It likely features a matte gold finish with black accents and decals, giving the motorcycle a distinct and stylish appearance. The matte finish adds a touch of sophistication and modernity to the design.

Splendor Plus Self Start Drum Brake i3S Matt Shield Gold

The Splendor Plus Self Start Drum Brake i3S Matt Shield Gold offers a premium motorcycling experience at a more attainable price point. Does it tick all the right boxes?

How’s the design?

The latest version of the Splendor Plus Self Start Drum Brake i3S Matt Shield Gold comes with a redesigned front fascia with a more contemporary headlamp cluster and LED lighting. There is a daytime running light (DRL) too for the bike while there are four-point adjustable levers, brakes and clutch. There is a new paint theme while the tail lights also get LEDs along with the turn indicators. The exhaust is quite similar to the one seen in the TVS Apache RR310. The bike looks and feels bigger than it actually is.

How is the performance?

The Splendor Plus Self Start Drum Brake i3S Matt Shield Gold has a 313 cc DOHC liquid cooled engine that makes 34 hp and 28 Nm of maximum torque. The engine is also paired to a 6-speed transmission system along with a slipper clutch. There is automatic idle boost for the engine and it sounds a little off-key at the beginning.
