Hero Splendor Plus Xtec Features Explained In 5 Images

All the features on the new, smarter Splendor explained in detail

The Hero Splendor is over 28 years old and has gone on to become the best-selling motorcycle in India. Hero has had great success with each version of the Splendor, and has recently launched the Xtec variant of the iconic bike that features several smart updates. Let's take a closer look at all these new additions in detail.

The biggest update on the Splendor Xtec variant is a segment-first all-digital display with Bluetooth connectivity that provides incoming and missed call alerts and message alerts; two trip meters, real time mileage indicator and low fuel indicator, apart from the regular information like fuel gauge, speedometer and odometer. It also gets an integrated USB charging port.

The Splendor Plus Xtec also gets the i3S (Idle Stop Start) system to aid fuel efficiency. This system detects if the engine is idling too long while the bike is stationary, and cuts off the engine automatically, thereby saving fuel. A quick yank on the clutch quickly starts the engine right back up.

To ensure the safety of the rider, the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec is equipped with a side-stand alert and side-stand engine cutoff, and also features a bank-angle sensor that cuts off the engine in the case of a fall.

The bike also gets an LED DRL integrated into the headlamp cowl. This LED DRL is coupled with the same headlamp and turn indicators as the other variants. While the offset LED takes some getting used to, it lends the bike a unique and quirky personality.

The Hero Splendor Plus Xtec also gets four new paint options, namely Sparkling Beta Blue, Canvas Black, Tornado Grey and Pearl White. The Canvas Black model shown here looks minimalist and highlights the lines of the bike rather nicely.
