Hero has never fitted a front disc brake to any Splendor+ variant, across any generation of this motorcycle, a deliberate trade-off rather than an oversight. By retaining drum brakes at both ends across every model, from entry trim to top-spec trim, Hero keeps the Splendor+'s price down. No variant gets ABS either.

Underpinning this braking setup is a tubular double-cradle frame. The Hero MotoCorp Splendor+ is powered by a single 97.2cc engine producing 7.91bhp, paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox and a wet multiplate clutch. Kerb weight stands at 112kg with a seat height of 785mm, though Autocar India's FAQ notes that fast-moving multi-axle trucks can unsettle this light chassis on highways, given the top speed of 87kph.

Instrumentation is handled by twin-pod analogue dials, and tubeless tyres are standard across the range. Annual upkeep runs roughly Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 4,000 per year.

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.

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.
