Hero Splendor+ Xtec 2.0 Launched At Rs 82,911
The king of the commuter motorcycle market, the Hero Splendor, has completed 30 years of continuous production and to commensurate the same Hero MotoCorp has launched the latest generation Splendor+ Xtec 2.0. This new variant of the frugal 100cc commuter has been priced at Rs 82,911 ex-showroom, which is Rs 3000 costlier than the standard Xtec variant.
For the Xtec 2.0 variant, Hero has equipped the Splendor+ with an LED headlamp and revised graphics. In addition to that, it comes draped in new dual-tone colourways of matte Grey, Gloss Black and Gloss Red. Besides that, the bodyline and utilitarian character of the motorcycle remain the same with the robust build, side hooks to mount goods/luggage and the small tail rack.
Powering the Splendor Xtec 2.0 is the same tried and tested 100cc air-cooled mill that is capable of churning out 7.09 bhp of max power and 8.05 Nm of peak torque which comes mated to a 4-speed gearbox. Known to be capable of carrying loads beyond its rated capacity and the abuse of day-to-day commuting over all sorts of Indian road terrains, the Splendor still manages to return a claimed mileage of 73 kmpl.
The Splendor+ Xtec 2.0 features an all-digital instrument console that is Bluetooth-compatible for call and message notifications and more. For cycle parts, the motorcycle is equipped with a telescopic fork and dual shock absorbers for the suspension, and drum brakes at both ends.
In the highly competitive 100cc commuter segment, the Hero Splendor+Xtec 2.0 rivals the Honda Shine 100 (Rs 64,900) and the Bajaj Platina 100 (Rs 67,808).
