    Affordable and Great Mileage mujhe Hero Splendor Plus ki fuel efficiency bahut pasand hai. 55-65 kmpl easily de deta hai. Maintenance cost bhi kaafi low hai, aur bike handle karne mein light aur comfortable hai. Daily use ke liye ekdum best hai."

  • Poor Power for Highway Rides
    2.0
    SPECIAL EDITIONS OBD2B(Petrol)
    The engine performance of Hero Splendor Plus is disappointing on highways. It’s underpowered, and the bike struggles at higher speeds. While the mileage is great, it’s not ideal for long-distance or highway rides.

  • Great for City but Not for Highways also Lightweight and Efficient but Lacks Modern Features
    3.0
    Drum Brake OBD2B(Petrol)
    The bike is lightweight and offers great fuel efficiency, but it lacks some modern features. The tripmeter and fuel gauge are basic, and I miss having a low oil indicator. It’s a good bike for daily commutes but could use some updates. Hero Splendor Plus is perfect for city use, offering excellent mileage of around 70 kmpl. However, the engine power feels weak on highways. The bike is light and easy to handle, but it’s not ideal for long-distance rides."

  • Good Mileage but Lacks Power
    4.0
    Drum Brake OBD2B(Petrol)
    The mileage of Hero Splendor Plus is impressive, giving around 70 kmpl. However, I feel the engine performance is a bit underpowered for highway rides. It’s great for city commutes, though, and the maintenance cost is very low.

  • Best Mileage and Smooth Engine
    4.0
    I3S Drum Brake(Petrol)
    Hero Splendor Plus ka mileage sabse badiya hai, easily 65-70 kmpl deta hai. Engine performance bhi smooth hai, aur speedometer aur fuel gauge kaafi useful features hain. Light weight hone ke wajah se handle karna easy hai. City rides ke liye perfect bike hai.
