Hero Splendor Plus Flex Fuel: Same Price, Other Options

Priced at Rs 82,710 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new Hero Splendor Plus Flex Fuel is India’s most affordable motorcycle to run on ethanol-blended fuel up to E85. This new version walks the familiar Splendor experience closer to cleaner and more sustainable mobility, while offering future-ready fuel compatibility. However, if you’re wondering what else you can buy for similar money, there are several interesting alternatives available. From extra performance to more features, better styling and even electric mobility, here are the alternatives worth considering.

TVS Radeon Digi Disc

Price: Rs 82,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

If you are looking for the same, or even better, utilitarian commuter that looks a bit more premium and offers more features, the TVS Radeon Digi Disc makes for a compelling choice. It serves the same simple, straightforward design with a twist of classic touches, such as chrome garnishing and tank pads. Plus, its 110cc engine is tuned for better fuel efficiency and enhanced low-end torque, offering smooth city riding. 

It also offers more premium features such as an LED DRL, a digital instrument cluster, and a front disc brake, which are rare in this segment. Compared to the Splendor Flex Fuel, it feels a little more modern in terms of equipment while maintaining the comfortable ride quality and practicality.

Honda Livo Disc

Price: Rs 82,647 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

For those who want their daily ride to look a bit sharper than the average 100-110cc commuter bike, the Honda Livo makes a strong case. It carries sporty body panels, attractive graphics and a more youthful design without compromising practicality.

Its super-refined 110cc engine is one of the biggest highlights, which delivers better performance, too. Along with a sporty styling, it also gets a digital display, front disc brake and an engine kill switch, enhancing the premium feel. If the Splendor’s reliability appeals to your head but you want something that looks a little more exciting, the Livo could be worth considering.

Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon Single Seat

Price: Rs 87,255 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

If you are hunting for a bit of extra sportiness, the Pulsar 125 can be a good option at an accessible price point. Just put in a few grands more, and you can get the base Pulsar 125 Neon Single Seat. It features the same iconic design that made the Pulsar the biggest hit in the Indian sportsbike space. Plus, it gets sharper graphics and all LED lighting, enhancing its premium feel.

Its larger 125cc engine delivers significantly higher power and torque output, and its equipment is of a higher grade, too. With a premium suspension setup, wider tyres and a front disc brake, it offers better stability and more confident handling. For someone who wants a motorcycle that feels bigger and more powerful, the Pulsar 125 is difficult to beat in this price bracket.

TVS Jupiter 110 Drum Alloy

Price: Rs 80,675 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

If convenience matters more to you than gear shifts and clutch operation, the TVS Jupiter 110 is one of the strongest alternatives in this price range. Its automatic transmission makes city commuting effortless, while the spacious floorboard and under-seat storage add practicality that motorcycles simply cannot match. TVS has also packed the Jupiter with features such as external fuel filling and all-LED lighting. Put in a few extra grands, and you can also get a digital display with smartphone connectivity.

For office commutes, family errands and everyday urban use, the Jupiter 110 is proven to be the easier vehicle to live with.

Vida VX2 Go

Price: Rs 78,490 - Rs 89,290 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

The Vida VX2 Go sits in a similar price bracket but completely changes the ownership experience. Instead of focusing on fuel flexibility, it eliminates petrol altogether. The electric propulsion further reduces the running cost, a major advantage for riders who cover significant distances every day.

The electric scooter looks futuristic and features all-LED lighting, a large digital display, impressive storage spaces, and brisk acceleration that is difficult to match by most two-wheelers in this price range. Its base variant costs less than the Splendor Flex Fuel and claims 92km of range, while the higher variant, with 3.4kWh battery packs, promises 142km range.

With modern technology, connected features and the quiet, smooth riding experience that electric vehicles are known for, the VX2 Go makes a strong case.
