Apart from the ADV twins, expect a new fully-faired bike as well

[Update: Hero MotoCorp has launched the XPulse 200, XPulse 200T and the Xtreme 200S. Head here for the launch story]

  • The Hero XPulse 200 was first showcased at the 2017 EICMA Show. 
  • Two variants on offer- road-focused XPulse 200T and off-road oriented XPulse 200. 
  • The mysterious fully-faired bike is a faired variant of the Hero Xtreme 200R.

Hero MotoCorp will be launching not one, but three new motorcycles tomorrow. The first two are the company’s entry level adventure tourers - the road-focused XPulse 200T and off-road oriented XPulse 200. Of the two, the XPulse 200 will get long-travel suspension, higher ground clearance and larger spoked wheels (21-inch up front and 18-inch at the rear) wrapped in knobby Ceat Gripp tyres. Additionally, it will also come with a front beak, sump guard, knuckle guards and a high-mounted exhaust for better water-wading capability.

The XPulse 200T, on the other hand, is likely to feature the same suspension setup as the Hero Xtreme 200R along with more urban-focused 17-inch alloy wheels (100/80 - front, 130/70 - rear). Both motorcycles will feature the same set of electronics - a fully-digital instrument console, Bluetooth connectivity, LED lights at both ends and a single-channel ABS system.

Powering both the motorcycles will be the same 200cc air-cooled, fuel-injected engine that generates 18.7PS of power and 17.1Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed transmission. However, the XPulse 200 could be tuned differently considering its off-road orientation.

Both bikes are expected to be priced between Rs 1.1 lakh to Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom). If Hero manages to price the bikes in this range, the XPulse 200 will become the most affordable ADV in India, a spot which is currently held by the Royal Enfield Himalayan (Rs 1.79 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi).
