2018 Hero Super Splendor launched

After showcasing its 2018 commuter range in December 2017, Hero MotoCorp Ltd has finally launched the updated Super Splendor in India at Rs 57,190 (ex-showroom Delhi).

With the fresh styling that the Super Splendor has received, the company is targeting the likes of young professionals. And hence, the chrome finished muffler, sleek tail light and new graphics.

Commenting on the launch, Ashok Bhasin, Head – Sales and Customer Care, Hero MotoCorp said, “Every second motorcycle sold in the country is a Hero bike. Within the domestic motorcycle market, Hero MotoCorp is a dominant leader in the 125cc segment with more than 55 per cent market share. The launch of the new stylish and performance-oriented Super Splendor is a significant step to further consolidate this leadership. The new Super Splendor retains the core attributes of one of India’s most reliable brands - Splendor - and is surely going to appeal to customers across the country.”

Powered by a newly developed air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder 125cc motor, the Super Splendor produces maximum power output of 8.4PS @ 7,500rpm with maximum torque of 11Nm @ 6000rpm. The motorcycle also features i3S technology (Idle Stop and Start System) developed by Hero to help improve fuel efficiency.      

The new engine is said to generate 27 per cent more power and 6 per cent more torque in comparison to its previous generation.

Apart from that, new features include headlamp with AHO, side-stand indicator. The rear tyre is also chunkier now and the seat too is wider and firmer.
