Hero Super Splendor iSmart 125cc Design
The Hero Super Splendor isn’t very different from the regular Splendor. Yes it is a bit bigger and has some differences. For instance, the Super Splendor comes with black alloy wheels and there is no option of spokes on the motorbike. The fairing makes it look more stylish and attractive. It goes without saying, the new Super Splendor iSmart does look more premium than the regular Splendor.
As this will come with the i3S technology, it will flaunt the iSmart badge. The Splendor 110 has been going a great job as buyers are loving this new bike. At the same time, Hero has been working on making this a good looking bike. As this bike will target commuter biking, the scope for experimenting was limited. So, the new Super Splendor retains a lot of similarity to the currently sold Super Splendor.
