Pros Cons of Hero Splendor Plus

Pros

  • Iconic design with modern updates, including Bluetooth connectivity and i3S technology for fuel savings
  • Reliable 97.2 cc engine with 8 bhp, offering excellent fuel efficiency (over 70 kmpl)
  • Comfortable ergonomics and neutral handlebar positioning, making it ideal for daily commuting

Cons

  • Lacks advanced features like LED lighting or fully digital instrumentation, which some competitors offer
  • Limited power output (8 bhp) may feel underwhelming for highway use or overtaking
  • Front disc brake is available only on the XTEC variant, while the standard model still uses drum brakes

Verdict

The Hero Splendor Plus continues to be a dominant force in the commuter segment, offering a tried-and-true design, excellent fuel efficiency, and modern updates like Bluetooth connectivity and the i3S system. While it may not be the most powerful or feature-rich bike in its class, its reliability, comfort, and low running costs make it a perfect choice for daily commuting.

Pros Cons Hero Maestro Edge 125

Pros

  • Refined engine
  • Fuel-injected motor
  • Stylish design

Cons

  • Vibrations
  • Outdated Instrument cluster
  • Expensive

Verdict

The Hero Maestro Edge 125 gets a competitive entry price starting from ₹ 58,500 for the drum brake version, but the FI model is priced at a steep ₹ 62,700 (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi). For the money, it manages to tick all the right boxes in terms of offering the essentials in a 125 cc model. It’s not outrightly sporty and it isn’t commuter-ish either, it sits in a sweet spot right in the middle where it’s exciting enough for a new user but commuter enough for day to day responsibilities.
