Overview

Introducing the 2015 Hero Honda Super Splendor, a motorcycle that brilliantly encapsulates the essence of reliable urban commuting with a sportier edge. Positioned in the competitive sport category, this two-wheeler has garnered a loyal following among riders seeking a practical yet spirited ride. It combines the renowned engineering prowess of Hero Honda with a design aesthetic that appeals to both novice and experienced bikers alike. Whether you're navigating bustling city streets or cruising along scenic highways, the Super Splendor promises performance and comfort wrapped in a stylish package. At the heart of the Super Splendor lies a robust 124.5 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a commendable 9.12 horsepower at 7000 RPM and a torque of 10.35 Nm at 4000 RPM. This powertrain is engineered to provide a top speed of 90 km/h (55.9 mph), making it perfectly suited for typical urban speeds while still offering a little thrill on open roads. The 4-speed gearbox is smooth and responsive, delivering power to the rear wheel through a reliable chain final drive. With a compression ratio of 9.1:1 and a carburettor fuel system, the Super Splendor strikes a fine balance between efficiency and performance, making it an ideal choice for daily commuters looking for an economical yet engaging ride. The motorcycle is equipped with features that enhance both safety and comfort. Its tubular double cradle frame provides stability, complemented by telescopic hydraulic shocks at the front and swing arm suspension with adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear. The 130 mm drum brakes at both ends deliver reliable stopping power while maintaining the bike's lightweight design, which weighs in at just 121 kg (266.8 lbs). With a fuel capacity of 13 liters (3.43 gallons), riders can enjoy longer journeys without frequent refueling. A microprocessor ignition system ensures optimal engine performance, while the electric starter adds convenience for smooth and easy starts. Available in multiple color options, including vibrant reds and sleek blacks, the Super Splendor allows riders to express their unique style. **
