Expert's Opinion on Splendor Plus XTEC

Overview

Still the King?
Still the King?
  • The Hero Splendor Plus XTEC stands out as a more premium version of the iconic Splendor Plus
  • The bike features a digital instrument console and a few other changes compared to the standard Splendor
  • But does the bike offer enough to stand apart and still appeal to the average consumer? We will be answering this question.

Design

A More Premium Splendor Plus?
A More Premium Splendor Plus?
  • The Hero Splendor Plus XTEC has not received a radical change in design when compared to the standard Hero Splendor Plus.
  • The bike still maintains that iconic square headlight, boxy-looking tank and an overall slim profile
  • The XTEC variant gets slightly more premium looking colours and styling, which manages to make the bike feel a bit more premium

Performance & Mileage

The cheapest bike to run?
The cheapest bike to run?
  • Powered by a 97.2cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine which produces 8.02PS and 8.05Nm. The power and torque are adequate to keep up with city traffic
  • Has enough bottom-end grunt to execute quick overtakes in city traffic
  • Offers an incredible tested mileage of 83.2kmpl in the city and 95.8kmpl on the highway
  • Refinement is not the best and vibrations can be felt when pushing the bike upwards of 80kmph

Handling

The best city bike?
The best city bike?
  • Feels very light and agile when riding in city traffic conditions, and the small size makes it easy to cut through traffic
  • The light weight of 112kg makes it easy to move around in the parking lot
  • The drum brakes do not inspire confidence when riding in the city. For better braking performance, riders will have to get the XTEC disc variant
  • The rear brakes do not offer much feel, so it is easy to lock up the rear during emergency braking situations

Ride Quality

A comfortable ride?
A comfortable ride?
  • The Splendor XTEC’s suspension setup is set towards the stiffer side and the ride quality is not the best. You will feel a lot of the bumps and potholes on the road
  • The suspension setup only balances out when riding with a pillion or heavier loads

Comfort & Storage

Relaxed but not the most comfortable
Relaxed but not the most comfortable
  • The bike offers a relatively upright riding posture which is quite relaxed and comfortable
  • The low seat height also makes it easy for shorter riders to get their feet down
  • The seat cushioning is on the softer side which makes short rides in the city very comfortable
  • The soft seat doesn't do a good job supporting the rider’s weight for longer distances. After a while, the rider’s butt starts sinking into the foam making the ride uncomfortable

Features

Has a lot on offer
Has a lot on offer
  • The digital instrument console has a clean layout and is easy to read. The large font also makes it easy to take a glance while on the go quickly.
  • The idle-start-stop system (i3S) works quite well and helps in improving the bike’s mileage
  • USB charging port is a very convenient addition which makes charging on the go easy

Verdict

Still relevant?
Still relevant?
  • The Hero Splendor Plus XTEC stands out as a more premium version of the Hero Splendor Plus. It gets some much needed colour and styling changes along with some features upgrades. The bike is perfect for those who are looking for a reliable commuter, which has a proven track record.

Questions & Answers on Splendor Plus XTEC

Answered by Zigwheels Expert
Q. How are suspensions?
  • The Hero Splendor Plus XTEC is equipped with a Telescopic Hydraulic Shock Absorber at the front and a Swingarm with 5-step adjustable Hydraulic Shock Absorbers at the rear, which helps in delivering a comfortable and stable ride. This suspension setup is well-suited for daily commuting, as it absorbs bumps effectively and ensures better control on uneven roads.
Q. Can its digital meter get damaged in the rain?
  • The Hero MotoCorp Splendor Plus XTEC is designed for everyday Indian riding conditions, so its digital meter is built to handle normal rain without any issues . The console is properly sealed and water-resistant, which means riding in light to moderate rain will not damage it. However, problems can occur if the meter unit is already damaged, improperly fitted, or exposed to things like high-pressure water washing or water entering through cracks. So under normal use, rain is not a concern, but basic care and avoiding direct water pressure on the meter will help keep it working perfectly.
Q. How to maintain my splendor bike in best condition for long time
  • To maintain your Hero Splendor in the best condition over the long term, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule and use only genuine spare parts along with the specified engine oil. Ensure that tyre pressure is maintained correctly, the chain is cleaned and lubricated at regular intervals, and the brakes are checked periodically. Riding smoothly, avoiding overloading, and promptly addressing any unusual noises or performance issues will also help extend the bike’s life. Additionally, keeping the motorcycle clean and storing it in a covered area will protect it from dust and environmental damage.
