Overview

Introducing the 2021 Hero Splendor Plus Black and Accent Edition—a motorcycle that perfectly embodies the spirit of practical performance and stylish design. Positioned within the sport category, this bike is not just a means of transportation; it’s a statement of individuality for urban riders and enthusiasts alike. With its striking black finish complemented by vibrant accents, the Splendor Plus stands out in a crowd, offering both aesthetic appeal and reliable engineering. Ideal for daily commutes or weekend escapades, this model continues Hero's legacy of delivering dependable yet stylish motorcycles that cater to a diverse audience. At the heart of the Hero Splendor Plus lies a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 97.2 ccm. Producing a spirited 7.5 HP at 8000 RPM and torque of 8.1 Nm at 6000 RPM, this bike is designed for efficient urban riding, allowing riders to navigate through city traffic with ease. The 4-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifts, while the bike’s lightweight chassis—tipping the scales at just 109 kg—contributes to its agile handling. With a top speed of 85 km/h (52.8 mph), riders can confidently zip through the streets or take on winding back roads, all while enjoying the air-cooled simplicity that keeps maintenance low. The Splendor Plus Black and Accent Edition is packed with features that enhance both comfort and functionality. The tubular double cradle frame provides stability, while the telescopic hydraulic front suspension and adjustable rear shock absorbers ensure a smooth ride, even on rough surfaces. Safety is paramount, with expanding drum brakes at both front and rear, and an optional front disc brake for those desiring extra stopping power. The bike’s 9.60-litre fuel tank means fewer stops at the pump, and with a seat height of 799 mm, it caters well to a wide range of riders, ensuring a comfortable and secure riding position. ###

    • Lightweight & Maneuverable: Weighing in at 109 kg, the Splendor Plus is easy to handle, making it an ideal choice for beginner riders or urban commuters.
    • Limited Power for Highways: While perfect for city riding, the engine’s power may feel inadequate for sustained highway speeds.
