Touted as the spiritual successor to the legendary CD 100, Hero introduced the first Splendor in 1994. Since then, the Splendor has been responsible for contributing a principle share to overall sales by clocking over a million units per year. The commuter motorcycle is available in different avatars, one of which is the Splendor Plus. Despite being long in the tooth, the Splendor Plus has a decent number of standard features. The bike is also offered with features like a stylish instrument console, optional alloy wheels and electric start.The motorcycle is propelled by the tried and tested 97.2cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder motor equipped with the company’s i3S technology, which is used to power other Hero products. The engine is capable of producing 8.2bhp of max power and 8Nm of peak torque. With emphasis laid on squeezing out maximum efficiency, the engine has been tuned to offer a balance between performance and economy. For cycle parts, the Splendor Plus comes with telescopic forks up front and five-step adjustable hydraulic twin shock absorbers at the back. For braking, now equipped with IBS (Integrated Braking System), the motorcycle comes equipped with 130mm drum brakes at both ends.
