i3S Technology
The switch on the right side of the handlebar, in blue, works to turn the bike on and off in seconds, without any hassle. In situations where the bike has to stand still for a minute or so, the rider can quickly turn off the bike to save fuel. Usually, people don't turn off their bikes at red lights, even when the countdown is displayed. The i3S technology is really handy in situations like these.
5 - Step Adjustable Suspension
We all know how durable the Splendor really is, and its strong suspension is the reason why even three people can travel comfortably. Plus, it is 5-step adjustable, so if the pillion rider is carrying something heavy, the component can be adjusted to make it stiffer. This helps keep the luggage and the pillion rider secure, even during braking or on bumpy roads.
Side Stand Indicator
The Hero Splendor plus is mostly used by young riders who are learning to ride on India's number one choice. It's been noted several times that they forget to retract the side stand after sitting on the bike. To address this, Hero added a side stand indicator on the dials, which can be really handy in preventing accidents. The side stand indicator is beneficial for everyone, enhancing safety and preventing situations where the stand might get hit and break off, leading to an unavoidable expense for the rider.
5 Year Warranty
Although the Hero Splendor Plus is one of the most reliable machines on the planet, Hero still offers a 5-year warranty on the bike. This means that if anything happens to the bike, which is unlikely, everything will be taken care of at a Hero service station. Services like this attract many customers because, before buying any vehicle, people often wonder if the company will provide adequate support.
Tubeless Tyres
Travel across any rocky surfaces or waterlogged roads with ease, as both tires on the Splendor Plus are tubeless. They are lightweight, and in case of a puncture, it can be easily repaired. Regarding the size, both tires are 80/100-18 M/C 47P profile with drum brakes, which are standard across all variants.

Verdict
The features list of the Hero Splendor Plus doesn't match its price. When compared to other bikes like the Bajaj CT 110X and Platina, which cost less and offer more features along with higher mileage, the discrepancy becomes apparent. For instance, the ARAI fuel efficiency of the Hero Splendor Plus is 60 kmpl, whereas the Platina delivers an average of 100 kmpl. However, the target audience for the Splendor Plus is different; for them, these factors may not be as important, and they will continue to buy it, allowing Hero to maintain its profit.
