Hero Splendor Plus Flex Fuel Overview

Built on the same 97.2cc platform as the standard Splendor Plus, the Flex Fuel variant gets upgraded fuel system hardware and a recalibrated ECU to handle ethanol blends up to E85. Power rises to 8.57 PS and 8.3 Nm in E85 trim. The semi-digital instrument cluster replaces the fully analogue unit on the regular bike.

Chassis, suspension, brakes, and the 9.8-litre tank remain unchanged. It goes on sale July 2026, starting with Delhi and select Maharashtra markets.

Engine, Performance and Mileage

The Splendor Plus Flex Fuel uses the same 97.2cc single-cylinder engine with revised ECU and upgraded fuel system hardware for E85 compatibility. 

On E85, output is 8.57 PS and 8.3 Nm, which is 0.55 PS and 0.25 Nm ahead of the standard Splendor Plus. Both figures are essentially identical to the HF Deluxe Flex Fuel since it's the same engine in both applications. 

The performance gain on paper is modest, but the engine tune on E85 allows for more ignition advance which translates into a crisper, more eager pull from idle. 

For a 100cc engine doing daily commuter duty, the practical effect is a slightly more relaxed throttle hand needed to maintain pace, which can compound fuel savings if you're not compensating by riding harder. The 4-speed gearbox and chassis geometry remain unchanged from the standard model.

The standard Splendor Plus is ARAI rated at 70 kmpl. Hero has not yet released separate mileage certification for the flex fuel variant. 

safety

Drum brakes front and rear, same as the standard Splendor Plus, with IBS on the rear. Side-stand cut-off, engine cut-off at fall, and hazard lights are standard. No disc option on this variant.

pricing and features

The Splendor Plus Flex Fuel gets the same semi-digital instrument cluster upgrade as the HF Deluxe Flex Fuel, trading the analogue fuel gauge out for a digital readout. The rest of the feature set matches the standard top-end Splendor Plus: i3S idle start-stop system, side-stand engine cut-off, engine cut-off at fall, and USB charging. 

The Splendor Plus already had a slightly more premium feel than the HF Deluxe in its standard form, with a 9.8-litre tank versus the HF Deluxe's 9.6 litres, and that carries over here.

Hero Splendor Plus Flex Fuel FAQs

Mechanically: revised ECU, new fuel pump, and secondary fuel filter, the same upgrades as the HF Deluxe Flex Fuel. On E85 the 97.2cc engine makes 8.57 PS and 8.3 Nm versus 8.02 PS and 8.05 Nm on the standard bike. The instrument cluster upgrades to semi-digital with a digital fuel gauge, compared to the all-analogue setup on the regular Splendor Plus. Visually: exclusive black and lime yellow paint with Flex Fuel badging, single colour option at launch. Everything else, frame, suspension, brakes, tank capacity (9.8 litres), and features, stays the same.
No, provided you're on the Flex Fuel variant. Hero has upgraded the fuel system components specifically to be ethanol-compatible, including fuel lines, seals, fuel pump, and filtration. The ECU handles any blend from E20 to E85 automatically, no switch or adjustment needed from the rider. Using E85 in the standard Splendor Plus, which is only E20-rated, would damage seals and fuel system parts over time and would void the warranty.
Same as all Hero motorcycles: 5 years or 70,000 km, whichever is earlier, from date of purchase. Hero's warranty exclusions note that damage from fuel not recommended by Hero is not covered, so stay within E20-to-E85 for the Flex Fuel variant. Do not use pure E0 petrol (non-blended) or blends above E85.
July 2026, starting with Delhi and select regions of Maharashtra. Nationwide rollout to follow.
Hero's standard paid service interval of every 3,000 km or 90 days applies here as well. There is no separately announced, more frequent schedule for the Flex Fuel variant. The practical difference is in how you store and use the bike. Ethanol blends, especially E85, absorb moisture from air more readily than petrol. If you park the bike for weeks at a stretch with an E85 fill, the fuel system can accumulate moisture. Running the engine periodically, which Hero already recommends for any bike in storage, is more important here. The added secondary fuel filter on the Flex Fuel handles the higher filtration load from ethanol, but filter element replacement at service intervals becomes more relevant to watch.
The Splendor Plus Flex Fuel costs ₹2,479 more than the top-end regular variant, not the ₹172 difference seen on the HF Deluxe. That gap is still small in absolute terms but more meaningful here. If E85 is accessible near you, the Flex Fuel pays back through lower running costs per km given ethanol's lower pump price, and you also get the semi-digital cluster. If E85 is not yet available in your area, you're paying ₹2,479 for future optionality and a digital fuel gauge, which may or may not justify the spend depending on how patient you are. Riders in Delhi or Maharashtra who can already access E85 pumps get the clearest case for the Flex Fuel.
Yes. Hero has not announced any discontinuation of the standard Splendor Plus. Both the existing E20-compliant lineup and the new Flex Fuel variant are expected to run in parallel. The Splendor Plus is Hero's highest-selling model globally; there's no reason to expect it to exit the market.
