Hero recently launched the Super Splendor in a new variant called Canvas Black. So here we tell you everything you need to know about the new commuter motorcycle before heading to the nearest showroom and checking it out.

Pricing and variants

First, let’s tick pricing off the list. Hero Motorcorp is offering the Super Splendor Canvas Black in two options- Drum and Disc and both come with varying prices. The Drum version costs Rs 77,430 while the Disc version will set you back by Rs 81,330, ex-showroom. Bookings for both can be done online as well on the Hero Motocorp eShop.

Styling

Hero has adorned this variant of the Super Splendor with some cosmetic differences. To begin with, it features an all-black paint scheme to go with its Canvas Black Edition name. Then you also get chrome ‘Super Splendor’ badging on the fuel tank, headlamp and exhaust shield. The rest of the motorcycle remains the same as the standard Super Splendor in terms of design and bodywork.

Hardware

Coming to the motorcycle’s suspension and braking hardware. It uses telescopic forks up front and a five-step adjustable pair of springs at the rear. Meanwhile, you have an option when it comes to braking hardware. You can either choose the 130mm drum brakes that are fitted as standard on both ends or go for the 240mm disc at the front. But regardless of the version you choose, the Super Splendor is equipped with combined braking system as standard.
