Q. Which bike is better Hero Passion Pro or Hero Splendor Plus?
  • Hero splendor plus bike is best
  • Both Hero Passion Pro and Splendor Plus are good city commuters with strong engine performance and a durable body to withstand harsh riding conditions. The BS6 Passion Pro is a strong contender in the 110cc space. It’s fuel-efficient, quick on its feet and looks the part. However, it doesn’t match up to the quality standards in the segment, isn’t as smooth as its rivals and feels less special thanks to this. But if you’re looking for a bike that delivers on aesthetics and performance, the Passion is the way to go. 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. However, it remains to be seen whether the Splendor Plus BS6’s sales success will survive the sizable price hike. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.
