Subtle and minor cosmetic changes have been incorporated in the Hero Splendor+ Xtec 2.0, but the overall silhouette remains the same. 

 

The Hero Splendor has consistently been India's highest-selling motorcycle, since it was first introduced in 1994, as part of the erstwhile partnership between Hero and Honda. In fact, the Splendor became so popular that its sales soon surpassed that of its predecessor, the Hero Honda CD100, the original four-stroke 100 cc motorcycle which became India's favourite in the 1980s.  Today, the Hero Splendor continues to be a hot favourite, and in April 2024 alone, more than 3.2 lakh units of the Hero Splendor were sold, accounting for over 62 per cent of Hero MotoCorp's overall sales.
