Tug-of-war is a good way of checking the low-end power of the bike. How will a 200cc bike perform in the tug-of-war against two 125cc commuter bikes? Here is a video showing just that. What is happening here? The video first shows the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 gong against the Hero Splendor Plus in the video. As expected, the Pulsar RS200 easily pulls the Splendor Plus and wins the battle without any problem. To make things difficult for the Pulsar, a Honda CB Shine joins the tug-of-war to help the Hero Splendor. The Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 is pulled by two commuter segment 125cc bikes and even after two attempts, the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 could not overpower the duo. Later, the Pulsar RS 200 gets some extra weight and a pillion sits on the bike for extra traction but even that does not help and both the commuter segment bikes from Hero and Honda successfully brings Pulsar RS 200 to this side of the line.

The Hero Splendor is India’s largest selling motorcycle. India’s favorite commuter bike is known for its fuel efficiency and tried and tested engine. Here is a video of the Splendor that shows it doing something unseen and unexpected. What is happening here? The video shows a Hero Splendor doing a burnout with rear wheel on fire! Yes, the video shows the Splendor resting against a flyover and doing a burn out. More than often, we see smoke coming out of burnouts but in this case, the rear tyre is engulfed in fire and has formed a halo around the rubber. The Splendor is rarely seen indulging in such situations where smoking tyres or riding on one wheel is involved. This is something that has been seen for the time. The rear wheel become extremely hot due to high friction against the road and starts to emit thick white smoke that smells like tyre burn. The tyre catching fire on its own is extremely rare as it needs to be at very high temperature. Many people spray oil and … [Read more...] about Forget burnouts, this Hero Splendor literally BURNS tyres
