So when the next generation of the Splendor was being launched a lot was riding on its back. Hero took the aid of technology to meet these expectations and equipped it with a start-stop technology. The smart-technology on the Hero Splendor iSmart is a simple yet effective way of increasing fuel efficiency. Once you engage neutral while stopping at a red signal, the engine shuts off automatically after 5 seconds. Instead of restarting the motor, the rider has to depress the clutch lever as he would do normally shift the gear and the powerplant jumps back to life. Instead of hiking the fuel efficiency of the 97.2cc engine, Hero engineers concentrated on reducing the wastage of fuel and this has resulted in the bike returning a claimed 102.5kmpl. Hero claims the Splendor iSmart is the most fuel efficient bike in the world.
