Hero Splendor Plus costs रु 40,000 less ex-showroom.
Commanding a slight premium for the i3S start-stop tech, this variant is ideal for riders facing heavy 'stop-and-go' traffic in Kathmandu. The BS6 FI variant is the modern standard for commuters, offering better cold starts and efficiency than older carb models. It is the best choice for office goers and delivery riders in Nepal's cities.
This variant is not officially marketed separately in Nepal; buyers should refer to the standard Apache RTR 180.
