      I love this bike! It’s the best option under budget, and I’ve been happily using my Splendor Plus for 5 years now. Thank you, Hero, for making such a reliable and affordable bike — truly the best choice for middle-class riders.

      The service is good and reliable for a long time. The vehicle feels strong and durable. The new digital meter reading is very convenient, and most home parts work well with it. Overall, it has been a satisfactory experience.
