Grip, Balance, and Braking: Why the Super Splendor XTEC’s Wider Rear Tyre Matters on Indian Roads

In India, every ride is different. One day you're gliding through city lanes, the next you're navigating sandy village roads or dodging potholes after a sudden downpour. That's exactly why we designed our Super Splendor XTEC to handle it all, with more grip, better balance, and braking that keeps you in control.

This is a bike which is used by everyday commuters, family riders, and working professionals who expect more than just mileage. And one of the key features helping it rise to that expectation? The wider rear tyre.

Let's show you why this detail makes a big difference on Indian roads and how the Super Splendor XTEC turns it into an everyday advantage, ensuring a smoother ride and fewer worries about Super Splendor XTEC common problems and solutions.

Stability Starts from the Ground Up

When it comes to balance, the base of the bike matters just as much as the engine or brakes. That’s why we gave the Super Splendor XTEC a wider 90/90-18 tubeless rear tyre and 80/100-18 tubeless tyre at the front. This not only improves road contact, but also enhances grip while cornering and boosts rider confidence in both wet and dry conditions.

Add to that a well-calibrated 1267 mm wheelbase, and you get a bike that feels planted, whether you're overtaking traffic or cruising on the highway. The result? A ride that’s not just smoother, but safer.

Better Braking Where It Counts

Grip and braking go hand in hand, especially on unpredictable roads. The wider rear tyre ensures better traction during braking, while the front offers two options, 240 mm disc or 130 mm drum, depending on the variant. The rear brake setup is a reliable 130 mm drum, fine-tuned to offer strong yet progressive stops.

Whether you’re slowing down at a signal or reacting quickly to an obstacle, the combined setup brings confidence to every brake lever press. It’s one of the lesser-known advantages that make this commuter feel more premium.

Smooth Suspension, Comfortable Rides

Tyre grip is only part of the equation. For Indian road conditions, we made sure the Super Splendor XTEC delivers on comfort too. The telescopic hydraulic front suspension absorbs shocks without transferring them to your arms, while the 5-step adjustable rear suspension ensures pillion riders feel just as comfortable.

Together with the tyre setup, this suspension geometry enhances overall balance and helps the bike stay composed even when the road doesn’t cooperate.

Keeping Your Tyres in Top Shape

Wider tyres offer more grip, but they also need the right care. That’s why we always advise riders to follow a regular Super Splendor XTEC tyre care guide, which includes:

• Checking tyre pressure every week for optimal grip and mileage
• Avoiding sudden, sharp braking that causes uneven wear
• Cleaning tyres after riding on muddy or debris-filled roads
• Rotating tyre positions if required (as guided during service intervals)

For those concerned about durability, our tubeless setup reduces the chances of sudden punctures, keeping you safer on the road and reducing unexpected downtime.

Smart Riding Meets Smart Features

We believe grip and safety are as important as tech and connectivity. That’s why the Super Splendor XTEC comes packed with modern touches, including a bold digital console that gives riders essential information at a glance.
Some of the Super Splendor XTEC digital console features include:

• Real-time mileage display
• Side-stand engine cut-off indicator
• Bluetooth connectivity

These features make everyday riding more intuitive and informed, helping you stay in control, on and off the road.

Engineered for Economy and Ease

Now let’s talk Super Splendor XTEC mileage in city and highway, because we know it's always top of mind. Under ideal conditions, this bike delivers an impressive 69 km/l, thanks in part to our i3S technology that turns off the engine during idling and restarts it with a twist of the throttle. Paired with AutoSail technology, low-speed riding becomes smoother, especially in congested traffic.

Looking for Super Splendor XTEC fuel efficiency tips? Here are a few to keep your ride economical:

• Maintain steady speeds and avoid unnecessary revving
• Keep your tyre pressure within recommended limits
• Use the i3S feature in stop-go traffic to reduce idle fuel burn
• Service the engine regularly for optimal combustion performance

Whether you're on city errands or longer stretches, this bike makes every drop of fuel count.
