      Last time I had a very bad experience with the Bajaj pulsar rs 200 on Kathmandu trip. I almost crushed the bike from the lower side and then I came to know the difference between a racing bike and an adventure riding bike. My friend has a RE Himalayan but he suggested hero xpulse for myself. I drove Himalayan many times and got satisfied with the performance but never tried the xpulse ever, that's why I was a little bit confused. Finally, after so many test drives I bought a hero xpulse 200 4v.
      The design looks stylish and born for off-road. It's not a cruiser either but if you are not a speedster you won't regret it. It feels very smooth at the speed of 90 kmph on highways. Suspensions, seat and sitting position are comfortable. Brakes do fine. Compared with re Himalayan it has 20 percent lesser power and 45 percent lesser torque but power to weight ratios of both the bikes reach closer due to 20 percent lesser weight of xpulse. In real life when i go off road don't feel much difference between the two. 10 kmpl of extra mileage and 1 lac lesser price of hero xpulse 200 4v seems to be economic and budget-friendly.
      Pros.
      1- it is sturdier than other motorbikes of this price range.
      2- it feels powerful and torque is enough for mountainous or rocky terrains.
      3- upward exhaust is capable of going underwater deeper than re himalayan.
      4- fully digital meter with navigation and charging point.
      5- light weight of the bike provides a better and more effortless handling.
      6- one of the cheapest adventure riding motorbikes.
      7- spares and servicing costs are also cheaper than re.
      8- availability of spares and services is not a problem.
      Cons.
      1- top speed is not as good as re himalayan.
      2- it's felt lack of torque at low rpm.
      3- compared with re himalayan the handle bar is not so comfortable for riding the bike in a standing position.

      Very bad experience to buy this bike bcoz there is no good response from all staff of hero moto corp. Customer care service, and dealership services are very very poor. They only sell bikes after that If you face any problem with the bike no one will help you. Customer care never knows where is dealership is and who official of hero moto is working in that district from hero moto.
      So I really disappointed with the service of the total hero moto corp. Don't buy it bcoz it works like govt. Sector.

    • An eye-candy that does all stuff while being pocket friendly. The hero xpulse 200 4v.

      4 years ago


      Adarsh M S

      Someone who's totally into sports tourers and power cruisers has chosen an off-roader to be his ride mate.
      I just got my xpulse 200 4v registered and delivered to me on my my birthday. I badly wanted this birthday to be damn special.
      Just like any common enthusiast I totally spent hours on youtube and forums like bikewale to see if xpulse would make me regret and all the doubts got kicked on its bottom when I twisted the throttle today.
      The initial pull is impressive! I got admit that, I have ridden my fazer 2012 - midnight special for about 15,000 kms and was looking for an upgrade over 250cc. I happened to choose the xpulse totally because of its practicality and price point. I didn't get disappointed with my first rev on this bike, brakes are adequate, power bank is enough for the city and occasional tours. I got say it out loud, everyone of us enter the bike hunt with things in mind like we're gonna hit ladakh in a week and race the laguna seca/ nürburgring in the next. But 99.9% of us ride the city and roads filled with gutters. For that I consider hero xpulse 200 4v to be a gem, although the seats are on the shorter side, it may take a toll on your rear if you're full figured like I am.
      The lights are claimed to be puny and useless, but surprisingly it is wonderful and more than adequate to me in the streets with no lights.
      The heat from the engine is there in a considerable amount, but yeah, the first service will make it manageable.
      The ride posture is very commanding and upright that you feel like a boss while riding it, the stance alone will steal a lotta glance from the people. I personally loved the aggressive updation on the stickers they've done with the 4v. Mine is a raid red and my baby cousin loves it.
      So, if you're in a budget, looking for a motorcycle that can go anywhere; if you wanna get a one that won't burn a hole in your pocket ; if you wanna make the heads turn, go for the xpulse 200 4v, i just rode 45 kms inside the city and the streets with a pillion and we both are going to sleep peacefully with nothing but the bare minimum of the body soreness that's gifted by the pollution and traffic.
      Lemme list out the pros and cons quickly so that, the someone who always want to cut to the chase can be helped with my review.
      Pros:
      1. The posture.
      2. Adequate power.
      3. Mileage.
      4. Looks.
      5. Maintenance cost.
      6. Vocal for the local
      7. Exhaust note (the screeching noise is loveable, mimics the latest duke 250 somewhere by a bit, but it's totally my personal opinion)
      8. Side stand engine cut off option (my friend's brand new apache 200 4v, just tell and broke its tank fairing - it showed neutral but when my niece pressed on the self start button, it moved and voila, bonk!!!)
      Let's get into the cons right away and please note that there's absolutely zero bias and no 'cutting some slack's' gonna happen here
      Cons:
      1. Gear position indicator (it irritates the living devil out of me)
      2. Seats (could have been better.
      3. Navigation is sloppy sometimes, as if it was my phone with bad network that caused it, but yeah again, it is not so great.
      4. Horn. (sounds sharp and sufficient but not upto my likeness. I'm a lover of the dual horn setups of pulsars, apaches and r15s. My fazer's horn is the same as the r15s and it is really good)
      And that is it guys, a review of my brand new hero xpulse 200 4v for your reference and i have totally answered my own questions up there as I have just got my bike, hence it is tested, experienced and written down neatly for all.
      For all's notice, I named my xpulse as x23. and it is the best ever gift I have gifted myself so far. 3 years ago, it was my used fazer - midnight special that still stands next to x23.

