2008 Hero Honda Splendor Plus Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Hero Honda's sport motorcycle platform, the 2008 Hero Honda Splendor Plus utilizes a 97.5 cc (6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 7.4 HP (5.4 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8 Nm (5.9 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 75.9 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Splendor Plus measures 109 kg (240 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.73 kg per horsepower). The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.23 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 894 km (556 miles) between fill-ups.
