New Hero Super Splendor 2018 Launched. Price – Rs 57,000 (Expected)
World’s largest automaker, Hero MotoCorp has just launched the new Hero Super Splendor 2018 model with iSmart technology. The new version of the company’s popular 125cc commuter features a new design, fresh graphics amongst other changes. It may be noted here that the commuter segment has been the most profitable section of the market for Hero MotoCorp so far. Hence, for now, the company is focussed on coming up with new commuter bikes rather than launching premium motorcycles. It has even come to light that the company has decided to drop all plans of launching the Hero HX250R.
