Ultimate Spec Comparison Between Hero Super Splendor Xtec & TVS Raider Smart Xonnect

Hero MotoCorp recently came out with its upgraded and feature-rich variant of the Super Splendor with Xtec technology. It is now packed with more features than ever before and directly competes with the TVS Raider SmartXonnect. So, we are pitting them against each other to see which offers more!

Hero Super Splendor Xtec VS TVS Raider SmartXonnect: Design

The Hero Super Splendor Xtec boasts a commuter build and features an LED headlight along with an LED DRL in between. In addition, the bike gets a rather simple appeal with a single-piece seat, a simple fuel tank design and minimal chrome hints. 

Contrary to the TVS Raider SmartXonnect, which features a more aggressive and futuristic look whose credits go to its unique headlight. However, it comes with the same LED DRL as the Super Splendor Xtec. In addition, it features a split-seat design and a fuel tank with creasing and chrome elements that are fewer than the Super Splendor Xtec.

Hero Super Splendor Xtec VS TVS Raider SmartXonnect: Engine

Super Splendor Xtec is powered by a 124.7cc single-cylinder engine that belts out 10.72bhp and 10.6Nm, which is tuned to a 5-speed gearbox. TVS Raider, on the other hand, is powered by a 124.8cc engine that churns out 11.2bhp and 11.2Nm, which is tuned to a 5-speed gearbox. And looking at the numbers, it won’t be surprising for TVS Raider to be much quicker than the Super Splendor Xtec.
