Hero Xpulse 210 Mileage

I am Rohith, a Graphic Designer, based out of Bengaluru, in a Digital Marketing Company. I bought the Hero Xpulse 210 in late June 2025, and this is my experience with this motorcycle.
Initially, the bike was working fine until the first service. But after the first service, I encountered a number of problems, not once but four times, each time encountering a different problem. The service center could not point out the reason for the initial problems since the bike was brand new.
Here’re some of the issues I encountered:
1st issue: Starter switch issue
2nd issue: Relay malfunction
3rd issue: Side stand sensor failure
4th issue: Air filter-related issue
My bike started functioning well after the second service. One thing that I learned was that it is important to ensure that the servicing of the bike takes place at the dealership from where I originally bought the bike.
Performance & Handling:
The new
As regards performance, the Xpulse 210 is a completely standout motorcycle.
At 100 km/h, I am able to easily cruise without any vibrations.
The bike is stable, planted, and confident at higher speeds.
Miles
Mileage also depends greatly on how you ride:
Approximately 30 km/l in an urban environment
Above 40+ km/l on highways
Comfort & Ride Experience
It is evident that this bike is designed for comfort.
La suspensión es perfecta, especialmente en caminos de mala calidad y a grandes distancias.
The power delivery is very smooth and is apt for both commuting and touring.
Build Quality & Observations
In this
Although the bicycle works well, there are a number of fields where improvement is required:
The paint is rather brittle and prone to
Knuckle guardians appear weak
The quality of the boxes in the toolkit is low
With that being said, however, I've not come across the issues associated with the TFT screen, oil leakage, and the tappet noise some people reported.
Conclusion I have completed almost 8,000 kms now, and at the moment, the bike is performing well without any issues. Complementing the initial teething issues, the Xpulse 210 is a good bike when it comes to comfort, touring, and urban riding but needs an upgrade when it comes to sturdiness and quality of construction.
