Another all-new Splendor, what’s it this time, a new sticker job?
We have to agree that Hero has milked the Splendor brand name for almost two and a half decades. Even today you have four different variants of the Splendor on sale powered by the same engine since the early 90’s.
What makes the Splendor iSmart 110 different from your Splendor Pro and Classic, and every variant in between is that it’s an all-new bike. Rather than a sticker job, Hero has designed this bike from scratch with an all new engine and chassis.
An all new engine! Tell me more?
Yes that’s right. Hero is finally moving away from Honda’s engines and developing their own tech. Visually, there’s a clear distinction as the iSmart 110cc motor has a vertically-placed cylinder, unlike the horizontal setup of the older Splendor. The motor produces a maximum power of 9.4bhp and 9Nm of torque. Hero is quite confident about performance and also claims a range of 68kpl, thanks to the i3S stop-start technology.
