Hero Honda Splendor (2009) Updates

Thursday, 01 October 2009 01:23 AM In September 2009, Hero Honda launched the Splendor 1 Crore edition to celebrate the milestone of selling one crore units of the Splendor. This special edition featured unique graphics and an all-black paint scheme, including black alloy wheels and a black engine case. This move was a testament to the bikes immense popularity in India. I think this edition was a great way to acknowledge the loyalty of their customers.

Tuesday, 15 September 2009 10:20 PM In 2009, the Hero Honda Splendor continued to dominate the Indian motorcycle market with its reliable and fuel-efficient performance. The bikes real-world fuel efficiency of over 60-80 km per liter made it a favorite among commuters. The Splendors success was also attributed to its affordable price and robust build quality. I believe this combination of efficiency and affordability is what kept the Splendor ahead of its competitors.

Saturday, 20 June 2009 06:22 AM By mid-2009, Hero Honda had already begun planning for the future of the Splendor, with rumors of upcoming models featuring advanced technologies like the APDV (Advance Pro-Series Digital Variable Ignition System). This system was expected to enhance the bikes performance and fuel efficiency further. The anticipation around these updates was high among bike enthusiasts. I think these technological advancements were crucial for the Splendors continued success.

Tuesday, 10 March 2009 06:58 PM In early 2009, the Splendor NXG, which was launched in 2007, was still on the market but was facing sluggish sales. Despite its sporty looks and features like dual-tone body graphics and 5-spoke alloy wheels, it failed to capture the market as expected. This led to a reevaluation of the models positioning in the market. I believe the NXGs design, though appealing, didnt quite resonate with the traditional Splendor customer base.

Thursday, 15 January 2009 04:14 PM At the beginning of 2009, the Hero Honda Splendor was still the top-selling motorcycle in India, thanks to its proven track record of reliability and fuel efficiency. The bikes 97.2cc engine, producing 7.4 bhp, was well-suited for the Indian roads and commuting needs. Its popularity was a reflection of the trust Indian consumers had in the brand. I think the Splendors reliability was its strongest selling point.
