USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self is a practical and reliable choice for daily commuters in India. It excels in areas that matter most to its target audience, such as fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs, and ease of service. While it may not be the most stylish or powerful bike on the market, its strengths lie in its simplicity and dependability. The bike is well-suited for short to medium-distance rides, but it can become uncomfortable for longer journeys due to its stiff seat and poor suspension. However, its widespread service network and easily available spare parts make it a hassle-free ownership experience. Overall, it is an excellent option for those seeking a no-frills, budget-friendly motorcycle.
Price
In India, the Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self is priced competitively to cater to the budget-conscious buyer. The kick-start variant is available at an ex-showroom price of Rs 49,598, while the electric-start variant is priced at Rs 51,476 in Delhi. On-road prices, including registration, insurance, and other charges, can range from approximately Rs 60,000 to Rs 65,000, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes the Splendor Pro an attractive option for first-time buyers and those looking for an affordable daily commuter.
Latest Updates
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 07:16 PM The Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self has been discontinued by Hero MotoCorp, marking the end of an era for this popular commuter bike. The last recorded ex-showroom price in New Delhi was Rs. 51,494. This decision is part of Heros strategy to focus on newer models that meet BS6 emission standards. I think this move will push customers towards other variants in the Splendor lineup.
Sunday, 15 March 2020 03:26 PM In 2020, Hero updated the Splendor range, including the Splendor Pro, to meet the new BS6 emission norms. This update introduced catalytic converters, fuel injection, and oxygen sensors, although it slightly reduced the power output. The Splendor Pro Alloy Self, however, was not part of this update as it was already on its way out. I believe this was a necessary step to keep the Splendor series relevant.
Wednesday, 20 February 2019 11:18 PM The Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self was known for its fuel efficiency, offering a mileage of 90 kilometers per liter. This made it a favorite among commuters looking for an economical ride. The bikes air-cooled, 97.2 cc engine produced 8.36 PS of power and 8.05 Nm of torque. I think its fuel efficiency was one of its strongest selling points.
Wednesday, 10 January 2018 09:38 AM In terms of design, the Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self featured a sleek halogen headlamp unit, a sporty windshield visor, and a comprehensive triple-pod cockpit style instrument console. It also had sporty tail lamps, a chrome-plated exhaust muffler, and clear lens indicators. These design elements gave it a distinct look in the commuter segment. I think the design was a nice blend of style and functionality.
Friday, 15 December 2017 08:55 AM The Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self was available in several color options, including Cloud Silver, Shield Gold, Black and Red, Heavy Grey, Black Purple, and Candy Blazing Red. This variety helped it appeal to a wide range of customers. I believe the color options were a key factor in its popularity.
Sunday, 20 November 2016 05:49 PM The bike came with both kick and self-start options, catering to different user preferences. The self-start variant was priced slightly higher than the kick-start version. This flexibility made it accessible to a broader audience. I think this was a smart move by Hero to cover more market segments.
Sunday, 25 October 2015 06:10 AM The Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self had a kerb weight of around 109 kg, making it easy to handle for both new and experienced riders. Its 130mm front drum brake and 110mm rear drum brake provided adequate stopping power. I believe the weight and braking system made it a reliable choice for daily commuting.
Thursday, 15 September 2011 08:02 AM Hero launched the Splendor Pro in 2011, introducing self-start and new graphics to the model. This update was part of Heros effort to keep the Splendor series fresh and competitive. The campaign Spendor lage aisa, family jaisa was also launched to promote the family commuter image of the motorcycle. I think this campaign resonated well with Indian families.
Wednesday, 10 August 2011 01:21 PM The Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self featured an engine-integrated braking system, which enhanced braking performance by linking the front and rear brakes. This system was a significant safety feature for a commuter bike. I believe this added an extra layer of safety for riders.
Wednesday, 20 July 2011 07:33 PM The bikes instrument cluster included an analogue speedometer, odometer, and trip meter, along with a low fuel warning lamp. These features made it user-friendly and practical for daily use. I think these features were essential for a commuter bike.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 08:59 PM The Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self is renowned for its impressive fuel efficiency, making it a great choice for those concerned about running costs. Users have reported mileage figures ranging from 55 to 65 kmpl in real-world conditions, with some even achieving up to 88 kmpl under optimal riding conditions. This mileage is particularly beneficial in a country where fuel prices are a significant concern, making the Splendor Pro a cost-effective option for daily commuting.

Hero Splendor Pro Alloy Self Review

15 Dec, 2015 05:28 AM

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

Hero Splendor Pro is the newest member in Splendor family. Hero has stuffed this bike with new features to compete with its rising competitors. This segment of bikes is the busiest segment in Indian bike market and with this bike; Hero will try to take the competition to the next level.

Design and Style

‘Old is gold’; that’s what Hero believes in as this bike has no different looks than its previous generations. Hero has once again played their favourite game of stickers with this bike. They have tried to distinguish it from Splendor Plus by adding new graphics on this bike. Its integrated visor and cowl are the same, covering its unique headlight. Clear lens indicators are a new addition to this bike with new body coloured rear view mirrors. If you look it closely then you can notice its new silver finished alloy wheels and front mudguard which are different than its Plus variant. Sideways, this bike is the exact copy of its plus variant and features only different graphics on its fuel tank and side panel. Chrome shield on its silencer and carrier are a standard part of this bike. Side indicators at the back is the only difference between Pro and Plus variant, otherwise from its rear fender to its tail light, everything is the same.

Instrument Console

Hero has tried to make its instrument console look more premium and stylish. It features twin circular pods with chrome surroundings. The ignition switch has side turn indicators on its both sides. One of these dials features an analogue speedometer and odometer while the second dial houses analogue fuel gauge and other indicators.

