The c

 Styling bike though looked a little better. Splendor
comes in about colors and varying stripe combinations. The wheels are -spoked
aluminium alloy type, and spoke as well. The headlight is big and stylish trapezoidal
multireflector type that gives bright light at low speeds as well, because of powerful
battery and this gives the direct current high beam that is not dependent on the rpm of
the engine.

The taillight is big and improved by looks as compared to old splendor.

Although, 

 looks much similar to its base version, the improved side
decals, rear and front cowl and new sleek instrument panel with a trip meter and the fuel tank (capacity of
about 10.3 liters) that has a knee grip mold and new and improved visor give the bike more stylish looks. New
fairing and visor combo, Powerful & stylish trapezoidal mutlireflector headlight. New design fuel tank with knee
grip, new body panels and sleek body graphics, large & stylish tail light, attractive aluminum die cast rear grip,
chrome fuel tank lid, five-spoked aluminium-alloy wheels in the top-end variant of the NXG. It features
trapezoidal multi -reflector headlamps which is powerful even at low speeds.

This is achieved by powerful battery which powers the DC high beam in the headlamp and its strength is not
dependent on the engine rpm. Circuitry for the low beam and pilot lamp has also been enhanced for low
variation in intensity arising from changes in the engine rpm. The bike gives comfort upright and comfortable
riding posture. The easy riding can be enjoyed by both for the rider and those on the pillion. Telescopic fork type
hydraulic front suspension.




The company claimed that the
 new engine of 97.2cc. Better power & torque at
lower engine RPM for comfortable city riding, that is marginally improved over the
Splendor Plus. The motor looks like it⽌s the same one as that in the CD Dawn
version. The bike does sound nice and does not noise out too much as well even on a
long drive. The low end torque of the engine to give a no-noise drive even at 20 kmph
in the fourth gear; and guess that sets Hero Honda apart from other bike manufacturers.

The Splendor NXG has a smooth gearshift complying with the industry standards. The bike has internal expanding
shoe type brakes and kick start options. The maximum achievable speed is about 90 kmph and the mileage is
about 77 for city and highway combined. Optimum gear ratios for better pickup, mutlireflector headlight that
provides better visibility even at lower speeds. The fuel switch is easier to operate than usual switches with thin
levers.

The overall height, length and width of c
c 


 are 109 mm, 198 mm, 720mm respectively. It
has a wheel base of 1230mm and kerb weight is 107kgs. It has a ground clearance of 1x0mm. c
c
 

 comes with aircooled single cylinder Πstroke OHC engine with displacement of 97.2 CC. The
engine has a support for single cylinder. Splendor NXG develops .x7K’ of peak power at 7 00 rpm and
generates a torque of 7.7Nm@x000rpm. The electrical specification of the bike is 12 volts. The Hero Honda
Splendor NXG is started by kick start. It has Œ-speed constant mesh type transmission. The front suspensions
in c
c 

 include telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and the rear suspension includes
swing arm with hydraulic shock absorbers.

The
 takes only 8.x seconds to 0-x0kmph acceleration. ’hereas 0-Œ00m acceleration is achieved in 22.9
seconds. The stylish bike's top speed is 90.1kmph. Braking x0 kmph (meters) 23. .

 


The c
c 

 scores just as high as any of its rivals. Tackling the stop-
and-go riding nature of crowded city traffic, including idling at traffic lights, the
machine delivered 77 kilo metres per litre - so any worse than this will be close to
impossible in regular use. On open highways, the mileage went up considerably. The
maximum capacity of fuel tank is 10.3 litres and 1.8 litres reserve.
¦ 
The next generation  
is available now in six different colour options. The
available colours are: black with purple stripes, black with red stripes, candy blazing
red, force silver metallic, vibrant blue and black with silver stripes. The body shade
with sharp graphics is painted at
front mudguard, petrol tank,
rear and side panels. Black
shade is used on rear view mirrors and grab rail. ' &

The braking system is conventional in the new  

 and its disappoint a lot. The company claims the
bike to be the youth targeted with latest features but dashboard and brakes remains the same as basic model of
Splendor. You should not expect super braking from those standard brakes. But yes




To our surprise, c
c used the same suspensions which are there in Hero Honda Splendor Plus and Super
Splendor. On the other hand, Bajaj Discover uses more advanced suspensions at rear. The front fork of the c

c 

 is telescopic hydraulic and rear fork is adjustable with swing arm. However, the forks are
well proved in the basic model of Splendor.

The c
c 

 has similar type of wheels and tyres that are featured in
older versions of the model family. The front one is 2.7 X18-Œ PR/Œ2 P and rear one is
2.7 X18-x PR/Œ8 P. The tyres are made of less rubber and create problem when one go
for higher speed. The bike is available is both multi-spoke and alloy wheels options.

The wheelbase of the  

 is 123 mm which is a little wider than Splendor
Plus. But more than this was expected from Hero Honda in the bike. The wheelbase
plays main part in stability and grip on road for the bike. That results in better control
over bike.

The engineers of Hero Honda managed to give it a sporty look and ultimate comfort
level. The seating position is excellent. The tank is carved in such a way that rider's
knee can be positioned in a comfortable way. Due to its sleek fuel tank, rider feels
relaxed even on long drive. The new  

 comes with self start which is most-
desirable feature now. Since a long time, the self start option was felt badly in the
bike. Suspensions of the bike also add to the comfort of the passenger. Dashboard is
provided in a new shape and common meters but gives enough information to the rider
about fuel consumption and speed.

It has a stunning looks, economic performance.

A number of techniques are missing like no Tachometer, Electric Start no digital speedometer, Odometer etc.
