Hero MotoCorp has refreshed its commuter lineup with the launch of the Splendor Plus Xtec, a feature-rich variant designed to appeal to both loyal fans and today’s tech-driven riders. This version not only retains the trusted performance of the classic Splendor but now gets a modern twist with added digital features and bold styling
Sporty Makeover with a Fresh Appeal
The updated model comes with a sharper, more stylish design, enhancing its appeal among younger buyers. Hero has added new dual-tone colour options, updated body graphics, and a more sculpted fuel tank. A sleeker headlamp cowl and newly designed visor make the front profile look more premium and aerodynamic.
Also noticeable is the addition of an LED High-Intensity Position Lamp, which adds to the overall aesthetic and road presence—offering a more refined look for city commutes.
Advanced Features with Fully-Digital Display
One of the key highlights of the Splendor Plus Xtec is the fully digital instrument console. It now includes:
-
Real-time mileage display
-
Gear position indicator
-
Bluetooth connectivity with call and SMS alerts
-
Low fuel alert and trip meter
-
USB charging port for mobile devices
-
Side-stand engine cut-off for safety
These upgrades bring the commuter bike segment up to speed with modern expectations, all while keeping the overall simplicity intact.
Engine, Performance & Record-Breaking Mileage
Powering the Splendor Plus Xtec is the well-known 97.2cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, which delivers:
-
7.9 bhp at 8,000 rpm
-
8.05 Nm torque at 6,000 rpm
The bike may not be built for speed, but it shines in what truly matters for city commuters—reliable, smooth and efficient performance. The standout figure here is its claimed mileage of 92 kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient motorcycles available in the country today.
Comfortable Ergonomics & Daily Practicality
The riding posture is upright and relaxed, with a flat, wide seat offering good support for both rider and pillion. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and 5-step adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear, which soak up bumps well during daily commutes.
Thanks to its lightweight frame and compact size, the bike is easy to manoeuvre through traffic, park in tight spots, and maintain regularly.
Safety First with Integrated Braking
For braking, the Splendor Plus Xtec is equipped with 130mm drum brakes on both wheels, complemented by the Integrated Braking System (IBS). This ensures more stable braking in everyday conditions, especially in urban environments. The side-stand cut-off feature adds an extra layer of safety.
Value for Money and Pricing
At an introductory price of ₹79,911 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Splendor Plus Xtec is an exceptional value-for-money proposition. With its long-standing reputation for low maintenance and excellent fuel economy, it continues to be a top choice for budget-conscious buyers who want style and substance in one package.
Conclusion
The Hero Splendor Plus Xtec brings together the best of two worlds—trusted commuter performance and smart digital upgrades. With its bold new look, best-in-class mileage, and rider-friendly features, it’s tailor-made for today’s urban rider.
Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or simply looking for a dependable daily ride, this model checks all the boxes. If you want a stylish, fuel-efficient, and tech-packed motorcycle without spending a fortune, the Splendor Plus Xtec is the perfect fit.
