Splendour Pro Classic - the new variant of its magnum opus ‘Splendour’ from Hero Motocorps - is becoming popular with its vintage look. The single-seater motorcycle is getting a good response from youngsters. The main attraction of the new model, launched in last November, is its structure. The two-wheeler, which resembles Royal Enfield’s Continetal model, has an ex-showroom price of Rs 51,200.
The very first vintage version from the Indian automaker has a cafe racer styling with single seat offers. Instead of the pillion seat there is a vintage style cafe cowl. Another attractive feature is the classic speedometer, which too gives a classic look. The vintage style graphics and classic chrome finish are the add-on features of the new model.

The other attractive elements are sporty handle bar, classic round headlight and round tall lights along with maintenance-free battery. The maximum playload weight of the vehicle is 130 kg, while the kerb weight is 109 kg. When we look at the dimensions of the vehicle, the length is 1935 mm, the width is 720 mm. The height is fixed as 1230 mm. As the ground clearance is 180 mm, the classic will be a good option for ride to hilly roots.
