- New XPulse 210 will make 25bhp
- Will borrow underpinnings from Karizma
- XPulse 400 project delayed by a few years
Just yesterday, we got you the picture of the next-generation XPulse. This new motorcycle will be built around a new platform and will make its official debut next year.
The next-generation XPulse 210 will be built around the same chassis and engine that is seen on the Karizma XMR. While the majority of the design elements will be carried forward from the current generation of XPulse 200, the mechanical and cycle parts of the new XPulse will be brand new.
Over the years, XPulse 200 has managed to attract a lot of riders from various age brackets. The current 200cc engine is oil-cooled and makes 19bhp of peak power. This bike performs quite well in city conditions but loses breath when ridden on the highways. So the new 210cc liquid-cooled engine will address this issue as this motor makes 25bhp and 20.4Nm of maximum torque. This motor is also mated to a six-speed gearbox.
Hero MotoCorp believes that the Indian market will respond well to the XPulse 210 and as a result of that, it is betting big on this upgrade. The official launch is likely to take place in early 2025 with a substantial price increase. Interestingly, there is still no official information on the XPulse 400 or its launch plan, but according to our sources, this project has been delayed by a few years.
