For the 2023 version, Hero MotoCorp made two different versions of the bike, a Standard and a Pro. Last year they launched a Rally version, but this year it’s been renamed the Pro model. The Pro model is special because it has adjustable suspension on both ends and other parts like a higher seat, handlebar risers, an extended gear lever for off-road boots, and a longer side stand to make parking easier.
The XPulse is powered by a 200cc engine that can use fuel blended with up to 20% ethanol. This type of engine keeps the air cooler when the bike is running. Also, Hero MotoCorp made the XPulse follow OBD-2 rules, which are the newest pollution control rules in India.
The biggest update to the XPulse is three ABS modes. ABS is a system that helps you control the bike when you brake hard. The three modes are road, off-road, and rally. In road mode, ABS is always on, while off-road mode makes ABS less intense. Rally mode lets you have lots of fun with skids and stoppies by turning ABS off completely.
Another cool update is a new LED headlight on the front of the bike. Hero says it’s 230% brighter than the old model’s headlight, making it great for lighting up the road ahead, especially when it gets dark. They also added a fly screen on top of the headlight, giving the bike a more adventurous look.
The Hero XPulse 200 4V will be in stores soon. You can get it in Matte Nexus Blue, Techno Blue, Black Sports Red, and the Rally Edition graphics. The Standard model costs Rs 144,000, while the Pro version is a bit more expensive at Rs 151,000.
