1. Buying experience:- I want to buy a bike that can do anything, go anywhere, can travel smoothly without any problem on my country's road which is kind of offroad. As it will be my personally own bike I want to keep my budget short near around 1.5 lakhs. I have given many test rides on many bikes but as soon as I rode x-pulse I literally felt happy from the inside, of its comfortable riding position, long travel, and butter smooth suspension it felt like sitting in a two-wheeler suv. I bought the white-blue model from the showroom's display. My height is 5"6"-5"7", and I can very well manage it.

Poor Service From RT KRISHNA HERO HOSUR ROAD BANGALORE
1 year ago
S Manjunath
It's a very bad experience With RT KRISHNA HERO Hosur Road. The dealer is cheating and Misguiding the customers they will not take care, and resolve the issues of the bike. My bike got issues like Oil leakage in two weeks. I informed the Dealer but they didn't respond And didn't make any need full after raising the issue 3-4 times. They didn't solve the issue and complaining on Hero Motocorp it's the very worst thing.

Hero Xpulse 200 4V: Balancing Performance and Expectations
30 weeks ago
Harshitha Priya S
After two years and 30,000 kilometres of riding the Hero Xpulse 200 4V, I've developed a nuanced perspective on its capabilities and limitations. While the bike presents itself as a robust adventure tourer, my extended experience reveals a mix of strengths and shortcomings. This review will detail the bike's performance, features, and areas needing improvement, helping prospective buyers make an informed decision.
Specifications and Features :
The Hero Xpulse 200 4V is designed as an adventure tourer and off-road bike, featuring:
Engine: 199.6 cc, oil-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve single-cylinder OHC
Power: 19.17 PS at 8500 rpm
Torque: 17.35 Nm at 6500 rpm
Brakes: Disc brakes both front and rear
Fuel Capacity: 13 liters
Mileage: 51.59 kmpl (claimed in the city), but real-world figures are around 40 kmpl in the city and 45 kmpl on highways.
Body Type: Adventure Tourer and Off-Road Bike
Key features include single-channel ABS, daytime running lights (DRLs), Bluetooth connectivity, multiple riding modes (Road and Off-Road), navigation, an adjustable windshield, and a fully digital instrument cluster.
Performance and Riding Experience :
The Xpulse 200 4V is versatile, performing well on various terrains. Its off-road capabilities are impressive, thanks to a compliant suspension and nimble handling. The bike excels on broken city roads and mountain trails, offering a fun and confident ride. However, its long-distance touring claims come with significant caveats.
City and Off-Road Performance :
In urban settings, the bike's agility and manageable size make it a good commuter. The digital instrument cluster, navigation, and Bluetooth connectivity enhance convenience. The suspension effectively absorbs city bumps, making for a comfortable ride.
Off-road, the Xpulse shines with its torque delivery and gearing. The riding position and handlebar configuration ensure control and comfort, even on challenging trails. The bike's off-road tyres and robust build inspire confidence across varied terrains.
Highway Performance :
On highways, the Xpulse 200 4V can maintain speeds of 120-140kmph comfortably. Beyond this, vibrations become noticeable, particularly on the handlebars. Aftermarket grips and quality riding gloves can mitigate this to some extent. However, the bike struggles with sustained high-speed runs, often overheating and developing engine problems after 150-200 km of continuous riding. This limits its appeal as a long-distance tourer.
Reliability and Maintenance Issues :
Despite its strengths, the Xpulse 200 4V requires significant maintenance. The engine's reliability has been a concern, with issues arising early in long rides. The cooling system is inadequate, leading to overheating and potential engine damage during prolonged use. Additionally, components like the exhaust often produce a "rattler" noise, and parts such as the cone set and racks deteriorate quickly.
Regular maintenance is crucial, but even with diligent care, the bike has experienced multiple breakdowns and trips to the workshop. These reliability issues diminish the overall riding experience and confidence in the bike's long-term performance.
Value for Money :
With an approximate on-road price nearing 3 lakhs, the Xpulse 200 4V falls short of expectations in terms of reliability and long-distance touring capability. While it excels in off-road performance and city commuting, the frequent need for repairs and maintenance detracts from its value proposition. Prospective buyers should weigh these factors, considering the bike's strengths against its significant shortcomings.