Engine and Gearbox

This bike uses the same 100c engine used in Splendor Plus but it’s been altered for improved performance. This 4-stroke, mono cylinder engine yields out a peak power output of 7.6 bhp at 7500 rpm. The torque output of this air-cooled, OHC engine is 8.04 Nm which can be achieved at 4500 rpm. Hero has equipped this bike with a four speed manual gearbox with all gears up- shift pattern.

Acceleration and Performance

The alteration made to this engine seems to be effective as this bike feels more responsive and quick than its Plus variant. It now reaches 0-60km/hr in less than 8 seconds. Its revised gear ratios are also helpful while driving in city traffic. The power and torque output of this engine is available early. This bike can reach a top speed of 85km/hr. The crispy gear ratios remove the laziness from this engine. It still can’t go pass the engines of Bajaj bikes in terms of high end performance and pick up but feels certainly better if you talk about refinement. It’s a very silent motor which bothers you least when rev hard. The early availability of torque has resulted into better throttle response and that can be easily felt when it’s in big gears at low rpms. There is very less power offered by this engine after 6000rpm and that disappoints you highways. However noise and harshness levels are very less and that gives it an advantage over others. It’s not the best engineered engine in its class but surely has the quality and potential to impress you.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency of Hero Splendor Pro is more or less similar to its Plus variant but shorter gear ratios have increased its performance which has cut down its fuel efficiency marginally. This may give you a fuel efficiency of around 62-66km/ltr in city conditions while it increases by 5-7km/ltr on highways.

Comfort while Driving

There are no changes in this department. You won’t find its riding posture different than the regular Splendor. It’s still best for city commuters with an easy reach to its handle bar. There is no change in the quality of plastic buttons either. Front-set foot pegs and comfortable seat are carried over from the Plus variant.

Storage and Safety Features

Hero Splendor Pro has under seat storage space and utility box to keep the essentials. Moreover it features rear bag hook and carrier which can be used to carry bags. Pass button, multi reflector light and front leg guard are some of the standard safety features in this bike.

Suspension and Brakes

Hero Splendor Pro shares its suspension and braking system with its cheaper sibling Splendor Plus. At the front of this bike, it has telescopic forks while it features swing arm with adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers at the back. Its braking system consists of effective drum brakes of 130mm on its both front and rear wheel. Unfortunately, there is no option of disc brake in this bike.

Ride and Handling

Hero Splendor Pro is based on the same platform of its Plus variant which means it has similar physical dynamics. There is a lot of sense of familiarity in the ride and handling of this bike. There is nothing new in its ride quality which is not good news. The same skinny tyres and wheelbase of 1230mm finds it hard to make it stable at high speeds and around sharp corners. Nasty potholes and speed breakers are still a matter of concern due to its low ground clearance (159mm).

Shades

Splendor Pro is available in seven shades: Granite blue, Black with purple stripe I, Black with purple stripe II, Black with purple .stripe III, Black with silver stripe, Cloud silver and Candy red

Variants

Hero Honda Splendor Pro is available in 4 variants: kick start and spoke wheels, self-start and spoke wheels, kick start and alloy wheels, self-start and alloy wheels.

Verdict

Hero Splendor Pro ranges from INR 44.15K-47.15K (ex-showroom, Delhi (approx., may vary)). Yes, this is the price of a 100cc bike which has nothing to do with style and feels like many entry level bikes in terms of ride and performance. So, do you wonder what makes it so expensive; it’s the trust of Indians. Everyone believes in this bike and that’s the reason why it has been the world’s largest selling bike for many years. But not any-more, recently Bajaj Discover took over this bike and it’s a big warning for Hero. They should understand that people now look for complete value for money bikes not for old fashioned and expensive bikes.

Not up to mark

utsav nayak | 5 years ago

I think after separation from honda, Hero has lost its grip over quality of commuter bikes. They boast 70 kmpl and above but I get only 45-55 mileage riding at economy speed. On highway it gives nearly 60 kmpl at constant economy speed. Its seat is irritating, after 30 km riding you don't want to ride, poor suspension. Only thing beat is acceleration and speed comparing small engine. It won't start by self start but you have to kick at early morning. I don't suggest this bike for purchase.

Best Features: Handling is best.

Pros: Handling, acceleration

Cons: Mileage, poor customer service, uncomfortable, poor suspension

One of the best bike to ride. Its overall height make it easy to handle in heavy traffic. One flat seat is comfortable for long tours. It returns me 60-70 kmpl mileage which is my major reason to purchase this bike. I am happy to own this motorcycle.

Economical Classy Bike

niketan bhatt | 9 years ago

This is all new class looking bike. The throttle response of the motorcycle is quicker and sudden in nature as compared to other Splendor variants. Its kerb weight is low which makes it handy in city riding. The ergonomics is typical commuter-ish with comfortable front foot pegs, upward seating position and easily reachable handlebars. This bike is budget friendly and is fuel efficient and gives me a mileage of 61 to 65 km/l in cities and 68 to 73 km/l on highways. The bike has no front disc which is essential if we see the Indian road conditions and centre stand is also not present which can be a hurdle in the comfort of pillion rider.

Best Features: Fuel Efficient & Excellent Mileage

Pros: Refined APDV engine, excellent mileage, superb styling, value for money, fuel efficient, handling comfort, low kerb weight

Cons: No front disc, no centre stand, akwardly set front foot pegs, single seater

I think hero has lost quality after separation from Honda. I have it since 1 year, 7000 km and 4 services are completed. Though i ride at economy speed, in city I only get 45-55 kmpl and on highway only near to 60 kmpl. Its very uncomfortable and never start on self start early morning, I hve to kick everyday. Though for small engine it has nice acceleration.
