2019 Hero Splendor Pro Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Hero's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2019 Hero Splendor Pro relies on a 97.2 cc (5.9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.3 HP (6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.1 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 85.4 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 Pro measures 112 kg (247 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.49 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 supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 140 km/h (87 mph).
