The Hero Splendor BS6 remains a no-frills motorcycle. It gets a basic lighting system and an analogue console. This basic instrumentation reads out only the speed, total distance covered, and fuel level. The bikini fairing and the iconic rectangular headlight have been synonymous with the Splendor. The i3S variant, as the name suggests, comes with the Idle Stop-Start System. This feature turns off the engine when it idles for more than 5 seconds in traffic. The engine turns back on once the clutch lever is pulled. This helps it extract better mileage out of the motorcycle, especially on traffic-riddled roads.
The Splendor BS6 is powered by the same old 97.2cc sloper engine but it now gets fuel injection as standard. This humble motor has seen a small drop of 0.35PS in power, producing 8.01PS. Torque remains constant at 8.05Nm and there is no change to the four-speed transmission either, the Hero Splendor Plus continues to employ simple and trusty mechanicals. The double-cradle frame houses the sloper motor with suspension duties handled by a telescopic fork and preload-adjustable twin shocks. You only get 130mm drum brakes at both ends with CBS as standard.
