Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which bike to choose, XPulse 200, Dominar 250 or Scrambler?
  • Hero has delivered a far better XPulse with the 4-valve updates. You will appreciate the extra drive and new suspension tune for commuting and off-roading. On other hand, Yezdi Scrambler isn’t an adventure motorcycle, yet you will relish the sporty handling of the Scrambler on your weekend rides. It is capable of carrying incredible lean angles with ease. And if talk about the third contender, apart from its accessible price tag, the Dominar 250 does one thing right, it is fit to its purpose. The 250cc motor may feel boring, but it works beautifully on the Dominar especially when you combine it with its comfortable touring ergonomics. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. What is the difference between variants?
  • Xpulse 200 is a 2v engine which provides a little less performance and smooth riding than the Xpulse 200 4v variant.
  • Hero has made a couple of changes to the XPulse 200. The most significant one comes to the engine; the 199cc motor now gets a 4-valve setup, bumping up its output to 19.1PS and 17.35Nm, 1.02PS and 0.9Nm more than the current bike. Hero claims the extra juice will improve its top-end performance. Topping this off is a new 7-fin oil cooler and updated gear ratios for better acceleration. Next up, the XPulse gets a new integrated engine start/stop switch. This isn’t a crucial update, but it’s convenient and makes the switchgear look clutter-free. The LED headlamp has also been updated for better illumination.Read more-2021 Hero XPulse 200 4V Launched With More Power And Better Features. -Hero XPulse 200 4V Road Test Review: The Best XPulse Yet.
