Positioned in Hero's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Hero Splendor NXG 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 4,500 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 3,500 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 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 NXG measures 112 kg (247 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (15.14 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. The 9.5-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
