About the Hero Splendor iSmart

Overview

The Hero Splendor iSmart is a commuter motorcycle from Hero MotoCorp. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Commuter bikes are built for everyday riding: economical, easy to handle and inexpensive to run and maintain. With a 97.2 cc engine it sits in the entry-level 100–110 cc commuter class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 97.2 cc single-cylinder air-cooled carburetted engine that makes 8.24 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 5,000 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 76 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 87 km/h. It has both electric and kick start.

Gearbox

It has a 4-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a tubular double cradle frame. Suspension is by telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers at the front and swing arm with adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear. Braking is by a 130 mm drum at the front and a 110 mm drum at the rear. It rides on 18-inch spoke wheels with tubeless tyres — 80/100 - 18 47P at the front and 80/100 - 18 54P at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 785 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 110 kg ready to ride, light enough to push around and park easily. Ground clearance is 160 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 1,965 mm long, with 1,235 mm between the axles. Its 8.7 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 92 Kmpl work out to roughly 800 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes an analogue instrument console and a halogen headlamp. Safety equipment includes side-stand warning.

Owning one

The manufacturer's warranty is 5 years or 40,000 km. For the Hero Splendor iSmart, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹899 doorstep service.

Who it suits

It is best suited to daily commuting and riders who put running costs first. Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders. Its gentle performance makes it a forgiving choice for a first bike.

Care notes for this model

Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment. Being carburetted, it benefits from an occasional carburettor clean, especially if it has stood unused.

Maintaining the Hero Splendor iSmart

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Drum, 130 mm and Drum, 110 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 80/100 - 18 47P / 80/100 - 18 54P tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as Lead Acid. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Hero Splendor iSmart specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

OHC / SOHC / DOHC
How the engine's valves are operated. OHC and SOHC mean one overhead camshaft; DOHC means two, which usually allows higher revs and more power from the same size.
Air cooling
The engine is cooled by air flowing over its fins. It is simpler and needs no coolant, which keeps upkeep straightforward.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
