Hero Splendor iSmart 110 Summary

The Splendor iSmart 110 is Hero MotoCorp’s first ingeniously developed motorcycle. Shedding off the dependence on Honda, the Splendor iSmart 110 is based on a new platform and engine.

Hero MotoCorp has stuck to a conservative design approach for the Splendor iSmart 110, though it now looks more elegant than its other stablemates. The bikini fairing, curvy fuel tank and the simple tail section give the motorcycle a simple yet refreshingly new look. The instrument cluster also gets a basic design, though it does integrate a small LCD screen that displays the trip meter, odometer and fuel indicator. The company has also introduced the BS-VI version of the motorcycle which features an all-new diamond chassis instead of the double-cradle chassis on the out-going one. Design-wise, the body panels receive subtle updates including a new set of decals. Furthermore, it gets longer suspension travel, higher ground clearance and a longer wheelbase.

Powering the Splendor iSmart 110 is a new 110cc engine that produces 9bhp and 9Nm of torque, and is mated to a four-speed gearbox. With a top speed of 87kmph, Hero claims that this engine offers nine per cent more power and 12 per cent higher torque than its older 100cc counterparts. The bike comes with idle start-stop system (i3s) that helps in saving fuel in stop-go traffic. On the other hand, the BS-VI version is also powered by the same motor which comes with fuel injection. In terms of power output, the engine registers 9bhp and 9.89Nm, a slight difference in power figures.

The Splendor iSmart 110 is among the most competitive segments in the country, where it rivals the likes of the Honda Livo, TVS Star City Plus and the Suzuki Hayate. The Hero Splendor iSmart 110 is priced at Rs 56,280 while the BS-VI version retails at Rs 64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi).

Hero Splendor iSmart 110 Review

  • Good Things

    • Excellent fuel efficiency
    • Gets start stop system
    • The 110cc engine has good grunt
  • Could be Better

    • Braking setup could be better
    • Engine is vibey at higher revs

BikeWale's Take

The Splendor iSmart 110 is a more modern version of the Splendor. The iSmart is equipped with the i3S technology which switches off the engine if left idle for a few seconds. Being a commuter motorcycle, it also offers a comfortable riding position and good fuel efficiency figures.

Hero Splendor iSmart 110 Expert Opinion

There is a marked difference in the perception of an 110cc motorcycle and a 100cc one in the Indian market. Though the difference is only 10cc, the styling and features change and for the buyers, the 110 is always an upgrade from the run-of-the-mill 100. So, here is the Hero Splendor iSmart 110.  Elder to the Splendor iSmart with 12cc more cubic capacity and almost three quarters of a horsepower more to play with. And there is more. It also has the solid feel of the Splendor (most of us have grown up either on it or looking at one), along with the latest state-of-art technology and features.  

What is it?

So, here is the Hero Splendor iSmart 110.  Elder to the Splendor iSmart with 12cc more cubic capacity and almost three quarters of a horsepower more to play with. And there is more. It also has the solid feel of the Splendor (most of us have grown up either on it or looking at one), along with the latest state-of-art technology and features.

How does it ride?

Well, it rides like a Splendor and much better. What I mean is, it still carries forward the ergonomics that have been constant for the past 20 years and that is a good thing. It is comfortable with the folded elbows and an erect riding position. The seat is firm, making it convenient over long hauls while not being stiff.

The suspension is setup soft for a pliant ride at all speeds. Being light, you can flick it easily in traffic or to avoid potholes at any given speed. The four-speed gearbox is the same old ‘4th gear in 40 metres’ box that lets you ride from 20kmph (for my weight, 25 for Pratheek’s) to a top whack of close to 100kmph on the speedometer. The 109.15cc engine develops 8.9bhp of power and 9Nm of torque. The engine is torquey at low revs and as you go higher on the rev count, the vibrations start kicking in as it starts to snarl.

The brakes are good and the drum brake in the front bites well. The skinny 2.75 – 18 CEAT tyres grip well on almost all surfaces and allow the motorcycle to be highly efficient too. I couldn’t resist throwing it around a couple of corners and to my surprise, it held really well.

Anything else I should know?

