The Hero Splendor Plus is a decent, reliable, & fuel economical commuter motorcycle. We like it for its easy to ride nature & cheap maintenance. However, its design feels very outdated & the lack of features also make it less attractive.

Pros & Cons of Splendor Plus

What we admire in this bike

One of the best-selling commuter bike in India

Reliable engine & easy maintenance

Lightweight means it is easy to use on rough roads

Fuel economy is one of the best in its segment

Riding position is comfortable & relaxing

New features like USB charging are helpful to the rider

Pricing-wise it is still one of the best bikes in its segment

What could have been better

Design is very old now

It doesn’t look or feel as premium as rivals like Honda Shine 100

Only comes with drum brakes, no option of disc brake

Seat needs more cushioning for comfort

It looks dated and boring on the road

Should I buy the Splendor Plus?

The Hero Splendor Plus is a very old bike in the Indian market. It makes sense to the customers who want a dependable & reliable commuter bike for everyday use. Its engine has good mid-range which means that you can easily ride it with pillion inside the city. Also, the good fuel economy of upwards 60 kmpl means less monthly fuel expenses. The best part is that it can be fixed anywhere in India with a roadside mechanic. Its parts are easily available & the resale of it is the best in the segment. The only negative is the lack of disc brake at the front & less performance on the highway. You should consider it if you want a practical, fuel-efficient bike. You will use it for many years.
