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

    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.

    Very great managable bike 

    The suspension of this bike is very well tuned and the mileage got easily 30 to 35 kmpl depending upon the ride. The suspension is adjustable with the soft, comfortable and stiffer side which is incredible and for off roading it is very nice and comfortable. This bike is so damn manageable and so the initial pickup is very nice and there and you can take this bike to whenever you want and so its very easy to use. If you want to go off roading and any others so it is a very enjoyable bike.

    My Day-to-Day Champion 

    The TVS Apache RTR 160 has been my companion for several months now and it has proven to be a reliable workhorse. The bike’s 159 cc engine offers sufficient power for city commuting and the occasional joyride. What really stands out is the bike's mileage I get about 45 kmpl, which is incredibly economical for daily use.However, the bike's vibration levels at higher speeds are a concern. It tends to detract from the otherwise smooth handling and can cause a bit of a nuisance on longer trips. Also, I find the braking could be a bit sharper specially during rainy conditions.

    This 160cc beauty delivers 

    This 160cc beauty delivers impressive power and pickup, Making it a joy to ride on highways and city roads.Its lightweight design and responsive suspension make it easy to maneuver through traffic and corners.It has a sleek, Sporty look that turns heads on the road.Bike's price is comprtitive, Making it an attractive option for those seeking a performance bike on budget.Worst things that some owner responded to faulty electrical components.At high spped bike can experience vibrations that's uncomfortable for riders.Pillion seat can be uncomfortable for long rides.Bike's fuel efficiency is average but overall the bike's overall performance and features make it a compelling choice.

    Nimble and Agile Commuter 

    No doubt, the TVS Apache RTR 160 stands out with it's a quick response and cornering maneuverability, that make it a dream of a ride for city traffic. It's customers prefer these motorized bike for its notable peppy engine, excellent response from throttle and its low weight chassis, which makes weaving through traffic very easy. The sharp looks, cozy chairs, and sturdy brakes receive nearly the full mark. On other hand, a number of drivers emphasize the need for better transportation fuel economy and the requirements for an improved suspension system for the smoother ride on a rocky road.

    Most comfortable and great performer bike 

    The engine of this bike comes with the great performance and gives sporty looking ride and the ride quality i like the most with great comfort. The design of this bike is muscular and pretty nice and also the handling of this bike is very good and is a great family bike with high comfort but in the corners it is not good. The suspension setup is really very nice and the engine performance is very high with good power and is the feature rich bike and TVS Apache RTR 160 now gives smooth engine but tyres could be more better.
