Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I am planning to buy the XPulse 200. I am confused between carburetor and FI- which one would be easier to maintain in the long run? Also, I have read reports of the rust issue of the wheel and rim, has this been resolved?
  • Xpulse carb is more better than fi.but you want more refinement and mileage go for xpulse fi.both segment make for long riding distance. after a long time rust issues but it's can be resolved.
  • For better mileage go for Fi, for less maintenance go for carb edition, rusting issue is not seen on every bike, even though if you face the issue the hero moto corp is replacing the rusted parts with new one......
  • Is there any sound comming from engine side in BS6 model
Q. What is the different between Hero Moto Corp XPulse 200 BS4 and BS6
  • There are few differences which all together make the motorcycle feel slightly different while riding. Addition of cat-conThe exhaust pipe placement has been changed to accommodate the cat-con, addition of cat con also results in a slight power drop, this has drastically changed the way the engine performs. Reduced vibes, linear power delivery and better mileage I suppose.Addition of oil cooler.For now this is all that has changed in the bs6 xpulse. If you have ridden the bs4 motorcycle you’ll definitely feel the difference in the engine performance.
  • The major change your n BS6 variant is now this bike comes with oil cooled engine at place of air cool engine is BS4. I have BS4 variant and I feel the hot engine without oil cool engine. Can Hero add oil cooler to my BS4 xpulse 200.
  • Difference between BS-IV and BS-VI fuel and vehicles primarily is the significant lower content of sulphur. The sulphur content on both petrol and diesel will come down to 10ppm in BS-VI fuel as compared to 50 ppm in BS-IV fuel

    Most durable and fine  

    The Hero XPulse 200 4V is an adventure motorcycle designed for tackling both on-road and off-road terrains .It is my best partner in all my mountain rides . It is powered by a 199.6cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled, BS6 engine. It provides decent power for highway riding . This is the base variant with essential features for on-and-off-road riding. While its technological features are fairly basic, focusing on functionality for adventure riding. It has a lightweight chassis for better maneuverability.

    Hero XPulse 200 4V: Ready for Adventure 

    Buying the Hero XPulse 200 4V felt like a step towards more adventurous rides and it has not disappointed. This bike is robust, powered by a 199 cc engine. It handles off road trails with ease thanks to its upgraded suspension and higher ground clearance. The ride comfort is great, even on rough terrains and the gear shifts are smooth.On the flip side, while it is great off road the XPulse 200 4V can feel a bit underpowered on highways specially at higher speeds. Fuel efficiency is decent for the segment, averaging about 35 kmpl but do not expect to save massively on fuel.

    Unleashing Adventure  

    My friend’s bike is Hero XPulse 200 4V and it turns adventures into an art form by balancing off-road performance with smooth road riding. Its 200cc engine, both on- and off-road, offers the much-needed power and performance while the long-travel suspension ensures comfortable riding on varied terrain. The bike is lightweight and has balanced handling, it's equally adequate for urban streets or off-road trails. In general, an aggressive tread pattern could have been a contributed factor for better off-road performance. In general, the XPulse 200 4V kindles the curiosity of exploration and brings excitement even for the rookie.

    Stock tyres 

    Its a very good touring machine mostly tarmac friendly.The stock tyres are useless so as the stock headlight.The seat height is the biggest concern also the seat is wide which makes more comfort but flat footing both side impossible for anyone below 5.10.The ride quality and comfort is wonderful and i wish it had traction control which will make is a good allrounder.I can tell you that versys is one of the best touring bike currently available in market at this price band.If someone is looking for a good tourer for road use then versys is the best bet and if you are looking for bit of off-road then v-storm 650 looks better.

    Happy with the bike because it takes you places, pushes you to corners, and does a bit of everything that you expect. Brings a smile to my face everytime I ride it. Gives me a feeling of everlasting love for it after every ride.
