Both models - the Splendor+ and HF Deluxe - get an equal discount of Rs 4,000 bringing the effective ex-showroom price down to Rs 78,710 and 68,792, respectively. This marks a substantial benefit for both motorcycles as they are already priced at the affordable end of the spectrum.

At their discounted price, the Splendor+ Flex costs Rs 1,153 more than the E20-compliant Splendor+, whereas the HF Deluxe Flex costs Rs 1,650 less than the comparable E20-compliant HF Deluxe I3S Cast variant. This offer is valid until July 2026 and the motorcycles will initially be available in Delhi and select regions of Maharashtra from July 2026 before being rolled out to other markets across the country.

Underpinning both motorcycles is Hero's long-serving 97.2cc single-cylinder engine, now adapted to run on ethanol blends ranging from E20 to E85. In E85 guise, the engine produces 8.6hp at 8,000rpm and 8.3Nm at 6,000rpm. To support operation on higher ethanol blends, Hero has equipped the motorcycles with revised ECU calibration and upgraded fuel system components, including a new fuel pump and secondary fuel filter.
