As mentioned by satish splendor can take a lot of abuse and very well pull almost anywhere. although larger capacity bike can pull at higher speed but splendor can also climb although it will struggle. I can testify that as i own a hero honda joy(remember it) which is basically same as splendor only with a slightly higher torque rating as a result she comes with 42 size rear sprocket by default. i have toured extensively on it and presently she is at 2,10,000 km(yes! 2.1 lacs km ) and still also she returns 78 km pl. i have many a times toured non stop for more than 300 k ms at a speed of 70-75 kph and still she didn't show any signs of discomfort.So a splendor can take a lot of abuse.my joy is going to be 10 years still also it is stock and its original paint still shining like the day she was delivered.
