It’s been 30 years since the Hero Splendor hit the roads, and the popular commuter bike now comes with a significant upgrade—a front disc brake. The latest Hero Splendor Plus Xtec model is now available with this feature, priced at Rs 83,461 (ex-showroom, Delhi), which is Rs 3,550 more than the drum brake variant.

Added Safety with Front Disc Brake

For the first time, the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec comes equipped with a front disc brake, offering enhanced braking performance. The disc variant weighs 1.6kg more than the regular model, bringing the total weight to 113.6kg. This slight increase in weight is compensated by the improved stopping power, making it a safer choice for everyday commuting.

Performance Unchanged

Apart from the new braking system, the rest of the bike remains the same as the lower Splendor models. The 97.2cc fuel-injected single-cylinder engine continues to deliver 8.02hp and 8.05Nm of torque. The Splendor rides on 18-inch wheels, offering a balance of stability and maneuverability, perfect for city rides.

Premium Features for Everyday Convenience

As the highest-spec variant of the Hero Splendor, the Splendor Plus Xtec Disc is packed with useful features. It comes with a digital display, Bluetooth connectivity, and fuel-saving start-stop technology, making it a modern commuter bike with a classic charm.

Bold New Design Options

The Splendor Plus Xtec Disc is available in three striking graphic schemes:

Black Sparkling Blue

Black Tornado Grey

Black Red

These fresh design options add a touch of modern style to the iconic Splendor, appealing to both new and long-time riders.

With the addition of a front disc brake, the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec offers riders a combination of enhanced safety, modern features, and the trusted performance that the Splendor has been known for over three decades. This latest update ensures that the Hero Splendor continues to be a top choice for Indian commuters looking for reliability and value.