      I purchase Xpulse 200 4v [ 04.04.2022] in RP motors hero showroom Pollachi.  I rode my vehicle at 2rpm and 3rpm vehicle off and the vehicle ran missing. Last week I am visiting the service centre and telling about my problem but they are simply ignoring me and not responding to me. Very poor service, I will tell you about my problems in  6 months in Pollachi showroom. They told me to go to Coimbatore Sugana automobiles. When I go to the showroom in Coimbatore, the service team told me to wait 1 day, as I am waiting for one day. The team will be informed my technician will clean the head and valve. And the team told you your problem to solve. And I will take my bike and again the problem comes suddenly I reach out to Pollachi RP motors and they will tell bring the vehicle will rectify the problem, I go to the showroom and they will ask to give1 day time they will see the problem. When I go in the evening time they told me the vehicle is now ready. If we ask what is the problem in it, he told us to flash the ecm, they told us the complaint was rectified. I will take the vehicle again complaint has not been rectified. My nearby friends asked about my vehicle's performance for purchasing but now I am very disappointed with the hero brand. Kindly take action and rectify my problems do needed.

    • The X factor on two wheels - My x pulse 200 4v Story

      50 weeks ago


      Arun Kumar

      Hero Xpulse not just a motorcycle it's a versatile part of both Highway rides and city commuters, long adventurous tours it's one of the most practical and value for money bike for the most of the middle class people they want to experience the off road capability of the one of the bikes it's the one which they looking for I bought this bike in 2022 and I am fell in love with this I have done more than 20000 km in this motorcycle and I feel it's one of the most value for money by the brand Hero that offers the best engineering along with the practicality the positive side of this bike is the suspension and the ground clearance that will help when you are in bad road don't need to worry about the ground clearance and ride quality, As a 200cc motorcycle you may expect more performance from this one but this one is built different and its made for off road and as well as on road in delivers at decent performance and the fuel economy is average so when it comes to mileage it tell us 30 to 35 in the city and 35 to 40 in the Highway rides when it comes to riding comfort your going to get a decent comfort in a rider as well as pillion rider suspensions are very good and engine performance is not that great but it's okay to write it on a highway with the decent speed range of 80 to 90 km per hour the negative side of this motorcycle is the bike doesn't give you much mileage and Highway comforts are not that great there is a lot of vibrations when you are riding it on a highway as a adventure bike it has a more weight compared to other adventure bikes when it comes to night rides the headlights and the light through is not enough you need some more lights to ride in a night at last when it comes to service the service centres are cooperative and they will done the service up to the mark it's been a 2 years by using this bike I don't say any much negative thinks about this but the expectations are much more it will definitely make you feel happy and you can go with this bike if you are adventures kind of guy I will recommend you thank you

    • Worthy Machine

      4 years ago


      Suraj Singh

      I just bought the bike a week ago. Since then am riding this bike for every purpose
      I will give 4.5 out of 5 rating to the looks and 9 out of 10 to the performance
      People do ask me for the pricing of bike. This machine seeks public attention
      Thus this bike is a low maintenance bike.
      Pros :- 1. Braking
      2. Mileage
      3. Budget friendly
      4. Power is good
      5. Instrument clusters are easy to use
      6. Sound of the machine
      7. Seat height is good enough for 5.6" people
      And many more etc.
      Cons :- 1. Company should given 6th gear
      2. Performance is on the Top
      3. Headlight is not that much powerful
      That's my point of view
      Beginners should go for the xpulse 200 4v

    • Hero Xpulse 200 review

      4 years ago


      Lovely

      The bike look is stylish. Whenever you sit on the bike and turn on the ignition , you will feel , you are turning on your inner “biker” . It attracts people attention and gives you a special feeling.
      Performance wise - no doubt ride is smooth . You will not have to worry about the road condition ( on road / off road - city / rural , if you are riding this bike.
      Servicing & maintenance - do or go for the service as prescribed to get best performance.

