In India, when you think of a reliable bike that almost everyone trusts, the Hero Splendor comes to mind first. For years, it has been the go-to choice for daily commuting, especially in small towns and cities. Now, with the Splendor Plus XTEC, Hero has given this classic bike a modern twist. It’s loaded with smart features that make it a big hit among young boys and college students. They love it because it’s not just tough and fuel-efficient, but also feels cool with its tech upgrades. Let’s dive into why this bike is stealing hearts.
The Trusted 100cc Engine That Packs a Punch
At the heart of the Splendor Plus XTEC is a 97.2cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. Don’t let the small size fool you – it delivers around 8 PS power and 8.05 Nm torque. This means quick pickup in city traffic, easy overtaking on highways, and smooth rides even on rough roads. Young riders say it feels powerful enough for their daily adventures, whether zipping to college or hanging out with friends.
Advanced Tech and Smart Features for the New Generation
The XTEC version stands out with its fully digital instrument cluster. It’s bright, clear, and shows everything from speed to fuel level. But the real game-changer is the Bluetooth connectivity. Pair it with your phone, and you get call alerts, SMS notifications, and even navigation hints right on the dashboard. Imagine riding and knowing who’s calling without stopping – that’s super handy for busy young guys.
Why It’s Every Boy’s Favourite Bike
Ask any young rider, and they’ll tell you the Splendor Plus XTEC is their dream first bike. It’s affordable, low on maintenance, and built like a tank – Hero’s famous durability means it handles potholes and bad roads without complaints. In rural areas or cities like Meerut, it’s common to see boys customizing it with stickers or accessories to make it their own.
Price That Fits Every Pocket
The best part? The ex-showroom price starts from around ₹77,000 and goes up to ₹80,000 depending on the variant (drum or disc brake). On-road, it’s under a lakh in most places, making it accessible for students or first-time buyers. Compared to other bikes, you get so much value – smart features without breaking the bank
