The Hero Xpulse has won the hearts of many adventure lovers. It’s known for being the most affordable dual-purpose bike out there. Spy shots from cold weather tests show Hero is working on the next Xpulse. The camouflaged bike might have a 210 cc engine, just like the Karizma XMR.
In late 2023, the first spy images of the Hero Xpulse 210 came out. They hinted at big updates. Although the bigger Xpulse 420 faced delays, the new Xpulse 210 is moving forward. It might debut soon, with a new engine that could make long rides better.
The Karizma XMR has a 210 cc engine that’s liquid-cooled and fuel-injected. It makes about 25 bhp and 20.4 Nm of torque. If Hero uses this engine in the new Xpulse, it would be a big upgrade. It would give the bike 6.1 bhp and 3.1 Nm more power than the current engine.
The Karizma XMR also has a six-speed gearbox. This would make the Xpulse even better for long trips. The latest spy shots show the bike’s design, like a front beak fender and a new LED headlamp. It also has a tall windscreen and adventure bike features.
The test mules have accessories like a black pannier box and luggage carrier. They also have a suspension system with telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock. The bike will have dual-channel ABS and disc brakes for safety. It will also have a bigger fuel tank and updated tank extensions for long rides.
With these updates, the new Hero Xpulse is set to be a top-notch adventure bike. It will be more capable and powerful, making it a strong choice for adventure touring.
