The right choice for which type of rider?
Every rider’s needs are different.
- Some commute to and from office daily,
- Some want a reliable bike to go to college,
- Some do delivery jobs,
- Some take out the bike throughout the day to do small household chores.
The new Splendor Plus strikes a perfect balance between all these needs.

- For those who already own a bike: Low maintenance cost is a relief.
- For senior riders: Its upright and comfortable riding position does not put pressure on the waist and shoulders.
Overall, it is the same companion who does the daily work without any tantrums.
Design and style: New style, old trust
Splendor has always been known for its simplicity. But this simplicity has been given a slightly modern touch in the 2025 model.
- Body panels: Now look sharper and more attractive.
- Graphics: More attractive than before and retain shine for a long time.
- Aerodynamic design: The bike feels more stable while riding on the highway.
- Front running strip lights: This not only gives a new identity to the bike but also improves visibility during the day.
- Alloy wheels: Gives a sporty look, but without much show-off, so that it looks like an everyday bike.
- Seat and cushioning: There is a one piece seat and the cushioning is already balanced. There is less pressure on the body on long distances.
New colour scheme and chrome finished muffler guard give a fresh look to the bike. Overall, it is the same Splendor that people know, just more polished.
Engine and performance: Perfect for everyday use
The real test of any commuter bike is not how fast it can go, but how smooth and durable it gives an everyday ride.
The engine of Splendor Plus 2025 is a 99.2cc single cylinder, which is BS VI compliant and comes with fuel injection technology.
- As soon as you twist the throttle, you get a smooth lift.
- There is no jerk felt in city traffic in first and second gear.
- There is a four-speed gearbox, in which shifting takes place with short and positive strokes.
- Both power and torque are balanced according to everyday needs.
Whether it is starting from a signal, climbing a slight incline or going to the market with two people sitting – the engine works comfortably in all conditions. Even in summer, there are fewer complaints of overheating, because special attention has been paid to engine tuning.
Mileage: The identity of Splendor
The other name of Splendor is mileage. This identity has become stronger in the new generation.
- It easily gives 70-75 km per liter in city traffic.
- On open highways, this figure can reach up to 80 km per liter.
i3S technology – the secret of big savings
Idle Stop Start Technology i.e. i3S, when you stop at a signal for a few seconds, the engine automatically stops and as soon as the clutch is pressed, it starts smoothly. This does not lead to unnecessary petrol consumption.
If you change gears quickly, avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking and keep the tire pressure as per the company’s advice, then the mileage improves further.
Everyday features and technology
Only those features matter in a commuter bike that are useful every day.
- Instrument console: Balanced combination of digital and analog.
- Eco Indicator: Tells whether you are driving in fuel saving mode or not.
- Side stand engine cut-off: The engine will not start if the side stand is engaged.
- Tubeless tires: In case of a puncture, the air comes out slowly, so that you can stop the bike on the side safely.
- USB charging (in some variants): Allows you to charge your mobile on the go.
- Xtec version: Offers connected features and a digital meter. Features like call alert, message indication and service reminders make life easier.
Comfort and handling: Family friendly
- The Splendor Plus 2025 is lightweight and can be easily maneuvered through narrow lanes or crowded parking lots.
- The handlebars are angled naturally, reducing pressure on the wrists and shoulders.
- The seat height is perfect for average height.
- The telescopic suspension (front) and hydraulic shock absorbers (rear) take on potholes and speed breakers with ease.
- The pillion seat is wide and comfortable.
So fatigue is less felt even on long distances and the back does not get stiff.
Brakes and safety
The Splendor Plus 2025 gets drum brakes on both sides, but they are tuned in such a way that they give confidence at everyday speeds.
- Integrated Braking System (IBS): Provides balanced use of front and rear brakes.
- Headlamp: Provides adequate lighting on city and town roads

Actual cost and service
The biggest reason for buying a commuter bike is the running cost. The engine of the Splendor Plus 2025 is based on past experience.
- Service intervals are easy and cheap.
- Oil change, filter cleaning, brake adjustment and chain maintenance are all affordable.
- Spare parts are easily available in every city.
If you get timely service done and follow small habits – like checking tyre pressure, lubricating the chain and setting the clutch correctly – then this bike will run for many years without any major repairs.
Where does it fall short?
Every product has some limitations.
- This is not a sports bike, so it is not made for high speeds and sudden braking.
- There is no option of disc brakes, some people may find this a drawback.
- The digital meter has the necessary information, but no advanced connectivity features.
- The top speed is limited, as the engine focuses only on reliability and mileage.
But if you want a simple, durable and economical bike for everyday use, then these shortcomings do not matter.

Hero Splendor Plus 2025 is not a new bike, but a new form of old trust.
