While there are many bikes in India to perform stunts, Hero Splendor is certainly not one typically chosen for doing daredevil acts.
However, a recent viral video seems to have proven the notion wrong as a youth jumped his Splendor over five bikes in a daredevil stunt.
The video has been shared by Mustu Rider on their Instagram page. Five motorcycles were positioned atop what appears to be a location with several sand dunes. The biker on the Splendor approaches the slope at high speed. Due to Splendor’s lightweight body, achieving liftoff takes minimal time. The rider seems highly proficient, indicating extensive experience in executing this manoeuvre.
Upon jumping, the motorcycle becomes airborne, soaring to a considerable height before touching down on the opposite side of the dune. Notably, the rider jumped off all the parked motorcycles flawlessly and landed the motorcycle on its wheels, albeit with some damage to the bike’s tail lamps.
While the rider executes the stunt with finesse, improvements are needed in refining the landing technique. Additionally, practicing this stunt with proper safety gear is imperative for the rider’s well-being. The choice of motorcycle for this stunt is also concerning. Using a stock Splendor for such extreme stunts exposes the bike to significant strain. Potential repercussions include damage to wheels, frames, panels, and suspension components.
