The Splendor Plus is an entry-level commuter motorcycle that is well known among Indian buyers for its unmatched reliability, strong mileage, and low maintenance costs. It was first launched in 1994 as the successor to the CD100, and since its launch, this Hero bike has evolved over the years with updates in design, efficiency, colours, and technology. The most notable update for Hero Splendor Plus came in 2020, when it was upgraded to meet BS6 norms and equipped with i3S (idle stop-start) technology. The current Splendor Plus model competes with other commuter motorcycles, such as the Bajaj Platina 100, Honda Shine, and TVS Radeon.

Hero MotoCorp Splendor+ FAQs

No. It uses the exact same 97.2cc engine found in all other variants. The "125 Million" name is solely a celebration of Hero MotoCorp reaching a historic production milestone.

When you add a pillion or load up heavy commercial cargo delivery boxes (weighing roughly 70-80kg), expect a mild drop.

Mostly yes, but, if a speeding multi-axle commercial truck passes you, the massive air displacement may cause the bike to wobble. Its light chassis and 112kg kerb weight can become a drawback on open roads.

Adding a hydraulic front disc brake system requires a master cylinder, fluid plumbing, and other components., which would increase the entry price.

You can expect to spend around Rs 2,500-4,000 annually on maintenance. While general servicing at authorized centers usually cost around Rs 700-1,100.

  • Budget-conscious buyers who simply want to get from Point A to Point B with the absolute lowest fuel bill possible. Hero claims that the motorcycle can deliver 70kpl with E20 fuel.
  • People who spend 6 to 8 hours a day on the road for work, such as Swiggy/Zomato delivery partners, courier agents, or field sales executives. Its long, flat, and cushioned seat makes it easy for riders to carry heavy backpacks or large delivery boxes. 
  • People who hate dealing with complex electronics, radiator coolants, or expensive sensor breakdowns. The Splendor's simplicity is its greatest strength, and its proven engine can run for decades with basic, timely oil changes.

  • Highway riders. The bike struggles to cross 95-98kph, and when a fast-moving heavy vehicle, like a truck, passes, the bike may feel a bit wobbly.
  • Tech and performance enthusiasts. The Splendor Plus lacks front disc brakes, mono-shock suspension, and quick acceleration. It is built strictly for utility, not excitement.

I have a Hero Splendor+ BS4 i3S 2017 model. My daily riding is about 10 km on weekdays and 20 km on weekends. I want to know which engine oil is best for my bike.

Verified

For your Hero Splendor+, we would recommend sticking with the oil brand and the specific grade recommended by the manufacturer. Moving to a different engine oil grade could potentially impact your engine's performance, fuel efficiency, and its overall longevity and isn't advisable. Refer to your owner's manual or get in touch with your nearest authorised Hero service centre to get more clarity on this matter.