The i3S technology. First of its kind technology for motorcycles in India, it is going to be unique unless someone else gets that. It isn’t a gimmick and works seamlessly. When the motorcycle idles in neutral, the engine is killed along with the headlamp and when you pull the clutch, it cranks up immediately. The effect is seen in the fuel economy figures where the 110 iSmart returned us more than 68kmpl for our city traffic run while a similar-spec Suzuki Hayate returned 64kmpl. Also, no matter how frequently the system has to operate, the battery does not dip and it should add a feather to Hero’s hat.

If you look closely, you will see the old Splendor engine has now been replaced by a conventional looking almost upright cylinder block like the Splendor iSmart. It is the new modular block that should be able to cater to engine displacement from 90cc up to 125cc.

Why should I buy it?

You will not go wrong here because in essence, it is still a Splendor. It is slightly on the heavier side than the competition (115kg) and is well built. The new look has its roots inside Eric Buell’s drawing room and the tail panel formed in a single stroke gives it away. The sculpted tank looks muscular and in this combination of black and blue, it looks classy especially with the silver outline i3S decal on it. The bikini fairing on the headlamp, the two-tone paintjob and black alloy wheels make sure it has enough style quotient to compete in today’s market.

The part digital instrument console is nice and has a service indicator built in. Backlit in blue, it looks modern but might turn out to be harsh on unlit roads past sundown. It also lets you know if you have forgotten to take your side stand off. The speedo reads well and the numbers growing in font as they go up give you a sense of speed even when the bike isn’t on the go. The plastics and switchgear are okay and not really something to complain about. The paint quality also seemed nice. It also gets the auto-headlamp and is a welcome safety feature that is going to be mandatory for motorcycles in India from 2017.

You should buy one because the Splendor iSmart 110 is economical to run and the wide network ensures that service is always accessible. It also looks good and comes with a sense of quality associated with the brand and of course the technology that might justify the price tag.

Where does it fit in?

The Hero Splendor iSmart 110 fits in with the TVS Victor, the Suzuki Hayate, the Yamaha Saluto RX and the Honda Dream Yuga. At Rs 55,731 ex-showroom, Mumbai, the price is on the steeper side for a very price sensitive segment. But then, the longevity and reliability of the Splendor brand is yet unmatched. Yes, the new bikes might not be as well built as the 90s motorcycles, but times have changed and the Splendor iSmart 110 feels as sturdy as it can get today. For additional safety, a disc brake should have been offered at least as an option with the 110, even if the price goes even higher.

      Beauty outside pathetic inside

      Mohammed Shahbaz Shaikh

      I have used this bike for 4.5 year.
      Before buying this 110cc model ismart I looked at the earlier 100cc model which was hit and gave a nice performance for a long time, so when 110cc model came it also had nice looks so by analyzing its past history and new look I bought this bike.
      for 3 months bike gave an average of 75kmpl with nice pickup after that the average dropped drastically to 25 to 30 without any reason and it happened with many bikes ok ismart 110cc.
      After that, the service provider opened the engine in 3rd month itself. After the repairing the mileage was 60kmpl but the pickup was like 90cc bike.
      Pros:
      Looks and only looks
      Cons:
      Performance
      Pickup
      Not comfortable
      Mileage
      Rusting on many places.

      Worst bike in human history

      1 year ago


      Rajiv Banerjee

      I have been riding bikes for the last 25 years or more and this happens to be my 4th bike. I never had so many problems with any other bike like this one. The timing chain got damaged and was changed 3 times in 5 years. The main drive chain broke and had to replace the chain set in less than 3 years. The build quality is so bad that something or the other is always not working properly. The balance is pathetic. I really want to spray petrol on this and burn it and then post the video on social media to ensure that hero knows about it. Worst bike ever made in human history!!!

      The bike average is not good, the company said 105 km/l and the actual average is 55 km/l. Moreover, bike's condition after some years is not well. My suggestion to all of you doesn't purchase it. I changed the petrol choke, clutch, and race wire.
      Some time engine voice is also found different.
      All over, the bike is not as per our expectations.

      This is my first bike, but the worst bike. On the first day when I take this bike to my home, the problem of engine noise started, given to the dealership to check on it. They said this is not a big problem, kept the bike for 3 days then noise problem solved. But in just under 50,000 km. Its engine gets seized about 5 times...I got regular service from the nearest dealerships also whenever the engine was seized also repaired by the dealership.I am regretting why bought a vehicle from hero motocorp...I will never buy or recommend someone in my life to buy any vehicle hero motocorp manufactured.
