The Hero XPulse 200 will draw power from a 200cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine producing 18bhp and 17Nm of torque. The engine will be mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The same engine will be employed on the soon to be launched Xtreme 200R. But the engine on the XPulse 200 will be tuned differently.

The Hero XPulse 200 will feature disc brakes at both the ends but will get only single-channel ABS. The XPulse 200 will get spoke wheels and it is expected to use tube tyres to keep the costs down. The bike will also get an all-new digital instrument cluster and an engine kill switch.

Thoughts On The Hero XPulse 200

The 150cc Hero Impulse was a hit in the Indian market, but due to its underpowered engine, the sales of the motorcycle dropped drastically. But now, Hero has fixed this issue and will launch the XPulse 200 by the end of this year. The Hero XPulse 200 is likely to be priced around Rs 1 lakh ex-showroom (Delhi).
