Hero HF 100: Mileage, Price, Colours, Engine & Specifications

The Hero HF 100 is slightly less high-end than the Splendor Plus but shares the same architecture and drivetrain, which results in lower costs. But given that the Splendor costs significantly more than the HF Deluxe, is it worthwhile to get it instead?

The same engine and transmission are available on each of these motorcycles:

• A 97.2cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine combined with a 4-speed sequential gearbox.
• The engine can produce a maximum of 8.02 PS and a maximum torque of 8.05 Nm.
• Both motorcycles come equipped with fuel injection and a kick starter as standard in the BS6 era.
• Additionally, the most advanced versions include a self-start feature.

The Hero Splendor Plus includes a modest amount of standard equipment, including alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, analogue speedometer and odometer, kick start, and drum brakes (with the integrated braking system, or IBS). You also get self-start and i3S start/stop technology with higher trims (for better fuel economy). LED lights are not available

With the addition of spoked wheels and even thinner tyres, the base model of the Hero HF 100 delivers the same characteristics as the Splendor Plus’ lowest grade. The front and rear tyres on the former are 2.75 inches, while the front and rear tyres on the latter are 80/100. Only the 18-inch wheels are fitted to both machines.

Three variations of the Hero Splendor Plus include:
