Visually, the all-new Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 sports a thoroughly refreshed visual identity that adds a sharp, contemporary appeal to its classic silhouette. The design team has thrown in dynamic dual-tone body graphics alongside a vibrant colour palette to breathe fresh energy into the motorcycle.
To ensure it has a commanding and premium road presence, this specific variant stands out with:

Enhanced Performance and Best-in-Class Mileage
Under the skin sits a thoroughly proven and highly efficient 124.7cc single-cylinder engine. This motor pushes out a solid 10.7 bhp at 7500 rpm and a peak torque of 10.6 Nm at 6000 rpm. It is tuned perfectly for refined everyday commuting, offering smooth acceleration, a dependable riding experience, and responsive performance no matter the road conditions.
The real crown jewel of the XTEC 2.0 package is its best-in-class mileage of 72 kmpl. This incredible fuel efficiency is achieved by pairing an Advanced Programmed Fuel Injection (APFI) system with Hero MotoCorp’s trusted i3S (Idle Stop-Start System). This tech cleverly optimises fuel consumption whilst making the ride feel incredibly smooth. On top of that, it features an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), which gives riders a near-silent engine start experience and a seamless restart when sitting in heavy stop-and-go traffic.
Safety Enabled by Smart Technology
Hero has also used smart tech to elevate everyday safety and boost rider confidence. For the first time ever in the Super Splendor series, they have introduced segment-first Hazard Lights. This critical safety feature flashes all four indicators at the same time to guarantee maximum visibility during unexpected emergencies or breakdowns.
For assured stopping power and enhanced control, the motorcycle comes equipped with a Front Disc Brake. There is also a handlebar-mounted engine kill switch, making it incredibly easy to cut the ignition quickly during stress-free daily use.
Smart Connectivity and Everyday Convenience
The tech upgrades continue with a Fully Digital Instrument Cluster that features full Bluetooth connectivity, keeping commuters seamlessly connected on the move. The digital console is incredibly handy, displaying:
- Incoming call alerts and missed call alerts
- SMS notifications
- Caller ID
- Phone battery status
The motorcycle also includes Hero MotoCorp’s clever Real Time Mileage Indicator (RTMi) and a Low Fuel Indicator, so riders are always completely in control of their fuel consumption. To top it all off, a 2 Amp USB Type-C charging port has been added to the handlebar area, ensuring smartphones stay fully charged for communication and navigation throughout the journey.
Superior Comfort for the Daily Grind
Because daily commutes can be incredibly demanding, the bike has been engineered with superior ergonomics. It features a wide, upright handlebar and a relaxed riding posture that drastically cuts down on rider fatigue across city streets and open highways alike.
The long, comfortable seat offers plenty of space for both the rider and a pillion. Bumps are soaked up by a refined telescopic front suspension that delivers a beautifully balanced ride over unpredictable terrain, while a wide rear grab rail gives excellent stability and support to the pillion passenger during bumpy rides.
