To celebrate the 30th anniversary of its best-selling Splendor commuter motorcycle, Hero MotoCorp has launched the Splendor+ XTEC 2.0 at Rs 82,911 (ex-showroom Delhi), making it just Rs 3,000 more expensive than the Splendor+ XTEC.
Hero Splendor+ XTEC 2.0 – What’s New?
The Splendor+ XTEC 2.0 features a segment-first fully LED headlamp with integrated H-shaped LED daytime running lamps and an H-shaped tail light. It now also has a hazard lamp with a dedicated switch, enhancing riders’ safety and convenience.
As an XTEC model, the bike also features a digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and a USB charging socket. The former allows riders to receive calls and SMS alerts directly on the display, ensuring they stay connected while on the go. Other notable features include an electric starter for effortless ignition, a side-stand engine cut-off to enhance safety, and an idle start/stop system (i3S) to prevent unnecessary fuel burning during idling.
What further differentiates the bike is the three new dual-tone colour options, including Matte Grey, Gloss Black and Gloss Red. It also features refreshed body graphics.
