Hero MotoCorp and Harley-Davidson recently introduced the Harley-Davidson X440 in the Indian market, which has received positive feedback from customers. It is expected that the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer will unveil its new motorcycle before the end of this financial year, which will feature the same engine as the HD X440.
Taking inspiration from the Yamaha MT-01, this new motorcycle could be a power cruiser. After the launch of the Harley-Davidson X440, Hero introduced the completely new engine-powered Karizma XMR 210. The prices of the fair-ed super sports have been increased by Rs. 7,000. The liquid-cooled engine will also be featured in more new Hero motorcycles.
The Hero Xpulse is undoubtedly an adventure tourer motorcycle with dual-purpose intentions that can be purchased at an affordable price. It was recently spotted during testing, indicating that the brand is working on the next generation of Xpulse models. While the testing prototype was camouflaged, the key feature is that it will have the same 210cc engine as the Karizma XMR.
Compared to the current 199.6cc air-cooled engine, it is expected to provide approximately 6.1 more horsepower and 3.1 more Newton meters of torque. The design will have a progressive approach, with most body panels and the platform likely being taken from the current model. It will continue to be the most affordable adventure motorcycle in the country.
The current price range of the XPulse 200 4V is between Rs. 1.45 lakh and Rs. 1.52 lakh (ex-showroom) and may see a hike of around Rs. 30,000-40,000. It is expected to be launched in India before the arrival of the flagship Xpulse 421 in 2024 or 202
