1. Very Reliable Engine:
The Hero Splendor Plus new model comes with a 97.2cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder, OHC engine. The engine of Hero Splendor Plus 2020 generates the power of 7.91 BHP at 8000 rpm and the torque of 8.05 Nm at 6000 rpm. This bike is loaded with a sensor-based electronic fuel injection technology The power is low for the non-Indian countries, because of the heavy traffic on Indian roads, this bike manages the urban and rural area traveling well. We can say that the engine of the bike is rough and tough. You can ride between 50,000 kilometers to 1,00,000 kilometers easily from this bike. I know personally, some owners ride this bike full 20 years.
2. Low Price (Half of the iPhone 11 pro):
The price of the BS6 Hero Splendor plus new model is within the 50% price of the iPhone 11. Not only the iPhone 11 pro, but a lot of companies are also launching a mobile phone in the price range of Honda splendor plus. The multi-purpose utility of this bike makes this one of the popular and affordable bikes on the Indian roads. The ex-showroom price of Hero Splendor Plus starts from 60,500 rupees while the ex-showroom price of Hero Splendor Plus i3s starts from 64,010 rupees.
3. Lowest Maintenance:
If you will ask me the maintenance of the Hero Splendor Plus, I shall say that the maintenance of this motorcycle is as cheap as the cover of your smartphone. You have to change only engine oil and normal routine checking in this bike which costs around 300-500 rupees maximum. If you have a sportbike then you will know the cost of chain lubing around 150-200 rupees per 500 to 1,000 kilometers and its replacement charge around every 20,000 kilometers costs more than 1500 rupees. In Splendor, you are totally free from this. This bike comes with a covered chain and sprocket set which runs 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers normally without any replacement. So, the maintenance cost of the Splendor is very nominal.
4. Cheaper Parts Like Cycle:
The spare parts of the Honda Splendor Plus are very cheap. Every part is much cheaper than a sportbike. It seems that you are changing the parts of your bicycle.
5. Mileage:
We can say that this bike runs by smelling petrol. The ARAI mileage of this bike is 80.6 kilometers per liter. The petrol price in India is rising very rapidly from the last decade. So, at this time this bike saves extra money in the fuel by giving great mileage.
6. Strong, Light in Weight and Easy to Handle:
The Hero Splendor Plus is very light. The weight of this motorcycle is around 110 kg (for kick start) and 112 kg (for a self-start). It can carry around 150 kg of weight easily. The seating position of rider and pillion both are very comfortable. The chassis of this bike is the Tubular Double Cradle type.
7. Made for All Roads:
Tubeless tyres, alloy wheels, and 165mm ground clearance lead this bike to best for all roads. You can ride this bike on the highways at 50-60 kilometers per hour easily while it travels very comfortably on rugged rural roads also. I had seen a lot of front suspension oil leakage problem in the sports bike on the rugged rural roads where Hero Splendor Plus runs with a lot of ease. The front telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and 5-step adjustable rear side hydraulic shock absorbers support greatly to the rider.
8. Simple and Pure Mechanical Components:
This motorcycle seems loaded with pure mechanical components. Hero used less plastic and fiber in the Splendor Plus. The engine looks very simple. Lighting and electricals are very simple. In the overall look, you will find more mechanical and steel than fiber and plastic on this bike. Even Pillion grabrail is made from steel in this bike.
9. Can Carry a Great Load Effortlessly:
This run machine can carry the twice load of its own weight. Many are using this motorcycle for selling milk products. Maximum farmers are also using this motorcycle in the villages. I had seen a former riding Splendor plus by carrying a 100 kg bag of animal food. This job is probably impossible with sportbikes. In some serious cases, three people can easily seat on this bike and travel though traveling on the bike with more than two people in the bike is not allowed in India, so we should avoid it.
10. Compatible for All Age:
Hero Splendor Plus is comfortably ridden by a son as well as his father. Pillion seat height is as same as the rider's seat height, because of this, old age people like this bike most. A saree guard as standard has been given in this bike which is very helpful to the women of India as a lot of Indian women wear saree or suit which can choke into the rear wheel.
The above is the reason that this bike has been won the top-selling award many more times and ruling the Indian roads from the two decades. Hero Splendor plus color options are black with silver, black with purple, black with sports red, and heavy grey with green. Engine cut-off at fall, i3s technology, and fuel injection with all-weather easy start sensors are the modern necessary features given in the BS6 Hero Splendor Plus 2021.
