Hero Honda
Splendor was discontinued when the brand was heading for a split. The same was
re-branded as HeroSplendor and sold under the same design. The motorcycle was
powered by a 97.2 cc, single cylinder engine producing 7.4 BHP at 8000 rpm and
7.2 Nm of torque at 5000 rpm. It weighs 116 kg while the recent version has
lost nearly 7 kg from the Hero Honda model. The fuel tank used on the same
measured 12 liters while Splendor claimed a top speed of 85 kmph. It was known
for its solid built and high fuel efficiency. It rivaled Bajaj CT100 and TVS
Star City in its segment.
Hero
Honda updated its popular Splendor Plus model. The new bike features a fresh
design language, modern alloys, new graphics and new colors. One of the most
striking visual modifications is the new front cowl which gives the bike a more
aggressive look. We also like the sporty rear end which enhances its modern
look. On the other hand the instrument panel looks a bit dated for today’s
standards, but at least its offers a good read and incorporates vital stats
such as the fuel indicator and speedometer.

flavour to your bike. A new look which retains the legendary Splendor trust.