    • Awesome experience! suspension is love

      3 years ago


      Khanjan Das

      I sold my old 150cc 4valve bajaj discover with rear monoshock, which was giving me good experience with 60+ mileage and bought this xpulse 200 4valve. I do a daily 2 km commute to my workplace (mostly flat road) and on weekends I go for small riding trips with friends. So far the bike is pretty good in handling below 90 kmph and the economy is also good in between 35-40 kmpl. What I like the most about this bike is the wheels are so big in radius that small potholes and small speed breakers are not a thing anymore. Rumble strips, I don’t even look at them anymore. Suspensions are so good! the engine is refined compared to the old xpulse model which I rode last year from a friend of mine. Also one important thing, it has a kick start in case you wanna go to cold areas, or if u don’t use ur bike too often and it remains in the garage for several days, this saves you!

    • Engine Issues with the Hero Xpulse 200 4V

      2 years ago


      Santu Tunga

      Purchased with enthusiasm, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V initially seemed like a promising ride. The suspension delivered a smooth experience, and regular servicing was a testament to my commitment to maintenance. However, the journey hit a rough patch at 9000km with a broken gear assembly balancer-driven washer, an issue that reemerged at 14000 km.
      Despite adhering to service schedules, this recurring problem has marred the reliability of the bike. Conversations with fellow Xpulse owners in online communities have revealed a pattern of similar experiences, with no definitive solutions in sight. This has led to a growing dissatisfaction among riders, myself included.
      The financial impact is non-negligible, with an investment of INR 170,000 feeling increasingly unjustified. The lack of resolution and repeated nature of the engine problem has eroded my trust in the brand, to the point where recommending this bike to others is out of the question.
      In conclusion, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V has fallen short of expectations. Potential buyers should be wary of the engine issues that have yet to be addressed by the manufacturer, casting a shadow over what could have been a commendable machine.

      Just like any common enthusiast I totally spent hours on youtube and forums like bikewale to see if xpulse would make me regret and all the doubts got kicked on its bottom when I twisted the throttle today.
      The initial pull is impressive! I got admit that, I have ridden my fazer 2012 - midnight special for about 15,000 kms and was looking for an upgrade over 250cc. I happened to choose the xpulse totally because of its practicality and price point. I didn't get disappointed with my first rev on this bike, brakes are adequate, power bank is enough for the city and occasional tours. I got say it out loud, everyone of us enter the bike hunt with things in mind like we're gonna hit ladakh in a week and race the laguna seca/ nürburgring in the next. But 99.9% of us ride the city and roads filled with gutters. For that I consider hero xpulse 200 4v to be a gem, although the seats are on the shorter side, it may take a toll on your rear if you're full figured like I am.
      The lights are claimed to be puny and useless, but surprisingly it is wonderful and more than adequate to me in the streets with no lights.
      The heat from the engine is there in a considerable amount, but yeah, the first service will make it manageable.
      The ride posture is very commanding and upright that you feel like a boss while riding it, the stance alone will steal a lotta glance from the people. I personally loved the aggressive updation on the stickers they've done with the 4v. Mine is a raid red and my baby cousin loves it.
      So, if you're in a budget, looking for a motorcycle that can go anywhere; if you wanna get a one that won't burn a hole in your pocket ; if you wanna make the heads turn, go for the xpulse 200 4v, i just rode 45 kms inside the city and the streets with a pillion and we both are going to sleep peacefully with nothing but the bare minimum of the body soreness that's gifted by the pollution and traffic.
      Lemme list out the pros and cons quickly so that, the someone who always want to cut to the chase can be helped with my review.
      Pros:
      1. The posture.
      2. Adequate power.
      3. Mileage.

      5. Maintenance cost.

      8. Side stand engine cut off option (my friend's brand new apache 200 4v, just tell and broke its tank fairing - it showed neutral but when my niece pressed on the self start button, it moved and voila, bonk!!!)
      Let's get into the cons right away and please note that there's absolutely zero bias and no 'cutting some slack's' gonna happen here
      Cons:
      1. Gear position indicator (it irritates the living devil out of me)
      2. Seats (could have been better.
      3. Navigation is sloppy sometimes, as if it was my phone with bad network that caused it, but yeah again, it is not so great.
      4. Horn. (sounds sharp and sufficient but not upto my likeness. I'm a lover of the dual horn setups of pulsars, apaches and r15s. My fazer's horn is the same as the r15s and it is really good)
      And that is it guys, a review of my brand new hero xpulse 200 4v for your reference and i have totally answered my own questions up there as I have just got my bike, hence it is tested, experienced and written down neatly for all.
      For all's notice, I named my xpulse as x23. and it is the best ever gift I have gifted myself so far. 3 years ago, it was my used fazer - midnight special that still stands next to x23.

