Engine and Performance:
The Hero Splendor new model has a 97.2cc single cylinder, air cooled engine. It produces about 8 PS of power and 8.05 Nm of torque. The bike has become more fuel efficient with the new fuel injection technology. According to the Hero company, this bike gives a mileage of up to 70-75 kmpl, which is very suitable for daily commutes.
Amenities and Safety Features:
The new Splendor has an improved suspension system and a comfortable seating position. The telescopic fork at the front and hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear combine to provide a smooth riding experience. In terms of safety, the addition of the new CBS (Combined Braking System) feature is a welcome change.
Price and Availability:
The Hero Splendor new model starts at around ₹75,000 (ex-showroom price). It is available at Hero dealers. It comes in different variants – Splendor Plus, Splendor Xtec, etc., with new features and technologies.
Pros – What makes it a good option
- Fuel economy: Excellent for a commuter bike. If you mostly ride in city/urban & moderate speeds, the mileage is a strong point.
- Reliability & service network: Hero has wide service coverage across India, including Telangana/Hyderabad, making maintenance easier.
- Modern features in a commuter segment: Bluetooth alerts, USB charging, LED lighting – nice to have in a budget-friendly bike.
- Good value for money: For its category (100 cc / commuter), the new features and the brand backing make it a competitive pick.
- Resale & familiarity: The Splendor name has an excellent legacy in India, which may help resale and ease of parts availability.
Cons – Things to keep in mind / possible drawbacks
- Power / performance: With ~8 bhp, it’s not built for sporty performance; it’s aimed at commuting. If you want acceleration, higher speeds or long-highway rides, you might feel the limitations.
- Braking / safety features: Depending on variant, features like disc brakes, ABS may be missing (in commuter bikes these are often omitted). If you ride fast or with pillion often, check variant details.
- Suspension / comfort: Some user feedback indicates that while it’s fine for city use, for very rough roads or heavy load/pillioner the comfort may be decent but not superb. For example, from a forum: “I’m thinking to buy super splendor … many of them say … suspension and paint issues.”
- Upgrades cost & variant differences: The nicer trims with all features will cost more; if you opt for base variant many modern features may not be available.
The latest Splendor+ XTEC 2.0 is a very smart commuter bike upgrade: blends iconic reliability, fuel economy, and modern features fairly competitively. For city-commute, budget-friendly buying, and well-known brand support, it’s a hard one to beat in its segment.
Summary:
Overall, the Hero Splendor new model continues the legacy of the old model and comes with technology and design that suits the new generation. It is a leader in mileage, comfort, and reliability. It can be said that it is the best option for those who do daily commutes.
