The Hero Splendor Pro has long been one of India’s most trusted commuter motorcycles. Known for its durability, fuel efficiency, and simple design, it has remained popular among riders looking for a low-maintenance, everyday bike. Although the model has been discontinued, it continues to hold a special place in the hearts of two-wheeler enthusiasts.
Design and Looks
The Splendor Pro features a classic commuter design with a steel fuel tank, chrome muffler, and sturdy rear grab rail. The analogue instrument cluster includes a speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge, giving a traditional and functional look. Its compact and lightweight frame makes it easy to maneuver through city traffic.
Engine and Performance
The bike is powered by a 97.2cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 8.36 PS of power and 8.05 Nm of torque. It comes with a 4-speed gearbox, offering smooth and reliable performance for daily commuting. The engine is simple, easy to maintain, and delivers excellent mileage.
Features and Technology
The Splendor Pro focuses on practical features rather than modern technology. It comes with kick start and self-start options (depending on variant), telescopic front forks, and adjustable rear hydraulic shocks for comfortable rides. Safety is ensured with front and rear drum brakes and a durable frame for long-term reliability.
Mileage and Fuel Tank
One of the main highlights of the Splendor Pro is its fuel efficiency, offering around 90 kmpl (ARAI claimed). The 11-litre fuel tank allows riders to cover long distances without frequent refueling, making it ideal for both city and rural commuting.
Price and Availability
The Hero Splendor Pro has been discontinued, so new units are rare. When it was available, the price ranged between ₹47,500 to ₹55,000 (ex-showroom) depending on the variant. Despite its discontinuation, the bike remains popular in the used bike market due to its reliability and low running costs.
