In a single sentence, the Hero Splendor pro can be said to be a more stylised version of its predecessor. With all-new graphics, a sporty windshield visor, and the all-new halogen headlamp, among other things, this bike surely stands out in the market. The paint job on this is sharp and quite durable, with the graphics only accentuating it further. Apart from that, you also get a newly designed stylish tail lamp; exhaust muffles with a chrome finish, clearer LED indicators and a 3D Splendor logo that only makes the whole look of the bike better. While the earlier Spendor design was basic and not too out there, this time, the hero has really amped up their game and made it a lot more appealing and extravagant. You will surely turn heads while riding this bike.
Another thing you should definitely consider before investing in a bike is its ride quality. While most of the features have been taken from the predecessor of the Hero Splendor Pro, this time, the hero has spent a lot of time perfecting every one of them. Starting from the throttle to the clutch and brakes, all of the essential components of the bike have been revitalised and made more efficient. Judging from the test numbers presented by the hero, this bike surely is worth its price.
When it comes to comfort, Hero Splendor Pro has not left any stone unturned. They have made their seats long and wide and also provided broad grab rails to ensure that both the rider and pillion can sit on them comfortably. Not only that, but the sponging of the seats has also been tactfully placed. This ensures that there is no discomfort, and you can take the bike for longer distances. However, when it comes to safety, this bike cuts some corners to ensure that the price does not get too high. That said, the new safety regulations mandate every bike under 125CC to come with a combined braking system, and the hero has promised to offer a model variant with an Integrated Braking System (IBS) soon.
As far as the tech goes, the Hero Splendor Pro does not include anything out of the ordinary. However, it comes loaded with the standard features that consist of an electric start and a stylish instrument cluster. The instrument cluster is big enough to show all important information like the fuel left in the tank, the speed of the bike as well as the headlamp indicator, and other basic information of similar nature. All in all, the Hero Splendor Pro gets an instrument cluster in the style of a triple-pod cockpit assembly that is informative but not very distracting at the same time.
This is the main benefit of buying the Hero Splendor Pro. If you want a bike that is not only powerful but also efficient when it comes to mileage while also being reasonably priced, you will not find a better option than this in the market. Its efficiently engineered 97.2 CC engine allows the bike to provide a whopping mileage of 65 KMPL, ensuring you do not miss out on long rides or get stuck in between looking for a petrol pump.
As is evident from the answers above, while the Hero Splendor Pro has made huge strides in providing its customers with a reasonable yet comfortable bike, they have done very little to make the bike’s engine powerful and safe. It comes with a basic set of drum brakes on both wheels. Even though a disc option would be safer, the 110 mm rear and 130 mm front brakes do their job efficiently. The suspension setup is comfortable and supple, making the ride quality quite amazing. That said, the telescopic hydraulic suspension unit in the front and the 5-step hydraulic shock absorbers in the back really help the comfort of the bike, further enhancing its performance.
Being on the cheaper side of the financial spectrum, the Hero Splendor Pro can be said to be quite a good value for money. Even with the low price, it ensures to add the required features to ensure safety and heighten performance. On top of that, this bike is the perfect example of what a commuter bike should be like. That said, it also has amazing looks with all-new graphics and alloy wheels. You should definitely consider buying this bike if you are looking for an easy, reasonable, and efficient bike for Indian Roads.
