- 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
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. For those looking for an affordable and dependable workhorse, the Splendor Plus is a solid and time-tested option.
The 2023 Hero Splendor Plus continues its reign as one of India’s most reliable and best-selling commuter motorcycles. With over 25 years in the market, the Splendor has garnered a massive following, known for its affordability, reliability, and exceptional fuel efficiency. The introduction of the XTEC variant, priced at ₹83,461 (ex-showroom), brings in modern features like front disc brakes and Bluetooth connectivity, ensuring that the Splendor keeps up with the times.
The Splendor Plus has maintained its classic, no-nonsense design over the years, with minor tweaks to keep it relevant. The XTEC variant brings a more premium feel with alloy wheels, a digital instrument cluster, and i3S technology for start-stop functionality. It is offered in multiple color options such as Black Sparkling Blue, Black Tornado Grey, and Red Black.
The design is clean and simple, making it instantly recognizable as the go-to commuter bike in India
Powered by a 97.2cc air-cooled engine, the Hero Splendor Plus delivers a modest 8 bhp and 8.05 Nm of torque, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. While these figures are not groundbreaking, the bike is more than capable of handling daily city commutes with ease. The engine is smooth and responsive in urban conditions, and the i3S system helps conserve fuel during idling.
The claimed mileage of over 70 kmpl makes the Splendor Plus one of the most fuel-efficient motorcycles in its segment, and this efficiency remains a major selling point for the bike
The Splendor’s telescopic fork suspension up front and twin shock absorbers at the rear provide a comfortable ride on city roads, absorbing bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. The addition of a front disc brake in the XTEC variant improves braking performance, offering better control and safety. However, the rear drum brake remains unchanged.
At around 112 kg, the Splendor Plus is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for navigating through heavy traffic. Its neutral handlebar position and well-padded seat ensure rider comfort, even during long commutes.
Despite its compact size, the Hero Splendor Plus is known for its rider comfort. The seating position is upright, and the ergonomically positioned footpegs ensure a relaxed posture. Riders of various heights, including taller individuals, find the bike to be accommodating due to its long and comfortable seat.
The lightweight frame and simple design further add to the ease of riding, making it a hassle-free commuter for both novice and experienced riders.
The XTEC variant of the Splendor Plus introduces a few notable upgrades, including a digital instrument cluster that features Bluetooth connectivity. This cluster provides real-time information like call alerts, SMS alerts, and phone battery status, a rarity in this segment. The bike also comes equipped with i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) to enhance fuel savings during idling at traffic signals.
Though it lacks more advanced tech features like LED lighting or turn-by-turn navigation, the Splendor Plus XTEC is a well-equipped commuter at its price point.
The Hero Splendor Plus remains a champion in fuel efficiency, boasting a mileage of over 70 kmpl. This makes it one of the most economical choices for city commuting, reducing fuel costs significantly.
At ₹83,461 (ex-showroom), the Hero Splendor Plus XTEC offers excellent value for money. Its proven engine reliability, exceptional fuel efficiency, and modern features like Bluetooth connectivity make it a standout option in the commuter segment. For riders looking for a budget-friendly, low-maintenance motorcycle that offers all the essentials, the Splendor Plus is a fantastic choice.
Hero MotoCorp's extensive network ensures easy access to maintenance services and spare parts. The Splendor Plus is known for its low maintenance costs, and the availability of service centers across the country makes long-term ownership hassle-free.
The Hero Splendor Plus competes with bikes like the Bajaj Platina 100, Honda CD 110 Dream, and TVS Radeon. While competitors may offer more power or modern design elements, the Splendor Plus stands out for its longstanding reputation, fuel efficiency, and low maintenance costs.
The 2023 Hero Splendor Plus XTEC continues to uphold the legacy of being India’s go-to commuter motorcycle.

Best bike for indian roads

Comming to splendor it's a bike which requires the very least maintenance. I hardly even change its oil for months or even service it. It's engines hardly ever breaks down and the mileage is around 80kmpl/hour. The service parts are easily available in any bike shops and tyres are also easily serviceable. This bike can go through any kind of traffic and also poth holes without damages. In winter it's a little difficult to start but you can always use the choke or try several times. The handle design is perfect for mobile holders and the rod at back of the seat is perfect for helmet locks. If you are delivery boy or office personal who needs to use GPS and lock helmet frequently this bike is having good structure and compatibility with latest mobile holders and helmet locks. You can also add anti fuel thieft lock below the fuel tank or add extra horns and usb connection with the battery for charging mobile. The fuel tank height is perfect for comfortable riding and you can add a leather puch to hold documents like bike puc and papers in it. The only drawback of owning this bike is it's a bad choice for intercity travel. Otherwise inside city use it's good. Perfect bike for Engineering students who want to save a lot of pocket money in repairs as it hardly needs maintenance compared to new generation bikes.

Leader in the segy

This is for all who are not happy with the high speed or getting low mileage at high speed. Please mind that the bike delivers a very good mileage at speed in between 40 to 50km/hr. And sometimes it delivers around 90 km /lt. Don't ride the bike or race the bike like power bike. You have to compromise one for other. If you want mileage then you have to drive at 40 or other wise you will loose the mileage. And if someone says that the bike sound increase above 65 then my dear you have chosen the wrong product. If your driving habit is like this then you go for higher segment.otherwise it is value for money. Very descent, good looking,high mileage, low maintenance bike is splendour. Mind it. The bike is there in the market from last 25 years. And still it will stay like this. The build in quality is very good. I had used the bike for 17years and sell it for 16000 . It has done 85k KMS and still no problem with any part of the bike.Even the new buyer is also happy.
