                  VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE
                  Service and maintenance charge is normal, mileage is 50 - 55 kmpl on highway, 45-50 kmpl in cities and streets. Overall, it is a quite good bike with good performance and minimal costs. Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.

                  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.

                  Everyday Reliability with Hero Splendor Plus XTEC
                  A friend’s night ride idea made me plan the same, and it actually felt nice. This bike handles city roads calmly, doesn’t feel tiring, and keeps short trips easy. Weekend outings feel more relaxed, and even small store runs stay smooth. We wanted something steady for city lanes and small weekend plans. This bike feels comfortable and doesn’t trouble you in traffic. Quick turns, short breaks, and small detours all feel natural. Good for couples who like short peaceful rides. Great option for people who want a practical ride for daily movement. Works well in tight streets and doesn’t feel annoying on short trips. Weekend outings stay simple, and every ride feels manageable without extra effort or stress.
