What makes the new Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0 stand apart from its rivals
The Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0 has been launched on the occasion of the ‘original’ Splendor’s 30th anniversary. It comes with some new features to make it even more appealing to the masses. Here are 5 highlights of the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0:
Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0 Features
The newest iteration of the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec gets a segment-first LED headlight that retains the iconic rectangular shape. A new H-shaped LED DRL is integrated in the headlight unit. Its tail light, too, is H-shaped, and the bike now also gets hazard light functionality. It continues to get the full-LCD instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity for call and SMS alerts, real-time mileage indicator, side-stand indicator, and other usual readouts.
Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0 Engine
The new Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0 continues to be powered by the same frugal 97.2cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that makes 7.9PS and 8.05Nm and is paired to a four-speed gearbox. With a claimed efficiency of 73kmpl and a 9.8-litre fuel tank, it should have a range of over 700km. That is almost as much as some of its owners ride in an entire month.
