Engine Performance and Power Specifications
Enhanced 97.2cc Engine Technology
The Hero Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0’s heart beats with a refined 97.2cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that represents years of engineering evolution. This powerplant features advanced metallurgy and precision machining that delivers exceptional durability while maintaining the legendary reliability Hero motorcycles are known for. The engine block incorporates improved cooling fins and optimized combustion chamber geometry, resulting in better heat dissipation and more efficient power delivery.
New piston design with reduced friction rings minimizes internal resistance, while the upgraded connecting rod assembly ensures smoother operation across all RPM ranges. The engine’s compression ratio has been fine-tuned to extract maximum performance from regular petrol, making it accessible for everyday riders without requiring premium fuel.
Improved Fuel Efficiency Ratings
Real-world testing reveals the 2025 model achieves an impressive fuel economy of 70-75 kmpl under standard riding conditions. This represents a significant improvement over previous generations, thanks to several key innovations. The updated carburetor mapping provides precise fuel delivery, while the refined intake system optimizes air-fuel mixture for complete combustion.
| Riding Condition | Fuel Efficiency |
|---|---|
| City Traffic | 65-70 kmpl |
| Highway Cruising | 75-80 kmpl |
| Combined Average | 70-75 kmpl |
The engine’s improved thermal efficiency means less fuel waste through heat loss, directly translating to more kilometers per liter. Smart fuel injection calibration adapts to different throttle positions, ensuring optimal efficiency whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising on highways.
