Hero Splendor News

The scuffle to stay on top of the two-wheelers sales chart continues between the Hero MotoCorp Splendor and the Honda Activa. Now that the May sales figures are out, it turns out that the Splendor has outsold the Activa, yet again.  

From the company’s wide product portfolio, the Splendor iSmart has been tested and approved by the International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) for the Type Approval Certificate compliance.

The Splendor is probably one of the most powerful word in the world of two-wheelers. It has been the highest selling brand for ages now, and just like every time, Hero MotoCorp is making full use of the brand. This time, the company launched the 25th anniversary edition of the Splendor Plus. 

The Special Edition commemorates 25 years of existence of the Splendor. It is based on the top-spec Splendor Plus i3S and costs a premium of Rs 1,000 over the latter. 

IBS is Hero’s version of CBS (combined braking system) which clutches both the wheels simultaneously even if the rider applies brake for just the rear wheel.

The Indian two-wheeler industry is a fast-growing market which has registered a positive growth year after year. With new brands making their foray into the market and existing ones coming up with new products, the year 2018 witnessed a notable hike in overall two-wheeler sales over the past years.
