Hero has increased the prices of its best-selling bike in India - the Hero Splendor Plus. The Hero Splendor Plus range includes three models: the standard Hero Splendor Plus, the Splendor Plus Xtec, and the Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0. All variants of the bike get a price hike of Rs 250, except the '125 Million Edition'. Here's the updated variant-wise price list:
Model | Variant | Old Price | New Price | Price Increase |
Hero Splendor Plus | Drum Brake | Rs 73,902 | Rs 74,152 | Rs 250 |
i3S | Rs 75,055 | Rs 75,305 | Rs 250 | |

Xtec 2.0 Drum Brake | Rs 79,964 | Rs 80,214 | Rs 250 |

We think this price hike is rather negligible and won't make people shy away from buying it. The Splendor still remains quite affordable, and desirable because of its extreme value for money, efficiency, and ease of ownership. That said, the Splendor Plus is a low-frills package, which also makes it easier to repair, and thus cheaper to maintain. If you are someone who would want to have a lot of features in their bike, the TVS Radeon might be a bike worth checking out.
