Hero MotoCorp has officially introduced the new Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 motorcycle in the Indian market. Priced at Rs 86,500 (ex-showroom), the bike brings subtle design enhancements and feature upgrades while retaining its trusted mechanical core. It is available in five colour options: Glossy Black, Candy Blazing Red, Matt Axis Grey, Matt Nexus Blue, and Matt Chestnut Brown. Customers can now purchase the variant at Hero MotoCorp showrooms nationwide.
Design Updates
Visually, the motorcycle features revised dual-tone graphics, fresh colour schemes, XTEC 2.0 badging, rim tapes, and a stitched dual-texture seat. A new 3D emblem has also been added to enhance the styling.
Engine and Mileage
The Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 continues to be powered by the same 124.7cc single-cylinder engine that produces 10.7hp at 7,500rpm and 10.6Nm at 6,000rpm. While the mechanical package remains unchanged, Hero now claims a mileage of 72kpl, up from the 68kpl claimed for the previous model. The company attributes this improvement to technologies such as the Advanced Programmed Fuel Injection (APFI) system and the i3S idle stop-start setup. The bike also retains the Integrated Starter Generator, which ensures quieter starts and smoother restarts in traffic.
Features and Safety
Feature highlights include a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, offering call and SMS alerts, caller ID, phone battery status, real-time mileage display, and low-fuel indication. A USB Type-C charging port is also included. The main addition is hazard lights, now offered on the Super Splendor range for the first time. Other safety equipment includes a front disc brake and a handlebar-mounted engine kill switch.
