Q. I am in a plan to buy xpulse 200 for a long term use But now a days i have seen many complaints about xpulse.Engine sound..parts rusting so fast,front brake jam etc..So now iam in a confusion.can anyone give me a clarification?

If riding off-road is what you live for but find the existing starting points too expensive and/or impractical and intimidating, the XPulse is just the bike you’ve been waiting for. It’s got all the basic goodies and inherent qualities to make for a cheerful, encouraging trail hunter and it’s not a heartachingly expensive motorcycle to damage either. The XPulse spells good value for money and, as long as you have (or intend to have) another motorcycle to give you your high-speed thrills. Moreover, you would not face challenges related to rusting, engine rattles, and brakes being jamed if you timely service your bike and take proper care while storing and riding. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

I own Xpulse for 1year and 5 months.I live in coastal area,so you can imagine how easily bike can catch rust in our area.I have not faced rusting problem on my xpulse on rims or any engine parts.Front brake problem was solved by dealer as ABS unit was replaced free of cost by them.Now brakes works just fine.But Engine is not refined like Hero bikes and paint is chipping off from Engine.So they have compromised on paint quality of engine.But Bike is a blast on off roads.You can just stand and undulations will disappear .But in highway above 80 km/hr it starts to vibrate a lot.

@zigwheel i bought my Xpulse 200 4v in a month of March and now Xpulse showing too much issue also spare parts are not available in service center, nowdays i am totally exhausted with Xpulse. In just 4 month block piston, valve rocker arm lock set meter fuel pump changed. In my experience worst bike ever also worst service.