However, its limitations become evident during long-distance tours, with reliability and maintenance issues overshadowing its initial appeal. For riders seeking a versatile and affordable off-roader, the Xpulse offers a solid option, but those planning extensive touring may need to look elsewhere or be prepared for higher maintenance demands. While the bike has been a capable companion in many respects, its performance does not fully justify the investment, particularly for long, uninterrupted journeys.

This bike ride was so good. I noticed 3 issues with my bike. 25-30mileage in city. While applying breaks tyres were getting skid. The headlight was a little low. I felt this was my experience in the last 7 months.

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.

Little rocket which fits in pocket

I'm a true lover of adv and adventure tourer bikes all time.
One of my friends brought a xpulse 2v last year, I took some rides on it and I really got impressed with the way it looks, its refinement, ergonomics etc...
But I was a little upset with its 2v engine because its performance was not that much great when compared with other 200cc engines. Then hero introduced xpulse 200 4v, I took a test drive on it too....
Surprisingly the 4v engine was a lot more fun to drive, still, its engine can't compare with other 200cc but it gives absolute fun to drive like experience for us, it's a great offroader machine ( jr triumph tiger ).
Xpulse 200 4v is the most affordable in the market and segment too. With a pocket-friendly servicing and maintenance cost + better fuel consumption (40+kmpl)
Sometimes I think that may xpulse 4v could be a 250cc or higher (mainly when cruising on highways)
And the headlight.... Hero claims that there is a 21percentage better illumination on the new 4v, unfortunately, the headlight still needs a lot of improvement and could give led turn indicators too.
Take test drives before whatever motorcycle you are buying.

Better experience in the city and off-road, the suspension would get better and service should be cheaper As there are very few services outside gears are hard to find, tires are not that accurate
all over bike is better in value and one of the best in pickup. those people who want adventure rides with low budget can consider this!!

While the bike has been a capable companion in many respects, its performance does not fully justify the investment, particularly for long, uninterrupted journeys.

This bike ride was so good. I noticed 3 issues with my bike. 25-30mileage in city. While applying breaks tyres were getting skid. The headlight was a little low. I felt this was my experience in the last 7 months.

Review xpulse

Jitu
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.

Little rocket which fits in pocket

Mubashir
I'm a true lover of adv and adventure tourer bikes all time.
One of my friends brought a xpulse 2v last year, I took some rides on it and I really got impressed with the way it looks, its refinement, ergonomics etc...
But I was a little upset with its 2v engine because its performance was not that much great when compared with other 200cc engines. Then hero introduced xpulse 200 4v, I took a test drive on it too....
Surprisingly the 4v engine was a lot more fun to drive, still, its engine can't compare with other 200cc but it gives absolute fun to drive like experience for us, it's a great offroader machine ( jr triumph tiger ).
Xpulse 200 4v is the most affordable in the market and segment too. With a pocket-friendly servicing and maintenance cost + better fuel consumption (40+kmpl)
Sometimes I think that may xpulse 4v could be a 250cc or higher (mainly when cruising on highways)
And the headlight.... Hero claims that there is a 21percentage better illumination on the new 4v, unfortunately, the headlight still needs a lot of improvement and could give led turn indicators too.
Take test drives before whatever motorcycle you are buying.

Better experience in the city and off-road, the suspension would get better and service should be cheaper As there are very few services outside gears are hard to find, tires are not that accurate
all over bike is better in value and one of the best in pickup. those people who want adventure rides with low budget can consider this!!

This is not just off-road bike it is much more
2 years ago
Mukesh Sharma
1. Buying experience was very smooth, got it in 2 days of prior booking.
2. I use this for daily commute and it is very smooth and comfortable also.
3. Look of bike is awesome, i get a lot in traffic when people stares and say bike is looking good brother.
4. Service and maintenance i will post later.
5. Some pros are
# awesome look
# ground clearance is best
# soccer is best
# bluetooth and navigation feature is helpful
# no unnecessary sound which is very good.
Cons are
# i feel brakes should be more tight.
# headlight covers less distance.
Rest is all good you can go for it.

1. Buying experience:- I want to buy a bike that can do anything, go anywhere, can travel smoothly without any problem on my country's road which is kind of offroad. As it will be my personally own bike I want to keep my budget short near around 1.5 lakhs. I have given many test rides on many bikes but as soon as I rode x-pulse I literally felt happy from the inside, of its comfortable riding position, long travel, and butter smooth suspension it felt like sitting in a two-wheeler suv. I bought the white-blue model from the showroom's display. My height is 5"6"-5"7", and I can very well manage it.