      I purchase Xpulse 200 4v [ 04.04.2022] in RP motors hero showroom Pollachi.  I rode my vehicle at 2rpm and 3rpm vehicle off and the vehicle ran missing. Last week I am visiting the service centre and telling about my problem but they are simply ignoring me and not responding to me. Very poor service, I will tell you about my problems in  6 months in Pollachi showroom. They told me to go to Coimbatore Sugana automobiles. When I go to the showroom in Coimbatore, the service team told me to wait 1 day, as I am waiting for one day. The team will be informed my technician will clean the head and valve. And the team told you your problem to solve. And I will take my bike and again the problem comes suddenly I reach out to Pollachi RP motors and they will tell bring the vehicle will rectify the problem, I go to the showroom and they will ask to give1 day time they will see the problem. When I go in the evening time they told me the vehicle is now ready. If we ask what is the problem in it, he told us to flash the ecm, they told us the complaint was rectified. I will take the vehicle again complaint has not been rectified. My nearby friends asked about my vehicle's performance for purchasing but now I am very disappointed with the hero brand. Kindly take action and rectify my problems do needed.

    • The X factor on two wheels - My x pulse 200 4v Story

      50 weeks ago


      Arun Kumar

      Hero Xpulse not just a motorcycle it's a versatile part of both Highway rides and city commuters, long adventurous tours it's one of the most practical and value for money bike for the most of the middle class people they want to experience the off road capability of the one of the bikes it's the one which they looking for I bought this bike in 2022 and I am fell in love with this I have done more than 20000 km in this motorcycle and I feel it's one of the most value for money by the brand Hero that offers the best engineering along with the practicality the positive side of this bike is the suspension and the ground clearance that will help when you are in bad road don't need to worry about the ground clearance and ride quality, As a 200cc motorcycle you may expect more performance from this one but this one is built different and its made for off road and as well as on road in delivers at decent performance and the fuel economy is average so when it comes to mileage it tell us 30 to 35 in the city and 35 to 40 in the Highway rides when it comes to riding comfort your going to get a decent comfort in a rider as well as pillion rider suspensions are very good and engine performance is not that great but it's okay to write it on a highway with the decent speed range of 80 to 90 km per hour the negative side of this motorcycle is the bike doesn't give you much mileage and Highway comforts are not that great there is a lot of vibrations when you are riding it on a highway as a adventure bike it has a more weight compared to other adventure bikes when it comes to night rides the headlights and the light through is not enough you need some more lights to ride in a night at last when it comes to service the service centres are cooperative and they will done the service up to the mark it's been a 2 years by using this bike I don't say any much negative thinks about this but the expectations are much more it will definitely make you feel happy and you can go with this bike if you are adventures kind of guy I will recommend you thank you

    • Worthy Machine

      4 years ago


      Suraj Singh

      I just bought the bike a week ago. Since then am riding this bike for every purpose
      I will give 4.5 out of 5 rating to the looks and 9 out of 10 to the performance
      People do ask me for the pricing of bike. This machine seeks public attention
      Thus this bike is a low maintenance bike.
      Pros :- 1. Braking
      2. Mileage
      3. Budget friendly
      4. Power is good
      5. Instrument clusters are easy to use
      6. Sound of the machine
      7. Seat height is good enough for 5.6" people
      And many more etc.
      Cons :- 1. Company should given 6th gear
      2. Performance is on the Top
      3. Headlight is not that much powerful
      That's my point of view
      Beginners should go for the xpulse 200 4v

      Lovely

      The bike look is stylish. Whenever you sit on the bike and turn on the ignition , you will feel , you are turning on your inner “biker” . It attracts people attention and gives you a special feeling.
      Performance wise - no doubt ride is smooth . You will not have to worry about the road condition ( on road / off road - city / rural , if you are riding this bike.
      Servicing & maintenance - do or go for the service as prescribed to get best performance.

