HERO Splendor Plus XTEC

The Hero Splendor Plus Xtec is a more feature-rich version of the popular Splendor commuter bike and builds on the nameplate’s reputation for reliability, affordability, and ease of maintenance.

The Hero Splendor series has been present in the Indian two-wheeler market since the 1990s and was among the top choices for simplicity and practicality. Over the years, the range has been updated with modern tech and styling to stay competitive in the market.

The Xtec variant introduces modern amenities like a fully digital console and Bluetooth connectivity while retaining the functional, commuter-focused nature of the original model. While the design remains mostly unchanged, including the boxy headlamp and flat seat, the additions of LED DRL and new body graphics help distinguish it from the regular Splendor Plus.
