PROS

1. High Mileage

The new Hero Super Splendor is powered by a BS6-compliant 124.7cc single-cylinder engine, producing 10.8 PS of power and 10.6 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth 5-speed manual gearbox. Enhanced with Hero's XSens fuel-injection technology, the Super Splendor excels in fuel efficiency, delivering an impressive 55-60 kmpl in real-world conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for city commuting, offering both good acceleration and outstanding mileage for a 125cc motorcycle.

2. Very Extensive After Sales Service

Hero Motocorp is one of those brands that has dealerships in Tier-3 cities and even more, a lot of villages to get a touchpoint that demarkates its market penetration for both sales and the sales. If you want to get it serviced, you will find a service center in almost every city in the country even some remote areas too. This makes the ownership a lot more convenient and stress-free.

3. Low Maintenance With Easy Part Availability

Another thing very crucial to the commuter segment apart from good mileage is the lower cost of maintenance and easy availability of parts. The genuine spare parts of Hero Splendor Plus are reasonably priced and also available in external stores beyond the authorized service centers. This again, is a very essential part of vehicle ownership that has been democratised for a better experience with the bike.

CONS

1. Average Build Quality

While I know that the segment and price points have some constraints the build quality could have been a little better. Although it's not bad, we have seen better and nothing less can be expected from a brand that has such dep market penetration and an unshakeable trust amongst the masses.

2. Design Is A Bit Too Basic

It's 2024, and now finally it's time to evolve out of the long-standing lackluster styling that has been around for so long. The design now starts to feel dated with the same styling and no exciting upgrades have been witnessed over the years. Yet, it keeps on selling like hotcakes due to its extremely efficient mechanicals, the aesthetics can and should be worked upon for some freshness.

3. Vibrations At Higher Revs

The engine is good for your everyday commutes and also performs decently when operated within reasonable limits. However, if you are a spirited driver, and enjoy revving the motorcycle, the Hero Super Splendor is not the best out there due to its evident vibrations at higher revs. This is something that you may feel if you frequent highways where it generally is the most noticeable.