    • Awesome experience! suspension is love

      3 years ago


      Khanjan Das

      I sold my old 150cc 4valve bajaj discover with rear monoshock, which was giving me good experience with 60+ mileage and bought this xpulse 200 4valve. I do a daily 2 km commute to my workplace (mostly flat road) and on weekends I go for small riding trips with friends. So far the bike is pretty good in handling below 90 kmph and the economy is also good in between 35-40 kmpl. What I like the most about this bike is the wheels are so big in radius that small potholes and small speed breakers are not a thing anymore. Rumble strips, I don’t even look at them anymore. Suspensions are so good! the engine is refined compared to the old xpulse model which I rode last year from a friend of mine. Also one important thing, it has a kick start in case you wanna go to cold areas, or if u don’t use ur bike too often and it remains in the garage for several days, this saves you!

    • Engine Issues with the Hero Xpulse 200 4V

      2 years ago


      Santu Tunga

      Purchased with enthusiasm, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V initially seemed like a promising ride. The suspension delivered a smooth experience, and regular servicing was a testament to my commitment to maintenance. However, the journey hit a rough patch at 9000km with a broken gear assembly balancer-driven washer, an issue that reemerged at 14000 km.
      Despite adhering to service schedules, this recurring problem has marred the reliability of the bike. Conversations with fellow Xpulse owners in online communities have revealed a pattern of similar experiences, with no definitive solutions in sight. This has led to a growing dissatisfaction among riders, myself included.
      The financial impact is non-negligible, with an investment of INR 170,000 feeling increasingly unjustified. The lack of resolution and repeated nature of the engine problem has eroded my trust in the brand, to the point where recommending this bike to others is out of the question.
      In conclusion, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V has fallen short of expectations. Potential buyers should be wary of the engine issues that have yet to be addressed by the manufacturer, casting a shadow over what could have been a commendable machine.

    • Off-road hero in budget

      4 years ago


      Divya Prakash

      Last time I had a very bad experience with the Bajaj pulsar rs 200 on Kathmandu trip. I almost crushed the bike from the lower side and then I came to know the difference between a racing bike and an adventure riding bike. My friend has a RE Himalayan but he suggested hero xpulse for myself. I drove Himalayan many times and got satisfied with the performance but never tried the xpulse ever, that's why I was a little bit confused. Finally, after so many test drives I bought a hero xpulse 200 4v.
      The design looks stylish and born for off-road. It's not a cruiser either but if you are not a speedster you won't regret it. It feels very smooth at the speed of 90 kmph on highways. Suspensions, seat and sitting position are comfortable. Brakes do fine. Compared with re Himalayan it has 20 percent lesser power and 45 percent lesser torque but power to weight ratios of both the bikes reach closer due to 20 percent lesser weight of xpulse. In real life when i go off road don't feel much difference between the two. 10 kmpl of extra mileage and 1 lac lesser price of hero xpulse 200 4v seems to be economic and budget-friendly.
      Pros.
      1- it is sturdier than other motorbikes of this price range.
      2- it feels powerful and torque is enough for mountainous or rocky terrains.
      3- upward exhaust is capable of going underwater deeper than re himalayan.
      4- fully digital meter with navigation and charging point.
      5- light weight of the bike provides a better and more effortless handling.
      6- one of the cheapest adventure riding motorbikes.
      7- spares and servicing costs are also cheaper than re.
      8- availability of spares and services is not a problem.
      Cons.
      1- top speed is not as good as re himalayan.
      2- it's felt lack of torque at low rpm.
      3- compared with re himalayan the handle bar is not so comfortable for riding the bike in a standing position.

    • No response from hero moto corp.

      Arun Kumar

      Very bad experience to buy this bike bcoz there is no good response from all staff of hero moto corp. Customer care service, and dealership services are very very poor. They only sell bikes after that If you face any problem with the bike no one will help you. Customer care never knows where is dealership is and who official of hero moto is working in that district from hero moto.
      So I really disappointed with the service of the total hero moto corp. Don't buy it bcoz it works like govt. Sector.

      Just like any common enthusiast I totally spent hours on youtube and forums like bikewale to see if xpulse would make me regret and all the doubts got kicked on its bottom when I twisted the throttle today.
      The initial pull is impressive! I got admit that, I have ridden my fazer 2012 - midnight special for about 15,000 kms and was looking for an upgrade over 250cc. I happened to choose the xpulse totally because of its practicality and price point. I didn't get disappointed with my first rev on this bike, brakes are adequate, power bank is enough for the city and occasional tours. I got say it out loud, everyone of us enter the bike hunt with things in mind like we're gonna hit ladakh in a week and race the laguna seca/ nürburgring in the next.

      So, if you're in a budget, looking for a motorcycle that can go anywhere; if you wanna get a one that won't burn a hole in your pocket ; if you wanna make the heads turn, go for the xpulse 200 4v, i just rode 45 kms inside the city and the streets with a pillion and we both are going to sleep peacefully with nothing but the bare minimum of the body soreness that's gifted by the pollution and traffic.

