Hero MotoCorp has officially launched the Splendor Pro Classic in India at Rs 48,650 (ex-showroom Delhi). The company had already dispatched the first batch of Splendor Pro Classic to dealerships a few weeks ago and now, it has officially put the commuter motorcycle on sale, along with the new Passion Pro TR.
Styled to mirror a cafe racer, the Splendor Pro Classic gets several classic styling cues like a new handle bar, which has been designed to resemble clip-ons, a round headlamp and tail lamp. The fuel tank, rear cowl and the single seat have also been moulded to make the Splendor Pro Classic look like a traditional cafe racer. The rear-view mirrors, headlamp ring, instrument cluster rings, front and rear fenders, suspension and the silencer have been finished in chrome to add its retro appeal.
Beneath all the retro coating however, the Splendor Pro Classic is mechanically identical to the regular Splendor Pro commuter motorcycle. It is powered by the air-cooled 97cc single-cylinder engine, which powers a majority of other 100cc motorcycles in the Delhi-based manufacturer’s portfolio. The engine churns out 8.2bhp and 8.05Nm of torque through a four-speed gearbox.
The Splendor Pro Classic will be available in two colour schemes– solid maroon and carbon black. The launch of the Splendor Pro Classic and the Passion Pro TR has been timed perfectly to attract the audience looking to buy themselves a new set of wheels in the festive season. With both these commuter motorcycles, Hero MotoCorp has added a bit of sparkle to the commuter motorcycle segment. These two motorcycles are distinctive options for the customers who want a fuel efficient motorcycle, that stands out of the crowd.
