Hero Honda Splendour, one of the most successful models of Indian Automobile Industry. One can shortlist four different models in this category.1. LML freedom
- Bajaj Caliber 115 3. TVS Victor 4. Hero Honda Splendour
Bajaj Calliber had a powerful engine as compared to hero honda splendour but it really lacked on the average front as well as the suspension was not proper. The fuel tank of both the bikes was about same. Hero honda splendour has an innocuos looking dial. It's battery is very strong compared to other bikes in it's segment. The oil change is required every 2000 kms, where as it is 1500 kms for other bikes.
LML Freedom seems to have good colors but then the performance on highways is not commendable.
On the mileage front, the bike does win the race with an average of 70-75 with pilliion and rider on highways where as 68 kmpl was the average in the city with only rider.
The power of the engine is 97 CC which is more than enough for a city ride. The sleek bike is also useful in heavy city traffic with its good and powerful steering.
The bike is though a little high and heavy.
The bike has a reserve cock as well as the fuel indicator, the combination of which is found in very less bikes and it would save you from pushing your bike midways as even if one of them is faulty, the other will always do it's work.
Also it's rough and tough and in normal riding conditions does not require any maintenance what so ever except regular servicing.
The light are very powerful but the dippers are not great.
It is a good deal. go get it!