      3. Navigation is sloppy sometimes, as if it was my phone with bad network that caused it, but yeah again, it is not so great.
      4. Horn. (sounds sharp and sufficient but not upto my likeness. I'm a lover of the dual horn setups of pulsars, apaches and r15s. My fazer's horn is the same as the r15s and it is really good)

    • The X factor on two wheels - My x pulse 200 4v Story

      50 weeks ago


      Arun Kumar

      Hero Xpulse not just a motorcycle it's a versatile part of both Highway rides and city commuters, long adventurous tours it's one of the most practical and value for money bike for the most of the middle class people they want to experience the off road capability of the one of the bikes it's the one which they looking for I bought this bike in 2022 and I am fell in love with this I have done more than 20000 km in this motorcycle and I feel it's one of the most value for money by the brand Hero that offers the best engineering along with the practicality the positive side of this bike is the suspension and the ground clearance that will help when you are in bad road don't need to worry about the ground clearance and ride quality, As a 200cc motorcycle you may expect more performance from this one but this one is built different and its made for off road and as well as on road in delivers at decent performance and the fuel economy is average so when it comes to mileage it tell us 30 to 35 in the city and 35 to 40 in the Highway rides when it comes to riding comfort your going to get a decent comfort in a rider as well as pillion rider suspensions are very good and engine performance is not that great but it's okay to write it on a highway with the decent speed range of 80 to 90 km per hour the negative side of this motorcycle is the bike doesn't give you much mileage and Highway comforts are not that great there is a lot of vibrations when you are riding it on a highway as a adventure bike it has a more weight compared to other adventure bikes when it comes to night rides the headlights and the light through is not enough you need some more lights to ride in a night at last when it comes to service the service centres are cooperative and they will done the service up to the mark it's been a 2 years by using this bike I don't say any much negative thinks about this but the expectations are much more it will definitely make you feel happy and you can go with this bike if you are adventures kind of guy I will recommend you thank you

      I just bought the bike a week ago. Since then am riding this bike for every purpose
      I will give 4.5 out of 5 rating to the looks and 9 out of 10 to the performance
      People do ask me for the pricing of bike. This machine seeks public attention
      Thus this bike is a low maintenance bike.
      Pros :- 1. Braking

      3. Budget friendly
      4. Power is good
      5. Instrument clusters are easy to use
      6. Sound of the machine
      7. Seat height is good enough for 5.6" people
      And many more etc.
      Cons :- 1. Company should given 6th gear
      2. Performance is on the Top
      3. Headlight is not that much powerful
      That's my point of view
      Beginners should go for the xpulse 200 4v

      Lovely

      The bike look is stylish. Whenever you sit on the bike and turn on the ignition , you will feel , you are turning on your inner “biker” . It attracts people attention and gives you a special feeling.
      Performance wise - no doubt ride is smooth . You will not have to worry about the road condition ( on road / off road - city / rural , if you are riding this bike.
      Servicing & maintenance - do or go for the service as prescribed to get best performance.

    • Awesome experience! suspension is love

      3 years ago


      Khanjan Das

      I sold my old 150cc 4valve bajaj discover with rear monoshock, which was giving me good experience with 60+ mileage and bought this xpulse 200 4valve. I do a daily 2 km commute to my workplace (mostly flat road) and on weekends I go for small riding trips with friends. So far the bike is pretty good in handling below 90 kmph and the economy is also good in between 35-40 kmpl. What I like the most about this bike is the wheels are so big in radius that small potholes and small speed breakers are not a thing anymore. Rumble strips, I don’t even look at them anymore. Suspensions are so good! the engine is refined compared to the old xpulse model which I rode last year from a friend of mine. Also one important thing, it has a kick start in case you wanna go to cold areas, or if u don’t use ur bike too often and it remains in the garage for several days, this saves you!

    • Engine Issues with the Hero Xpulse 200 4V

      2 years ago


      Santu Tunga

      Purchased with enthusiasm, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V initially seemed like a promising ride. The suspension delivered a smooth experience, and regular servicing was a testament to my commitment to maintenance. However, the journey hit a rough patch at 9000km with a broken gear assembly balancer-driven washer, an issue that reemerged at 14000 km.
      Despite adhering to service schedules, this recurring problem has marred the reliability of the bike. Conversations with fellow Xpulse owners in online communities have revealed a pattern of similar experiences, with no definitive solutions in sight. This has led to a growing dissatisfaction among riders, myself included.
      The financial impact is non-negligible, with an investment of INR 170,000 feeling increasingly unjustified. The lack of resolution and repeated nature of the engine problem has eroded my trust in the brand, to the point where recommending this bike to others is out of the question.
      In conclusion, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V has fallen short of expectations. Potential buyers should be wary of the engine issues that have yet to be addressed by the manufacturer, casting a shadow over what could have been a commendable machine.

