Competition & Legacy

Compared to the previous model, the Xtec 2.0 is about Rs 3,000 more expensive. It will compete with the Honda Shine 100, which recently crossed the 3 lakh unit sales milestone.

Additional Features

The bike also includes a hazard light for enhanced safety and i3S technology for improved fuel efficiency, with a claimed mileage of 73km/l. All of this makes the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0 motorcycle an attractive option for anyone looking for a frugal and reliable 100cc commuter motorcycle.

DriveSpark Thinks

The Hero Splendor is an iconic motorcycle that continues to dominate the Indian motorcycle industry. Over the years, Hero Motocorp has introduced small yet crucial changes to the model to make it more suitable to its target audience.

However, at a glance, the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0 may look very dated and old, but under the skin, it comes packed with all the latest features such as fuel injection, auto start-stop tech and other modern tech to improve the motorcycle in every single measurable parameter.

That being said, the launch of the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0 will help the automaker attract more customers looking for a modern, fuel-efficient and reliable commuter motorcycle.
