Hero Xpulse 200 4V Price in Kalimpong

I bought this bike for my daily commute and occasional tours. After completing 14k km I can say this bike meets my needs. I have done long tours and mostly in hill areas. This bike performed extremely well with a pillion. I use it in my daily office and traffic never stopped me. It has the anywhere-go capability.
Things I need to take care of frequently are chain lubing and engine oil change. Accelerate wire changed once due to manufacturing defects.
Both disc pads changed at 13k km.
Have done some modifications, like tail rack, auxiliary lamps(60w & hjg), and mobile holder with usb port. All are working extremely well.
On highways, i can cruise 80kmph comfortably. Anything over 90kmph, the bike feels peppy.
I have done some extreme off-road with the machine, it absolutely amazed me.
The drawbacks are, the very light illumination of headlights, the seat is not comfortable, ride over 65kmph and you will get 30 to 35 kmpl. The engine gets hot quickly.
Overall good experience. I recommend it.

I sold my old 150cc 4valve bajaj discover with rear monoshock, which was giving me good experience with 60+ mileage and bought this xpulse 200 4valve. I do a daily 2 km commute to my workplace (mostly flat road) and on weekends I go for small riding trips with friends. So far the bike is pretty good in handling below 90 kmph and the economy is also good in between 35-40 kmpl. What I like the most about this bike is the wheels are so big in radius that small potholes and small speed breakers are not a thing anymore. Rumble strips, I don’t even look at them anymore. Suspensions are so good! the engine is refined compared to the old xpulse model which I rode last year from a friend of mine. Also one important thing, it has a kick start in case you wanna go to cold areas, or if u don’t use ur bike too often and it remains in the garage for several days, this saves you!

Servicing and maintenance is terrible. In just 8500 km they changed my both disk pad cost me Rs.4000-5000 extra. In my last bike, I changed the disk pad after 2 years after 30000 km. In all the last 3 servicing, I had to visit the service center the 2nd time with some issues with my bike. Waste of time and money.