Poor Service From RT KRISHNA HERO HOSUR ROAD BANGALORE
1 year ago
S Manjunath
It's a very bad experience With RT KRISHNA HERO Hosur Road. The dealer is cheating and Misguiding the customers they will not take care, and resolve the issues of the bike. My bike got issues like Oil leakage in two weeks. I informed the Dealer but they didn't respond And didn't make any need full after raising the issue 3-4 times. They didn't solve the issue and complaining on Hero Motocorp it's the very worst thing.

Hero Xpulse 200 4V: Balancing Performance and Expectations
30 weeks ago
Harshitha Priya S
After two years and 30,000 kilometres of riding the Hero Xpulse 200 4V, I've developed a nuanced perspective on its capabilities and limitations. While the bike presents itself as a robust adventure tourer, my extended experience reveals a mix of strengths and shortcomings. This review will detail the bike's performance, features, and areas needing improvement, helping prospective buyers make an informed decision.
Specifications and Features :
The Hero Xpulse 200 4V is designed as an adventure tourer and off-road bike, featuring:
Engine: 199.6 cc, oil-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve single-cylinder OHC
Power: 19.17 PS at 8500 rpm
Torque: 17.35 Nm at 6500 rpm
Brakes: Disc brakes both front and rear
Fuel Capacity: 13 liters
Mileage: 51.59 kmpl (claimed in the city), but real-world figures are around 40 kmpl in the city and 45 kmpl on highways.
Body Type: Adventure Tourer and Off-Road Bike
Key features include single-channel ABS, daytime running lights (DRLs), Bluetooth connectivity, multiple riding modes (Road and Off-Road), navigation, an adjustable windshield, and a fully digital instrument cluster.
Performance and Riding Experience :
The Xpulse 200 4V is versatile, performing well on various terrains. Its off-road capabilities are impressive, thanks to a compliant suspension and nimble handling. The bike excels on broken city roads and mountain trails, offering a fun and confident ride. However, its long-distance touring claims come with significant caveats.
City and Off-Road Performance :
In urban settings, the bike's agility and manageable size make it a good commuter. The digital instrument cluster, navigation, and Bluetooth connectivity enhance convenience. The suspension effectively absorbs city bumps, making for a comfortable ride.
Off-road, the Xpulse shines with its torque delivery and gearing. The riding position and handlebar configuration ensure control and comfort, even on challenging trails. The bike's off-road tyres and robust build inspire confidence across varied terrains.
Highway Performance :
On highways, the Xpulse 200 4V can maintain speeds of 120-140kmph comfortably. Beyond this, vibrations become noticeable, particularly on the handlebars. Aftermarket grips and quality riding gloves can mitigate this to some extent. However, the bike struggles with sustained high-speed runs, often overheating and developing engine problems after 150-200 km of continuous riding. This limits its appeal as a long-distance tourer.
Reliability and Maintenance Issues :
Despite its strengths, the Xpulse 200 4V requires significant maintenance. The engine's reliability has been a concern, with issues arising early in long rides. The cooling system is inadequate, leading to overheating and potential engine damage during prolonged use. Additionally, components like the exhaust often produce a "rattler" noise, and parts such as the cone set and racks deteriorate quickly.
Regular maintenance is crucial, but even with diligent care, the bike has experienced multiple breakdowns and trips to the workshop. These reliability issues diminish the overall riding experience and confidence in the bike's long-term performance.
Value for Money :
With an approximate on-road price nearing 3 lakhs, the Xpulse 200 4V falls short of expectations in terms of reliability and long-distance touring capability. While it excels in off-road performance and city commuting, the frequent need for repairs and maintenance detracts from its value proposition. Prospective buyers should weigh these factors, considering the bike's strengths against its significant shortcomings.

Tips for other riders
The Hero Xpulse 200 4V is a competent off-road bike with several standout features for city commuting and adventure riding. However, its limitations become evident during long-distance tours, with reliability and maintenance issues overshadowing its initial appeal. For riders seeking a versatile and affordable off-roader, the Xpulse offers a solid option, but those planning extensive touring may need to look elsewhere or be prepared for higher maintenance demands. While the bike has been a capable companion in many respects, its performance does not fully justify the investment, particularly for long, uninterrupted journeys.
