 Hero Splendor Plus XTec 2.0

The Hero Splendor has been a legendary name in the world of motorcycles, and Hero MotoCorp has now introduced a fresh update to this iconic model with the new Splendor Plus XTec 2.0. This latest version comes with significant updates that enhance its overall appeal and functionality. Let's dive into the details of these exciting new features and specifications that make the Splendor Plus XTec 2.0 a standout choice in the commuter bike segment.

Headlamp Update

One of the most notable updates in the Splendor XTec 2.0 is the new LED headlamp. The previous XTec model was equipped with a digital meter but lacked the modern touch of an LED headlamp. Hero has addressed this by integrating an LED headlamp in the XTec 2.0, which not only improves the bike’s aesthetics but also significantly enhances the headlamp throw, providing better visibility and safety during night rides. This update ensures that the Splendor XTec 2.0 meets the contemporary standards of bike lighting technology.

Graphics & Paint Update

In addition to the headlamp upgrade, the Splendor XTec 2.0 now boasts new graphics and paint options, adding a fresh and vibrant look to the motorcycle. It comes in three new stunning colors:

• 1. Gloss Black: 
• 2. Matte Gray
• 3. Gloss Red

These new color options, combined with updated graphics, give the Splendor XTec 2.0 a more premium and contemporary look, making it an attractive choice for young and dynamic riders.

Switch Gear Update

The third significant update in the Splendor XTec 2.0 is the all-new switch gear. The new switch gear is designed to provide a more premium feel and enhanced user experience. The improved tactile feedback and ergonomic design make the bike more user-friendly and comfortable to ride, adding to the overall riding pleasure.

Engine Specifications

The Splendor Plus XTec gets the same reliable engine which is been offered from the beginning with regular technology to suit the modern-day emission norms 

• Engine Type: Air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder, OHC
• Displacement: 97.2 cc
• Max Power: 8.0 PS @ 8000 rpm
• Max Torque: 8.05 Nm @ 6000 rpm

These specifications ensure that the Splendor XTec 2.0 delivers a balanced performance with excellent fuel efficiency, making it a perfect companion for daily commutes.

Pricing

Despite all the new updates and features, Hero MotoCorp has kept the pricing of the Splendor XTec 2.0 competitive. It is available at an ex-showroom price of ₹82,911, offering great value for money considering the enhancements and the brand’s reliability.

Thoughts 

I like the fact that considering that the Splendor Plus has become a cult in the Indian two-wheeler market the Hero Motorcorp is giving just the necessary updates to keep the motorcycle technologically competitive in the market as well as keeping the design and the aspects such as affordable and reliable irreplaceable. The only thing I think is Hero could have given a better fuel filler cap as the current design is running from ages, I mean the Splendor siblings including the HF Delux and Passion gets it. Also, quick info that you can still buy the non-Xtec and the Xtec 1.0 versions, they are not discontinued yet.
