First up, understand that the Splendor Pro Classic is, in actuality, the Splendor that we’ve known for long with some new, unconventional styling bits. So, what you’re dealing with here is the same air-cooled, 97.2cc single-pot motor that produces a little over 8bhp and 8Nm of torque, housed within the tubular double-cradle chassis, the same 4-speed constant mesh gearbox, 18-inch wire-spoke rims, telescopic shocks up front, a 5-step hydraulic setup at the back, and an 11+1.4-litre fuel tank. This means you effectively have the same mild-mannered motorcycle that’s capable of returning close to 50kpl between your legs. The new bits include the old-school chrome finished parts like the front mudguard and the dual-pod instrument cluster, rounded-off headlight and tail-light, side indicators and mirrors. The bike also comes with a low-set handlebar, is shorn of a pillion seat, and doesn’t come with a main stand or rear grab handles, which is a new thing for this segment. The numbers 1cyl, 97.2cc, air-cooled, 8.2bhp, 8.05Nm, 4M, Fuel tank: 11+1.4l, 109kg, 47kpl, ?59,563 (on-road, Mumbai) The verdict Unique styling cues have upped the appeal of the easy-to-ride, frugal and otherwise prosaic Splendor.
