The Hero Honda Splendor (1994) was designed as a highly reliable and fuel-efficient commuter motorcycle, continuing the legacy of the Hero Honda CD100 but with improved styling and ergonomics. It had a long, comfortable seat, flush side panels, a streamlined, aerodynamic fuel tank, and a simple yet stylish headlamp design. With a 97.2 cc air-cooled, 4-stroke engine built on Honda's renowned technology, it produced about 7.4 horsepower and an amazing 80 km/l of mileage, making it one of the most fuel-efficient motorcycles of its era. A tubular double-cradle steel chassis made up the frame, which guaranteed stability and longevity on Indian roads. For weight reduction and corrosion resistance, the majority of the body sections were constructed from pressed steel panels with ABS plastic trims. A balanced ride was offered by telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers, and spoke wheels with drum brakes kept expenses down. Hero Honda's Dharuhera plant in Haryana was used for manufacturing, and a large percentage of the components were locally sourced to guarantee affordability and ease of maintenance. The Splendour is one of the best-selling commuter motorcycles in India because of its simple yet practical design, low maintenance needs, and sturdy construction.
