Hero MotoCorp has updated two of its most popular commuter motorcycles – the Super Splendor XTEC, and the Glamour. The Super Splendor XTEC and Glamour now feature powertrains that comply with the OBD2B emission norms. While both motorcycles feature their classic design and vital underpinnings, these updates ensure that both comply with stricter emission regulations while still offering value-for-money performance for city riders.
The company had also upgraded the Hero Splendor Plus and the Hero Passion Plus with OBD2B compliant engines earlier this month. Just like the Super Splendor XTEC and Glamour, the Splendor Plus and the Passion Plus maintained their fundamental design and hardware in the upgrade.
Hero Super Splendor XTEC and Glamour: Engine and Performance
Both the Hero Super Splendor XTEC and the Glamour use a 124.7cc, air cooled, single cylinder engine as their power source. Performance figures remain largely similar, and the engines have been altered to meet the new OBD2B norms that are in line with newer emissions regulations.
