                  Review after 8k kms usage
                  Baja. Freedom bio is ideal for long commute as it is fuel efficient, low maintenance and economical friendly. Dual fuel adds flexibility although slightly less powered but sufficient for travel without pillion and not much heavy luggage. Ridden 8000 plus kms ok pure CNG, less than 200kms used on petrol, I can say ride on CNG is reliable as Bajaj has been on CNG vehicles like in Auto rickshaw from decades. As said earlier it is slightly less powered but enough for single person travel. I would recommend as the bike itself is easy to ride although it is 148 kg but feels very lightweight while riding. With a great mileage of 90 plus on cng and may be 60 plus on petrol ( coz ridden vert less on petrol)

                  Best bike in milage
                  Good mileage in this segment. I think need improvement breaking pads. Need sit comfortable raider and pillion. Light was good. Tier grip good. City mileage good. Best for long way and highway riding. This bike made a best tourist bike. But after long time bike riding bike hit. Good bike in 125cc segment.

                  splendor is the first choice of every indian middle class family.
                  After owning this bike for than 3 years , I feel that its very good about mileage, comfort, and riding posture . It's a very low maintenance bike , service costs are also very low. If you get full tank petrol in this bike you don't have get petrol for 1 month it take out a massive mileage. In India this bike is first choice for the middle class families. I also own this bike and doesn't have any complaint about it.

                  The Perfect Gift
                  My younger brother was preparing for his college entrance exams and he needed reliable bike. I decided to gift him Hero Splendor Plus XTEC after seeing him struggle with public transport. Seeing his smile when he know about it I knew it was perfect for him. He rides it daily and it has been great. I went along with him for the weekend trip to the nearby lake and he was thrilled. Watching him enjoy the ride made me feel gifting this bike was worth it. We both are feel happy on our each ride. I parked the bike outside my office and shared my ride story with a colleague. Seeing my excitement and how stress free my commute has become he asked if he should get one too. I realized then that anyone dealing with busy traffic and daily commuting would genuinely enjoy this bike as much as I do. I recommend it to all.

                  Easy and Stylish Rides
                  During my wedding preparations I realized I needed a bike for short errands and family visits. I wanted something easy for my spouse too and Hero Splendor Plus XTEC caught my eye online. We visited the showroom together she sat on it and instantly looked confident. The style, comfort and price made us decide to take it home that same evening. Our rides together have been fun and memorable. Last weekend we rode to a nearby hill station my spouse was nervous initially but the bike handled every turn smoothly. Even with luggage the ride was comfortable. We laughed a lot, shared snacks during breaks and felt the bike was like a little partner on our trips. While returning from that hill station my spouse turned to me and said I’m so glad we got this bike it makes every ride enjoyable. I thought to myself anyone else who wants fun, safe rides with family or partner should experience this too. That is when I felt I had to recommend it personally.
