Aimed at commuters who want the trusted Splendor with added features, the Xtec variant modernises the classic. For riders who value proven dependability plus connectivity, the Splendor Plus Xtec is a compelling choice.
Power comes from the same 97.2cc air-cooled engine producing around 7.9PS and 8.05Nm, paired with a four-speed gearbox. Delivery is smooth and economical, identical to the standard Splendor’s dependable character. Owner-reported mileage sits near 63kmpl.

This bike suits commuters who want the trusted Splendor Plus with added connectivity and features at a small premium. It works well for daily riders who value the Splendor’s reliability and economy but want modern touches like Bluetooth. The light, easy ergonomics remain beginner-friendly. It is less suited to riders wanting performance or those who prefer the lowest possible price of the standard Splendor, being the tech-equipped, slightly more premium variant.
Braking uses drum or front-disc options with a combined braking system, giving secure, predictable stops. The light, stable chassis makes it easy and reassuring in traffic. Its forgiving manners suit all riders. For an economy commuter, the braking and handling package is well matched to its everyday role, prioritising safe, dependable performance for daily city and rural riding, matching the standard Splendor’s reassuring character.
The Hero Splendor Plus Xtec adds Bluetooth connectivity with call and SMS alerts, a digital console, LED lighting and a USB charger to the proven Splendor formula.

For a budget commuter, the feature set is generous, appealing to riders who want the Splendor’s trusted reliability alongside modern technology and a more premium everyday experience at a small premium.