    • Off-road hero in budget

      4 years ago


      Divya Prakash

      Last time I had a very bad experience with the Bajaj pulsar rs 200 on Kathmandu trip. I almost crushed the bike from the lower side and then I came to know the difference between a racing bike and an adventure riding bike. My friend has a RE Himalayan but he suggested hero xpulse for myself. I drove Himalayan many times and got satisfied with the performance but never tried the xpulse ever, that's why I was a little bit confused. Finally, after so many test drives I bought a hero xpulse 200 4v.
      The design looks stylish and born for off-road. It's not a cruiser either but if you are not a speedster you won't regret it. It feels very smooth at the speed of 90 kmph on highways. Suspensions, seat and sitting position are comfortable. Brakes do fine. Compared with re Himalayan it has 20 percent lesser power and 45 percent lesser torque but power to weight ratios of both the bikes reach closer due to 20 percent lesser weight of xpulse. In real life when i go off road don't feel much difference between the two. 10 kmpl of extra mileage and 1 lac lesser price of hero xpulse 200 4v seems to be economic and budget-friendly.
      Pros.
      1- it is sturdier than other motorbikes of this price range.
      2- it feels powerful and torque is enough for mountainous or rocky terrains.
      3- upward exhaust is capable of going underwater deeper than re himalayan.
      4- fully digital meter with navigation and charging point.
      5- light weight of the bike provides a better and more effortless handling.
      6- one of the cheapest adventure riding motorbikes.
      7- spares and servicing costs are also cheaper than re.
      8- availability of spares and services is not a problem.
      Cons.
      1- top speed is not as good as re himalayan.
      2- it's felt lack of torque at low rpm.
      3- compared with re himalayan the handle bar is not so comfortable for riding the bike in a standing position.

    • No response from hero moto corp.

      4 years ago


      Arun Kumar

      Very bad experience to buy this bike bcoz there is no good response from all staff of hero moto corp. Customer care service, and dealership services are very very poor. They only sell bikes after that If you face any problem with the bike no one will help you. Customer care never knows where is dealership is and who official of hero moto is working in that district from hero moto.
      So I really disappointed with the service of the total hero moto corp. Don't buy it bcoz it works like govt. Sector.

    • An eye-candy that does all stuff while being pocket friendly. The hero xpulse 200 4v.

      4 years ago


      Adarsh M S

      Someone who's totally into sports tourers and power cruisers has chosen an off-roader to be his ride mate.
      I just got my xpulse 200 4v registered and delivered to me on my my birthday. I badly wanted this birthday to be damn special.
      Just like any common enthusiast I totally spent hours on youtube and forums like bikewale to see if xpulse would make me regret and all the doubts got kicked on its bottom when I twisted the throttle today.
      The initial pull is impressive! I got admit that, I have ridden my fazer 2012 - midnight special for about 15,000 kms and was looking for an upgrade over 250cc. I happened to choose the xpulse totally because of its practicality and price point. I didn't get disappointed with my first rev on this bike, brakes are adequate, power bank is enough for the city and occasional tours. I got say it out loud, everyone of us enter the bike hunt with things in mind like we're gonna hit ladakh in a week and race the laguna seca/ nürburgring in the next. But 99.9% of us ride the city and roads filled with gutters. For that I consider hero xpulse 200 4v to be a gem, although the seats are on the shorter side, it may take a toll on your rear if you're full figured like I am.
      The lights are claimed to be puny and useless, but surprisingly it is wonderful and more than adequate to me in the streets with no lights.
      The heat from the engine is there in a considerable amount, but yeah, the first service will make it manageable.
      The ride posture is very commanding and upright that you feel like a boss while riding it, the stance alone will steal a lotta glance from the people. I personally loved the aggressive updation on the stickers they've done with the 4v. Mine is a raid red and my baby cousin loves it.
      So, if you're in a budget, looking for a motorcycle that can go anywhere; if you wanna get a one that won't burn a hole in your pocket ; if you wanna make the heads turn, go for the xpulse 200 4v, i just rode 45 kms inside the city and the streets with a pillion and we both are going to sleep peacefully with nothing but the bare minimum of the body soreness that's gifted by the pollution and traffic.
      Lemme list out the pros and cons quickly so that, the someone who always want to cut to the chase can be helped with my review.
      Pros:
      1. The posture.
      2. Adequate power.
      3. Mileage.
      4. Looks.
      5. Maintenance cost.
      6. Vocal for the local
      7. Exhaust note (the screeching noise is loveable, mimics the latest duke 250 somewhere by a bit, but it's totally my personal opinion)
      8. Side stand engine cut off option (my friend's brand new apache 200 4v, just tell and broke its tank fairing - it showed neutral but when my niece pressed on the self start button, it moved and voila, bonk!!!)
      Let's get into the cons right away and please note that there's absolutely zero bias and no 'cutting some slack's' gonna happen here
      Cons:
      1. Gear position indicator (it irritates the living devil out of me)
      2. Seats (could have been better.
      3. Navigation is sloppy sometimes, as if it was my phone with bad network that caused it, but yeah again, it is not so great.
      4. Horn. (sounds sharp and sufficient but not upto my likeness. I'm a lover of the dual horn setups of pulsars, apaches and r15s. My fazer's horn is the same as the r15s and it is really good)
      And that is it guys, a review of my brand new hero xpulse 200 4v for your reference and i have totally answered my own questions up there as I have just got my bike, hence it is tested, experienced and written down neatly for all.
      For all's notice, I named my xpulse as x23. and it is the best ever gift I have gifted myself so far. 3 years ago, it was my used fazer - midnight special that still stands next to x23.

