Hero MotoCorp Super Splendor Xtec 2.0 mileage and running cost
Claimed mileage 75 kmpl, real-world 56–62 kmpl. What it costs per km, per month and over five years.
Claimed vs real mileage
Super Splendor Xtec 2.0's claimed mileage is 75 kmpl. Owners and our own riding put the real figure between 56 and 62 kmpl, roughly 21% under the brochure number, which is typical once traffic, a pillion and short trips are factored in.
Among the 67 sports bikes we have reviewed it ranks 2nd for mileage, 33 kmpl above the group average of 42 kmpl.
At Delhi's petrol price of ₹94.80 a litre and a real-world 59 kmpl, the Super Splendor Xtec 2.0 costs about ₹1.61 per km in fuel. Ride 30 km a day and that is roughly ₹1,253 a month, or ₹15,039 a year, before servicing.
The 12-litre tank gives a realistic range of about 708 km, so a 30 km commute means a fill-up every 3 weeks.
Why the gap exists: claimed vs real-world mileage.

Spread over five years and 46,800 km, the Super Splendor Xtec 2.0 works out to about ₹4.5 per km all-in, of which 36% is fuel and 47% is the purchase price itself. Resale value is not counted; expect roughly 50–60% of ex-showroom after five years for a well-kept example.
Getting the best mileage
The quickest wins for the Super Splendor Xtec 2.0: keep tyres at the recommended pressure (under-inflation by 5 psi can cost 2–3 kmpl), shift up early and avoid idling at long signals, which the idle start-stop system handles for you.
Short trips hurt most. A cold engine on a 2 km run can return half its normal mileage; if that is your use, expect the low end of the real-world band.
Service on time. A clogged air filter or old spark plug shows up in mileage before it shows up anywhere else.
