Splendor Plus

2009 Hero Honda Splendor Plus Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Hero Honda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2009 Hero Honda Splendor Plus relies on a 97.5 cc (6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. 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 110 kg (243 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.86 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,230 mm (48.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.24 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 887 km (551 miles) between fill-ups.
