Hero Xpulse 200 4V Price in Kodarma

Purchased with enthusiasm, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V initially seemed like a promising ride. The suspension delivered a smooth experience, and regular servicing was a testament to my commitment to maintenance. However, the journey hit a rough patch at 9000km with a broken gear assembly balancer-driven washer, an issue that reemerged at 14000 km.
Despite adhering to service schedules, this recurring problem has marred the reliability of the bike. Conversations with fellow Xpulse owners in online communities have revealed a pattern of similar experiences, with no definitive solutions in sight. This has led to a growing dissatisfaction among riders, myself included.
The financial impact is non-negligible, with an investment of INR 170,000 feeling increasingly unjustified. The lack of resolution and repeated nature of the engine problem has eroded my trust in the brand, to the point where recommending this bike to others is out of the question.
In conclusion, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V has fallen short of expectations. Potential buyers should be wary of the engine issues that have yet to be addressed by the manufacturer, casting a shadow over what could have been a commendable machine.

About the Reviewer

Good suspension, the best comfort, good power and the look is normal. But the break is slowly more than other sports bikes. The engine is smooth. Headlight is slightly slow. Top speed 132. Best riding experience. It is best for all India rides. I love it. Hero is great. It is best for off-road. Best for mud roads. Overall best bike.

Last time I had a very bad experience with the Bajaj pulsar rs 200 on Kathmandu trip. I almost crushed the bike from the lower side and then I came to know the difference between a racing bike and an adventure riding bike. My friend has a RE Himalayan but he suggested hero xpulse for myself. I drove Himalayan many times and got satisfied with the performance but never tried the xpulse ever, that's why I was a little bit confused. Finally, after so many test drives I bought a hero xpulse 200 4v.
The design looks stylish and born for off-road. It's not a cruiser either but if you are not a speedster you won't regret it. It feels very smooth at the speed of 90 kmph on highways. Suspensions, seat and sitting position are comfortable. Brakes do fine. Compared with re Himalayan it has 20 percent lesser power and 45 percent lesser torque but power to weight ratios of both the bikes reach closer due to 20 percent lesser weight of xpulse. In real life when i go off road don't feel much difference between the two. 10 kmpl of extra mileage and 1 lac lesser price of hero xpulse 200 4v seems to be economic and budget-friendly.
Pros.
1- it is sturdier than other motorbikes of this price range.
2- it feels powerful and torque is enough for mountainous or rocky terrains.
3- upward exhaust is capable of going underwater deeper than re himalayan.
4- fully digital meter with navigation and charging point.
5- light weight of the bike provides a better and more effortless handling.
6- one of the cheapest adventure riding motorbikes.
7- spares and servicing costs are also cheaper than re.
8- availability of spares and services is not a problem.
Cons.
1- top speed is not as good as re himalayan.
2- it's felt lack of torque at low rpm.
3- compared with re himalayan the handle bar is not so comfortable for riding the bike in a standing position.