      I purchase Xpulse 200 4v [ 04.04.2022] in RP motors hero showroom Pollachi.  I rode my vehicle at 2rpm and 3rpm vehicle off and the vehicle ran missing. Last week I am visiting the service centre and telling about my problem but they are simply ignoring me and not responding to me. Very poor service, I will tell you about my problems in  6 months in Pollachi showroom. They told me to go to Coimbatore Sugana automobiles. When I go to the showroom in Coimbatore, the service team told me to wait 1 day, as I am waiting for one day. The team will be informed my technician will clean the head and valve. And the team told you your problem to solve. And I will take my bike and again the problem comes suddenly I reach out to Pollachi RP motors and they will tell bring the vehicle will rectify the problem, I go to the showroom and they will ask to give1 day time they will see the problem. When I go in the evening time they told me the vehicle is now ready. If we ask what is the problem in it, he told us to flash the ecm, they told us the complaint was rectified. I will take the vehicle again complaint has not been rectified. My nearby friends asked about my vehicle's performance for purchasing but now I am very disappointed with the hero brand. Kindly take action and rectify my problems do needed.

      The bike look is stylish. Whenever you sit on the bike and turn on the ignition , you will feel , you are turning on your inner “biker” . It attracts people attention and gives you a special feeling.
      Performance wise - no doubt ride is smooth . You will not have to worry about the road condition ( on road / off road - city / rural , if you are riding this bike.
      Servicing & maintenance - do or go for the service as prescribed to get best performance.

    • Awesome experience! suspension is love

      3 years ago

      I sold my old 150cc 4valve bajaj discover with rear monoshock, which was giving me good experience with 60+ mileage and bought this xpulse 200 4valve. I do a daily 2 km commute to my workplace (mostly flat road) and on weekends I go for small riding trips with friends. So far the bike is pretty good in handling below 90 kmph and the economy is also good in between 35-40 kmpl. What I like the most about this bike is the wheels are so big in radius that small potholes and small speed breakers are not a thing anymore. Rumble strips, I don’t even look at them anymore. Suspensions are so good! the engine is refined compared to the old xpulse model which I rode last year from a friend of mine. Also one important thing, it has a kick start in case you wanna go to cold areas, or if u don’t use ur bike too often and it remains in the garage for several days, this saves you!

    • Engine Issues with the Hero Xpulse 200 4V

      2 years ago


      Santu Tunga

      Purchased with enthusiasm, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V initially seemed like a promising ride. The suspension delivered a smooth experience, and regular servicing was a testament to my commitment to maintenance. However, the journey hit a rough patch at 9000km with a broken gear assembly balancer-driven washer, an issue that reemerged at 14000 km.
      Despite adhering to service schedules, this recurring problem has marred the reliability of the bike. Conversations with fellow Xpulse owners in online communities have revealed a pattern of similar experiences, with no definitive solutions in sight. This has led to a growing dissatisfaction among riders, myself included.
      The financial impact is non-negligible, with an investment of INR 170,000 feeling increasingly unjustified. The lack of resolution and repeated nature of the engine problem has eroded my trust in the brand, to the point where recommending this bike to others is out of the question.
      In conclusion, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V has fallen short of expectations. Potential buyers should be wary of the engine issues that have yet to be addressed by the manufacturer, casting a shadow over what could have been a commendable machine.
