Q. Which is better, Hero Splendor Plus or TVS Raider?
  • Both TVS Raider and Hero Splendor Plus are good commuters and offer a lot to the riders. TVS’ has certainly come back to the 125cc segment with a bang with the Raider. It’s fun to ride, feature-packed, feels rather premium and is well priced too. It is definitely one of the most well-rounded offerings in the 125cc space. On the other hand, the Splendor is one of the most iconic motorcycles in India and also one of the best-selling. It has proved itself as a dependable workhorse and is backed by a massive sales and service network.
