The new Hero Xpulse 200 4V, with its updated engine and gear ratios, promises better mid-range and top-end performance. Do you think these changes make it a better highway performer? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Looks like they still can't decide whether to make it a touring bike or just offroading adventure bike... Damn ..our market expects everything from one single package..
I would buy one and make it a supermoto. Put 17inch wheels front and back, reduce the weight by removing all the bits that are used offroad or for touring. I think it would make a good supermoto. But For now, I am stuck with the Apache rtr 160 4v that I bought recently. How is the build quality of hero, is it better than tvs?
Hi sir.....please give some info about pillion seat & ride experience ...especially for long rides.....I am planning to buy one ..... & Is this bike good to ride with luggage also...?
Just changing the downtube chassis with a Steel twin-tube will make a whole different experience to riding this motorcycle. The use of high-strength steel gives the bike extremely high strength, making it three times as stable as aluminum. As a result, the use of a much thinner chassis can produce the weight difference between the two materials steel and aluminum will below and can be compensated. it's a KTM secret by the way...
I am 5' 6" and 60 years young...... will this be a sagacious choice for my planned all India, Nepal, Bhutan tour 🤔 I am bit sceptical about it's height...!!
I had to lookup what Sagacious meant lol. I'm 5.7 and I was able to handle it well though I couldn't flat foot but I was never uncomfortable. I'd also highly suggest to get a test ride
My good sir I used to have qualms about tall saddles as well, then one day I saw a 11 year old expertly drive an adv 390. Never looked back since, it's all about desire perspective confidence and balance.
Sir u may test ride the bike over whatever off road conditions u can or onto ditches for maneuvering.. if the bike speaks to you.. u can later shave the foam a bit with a Good seat maker ( even an inch or two cms will add to your comfort) and use an air cushion like Ride on Air etc.
Now hero landed here in the Philippines. Recently they opened a new manufacturing plant here and I'm happy purchasing the xpulse 200 av it's a good bike and the price is very reasonable for 140,000 pesos. Hoping for more indian motorcycle brand flood the Philippine market we already had tvs,bajaj and now hero 👏 👏 👏
Very well articulated Vikrant! Just love how you explain everything clearly while covering all the necessary topics. I always keep coming back to Bikewale to hear your reviews. Well done sire, keep up the great work! Purchasing the Xpulse 4V without a doubt, best motorcycle for Indian roads and newbies at a reasonable price :))
I was lucky to try this bike on our way to tezpur... 120 kms i was literally cursing this bike for i could hardly catch up with my friends who were riding apaches (200) But the rest 60 kms was the other way round (the roads were terrible infact most places there were no roads just loose gravel)...i have never seen a bike with just a robust shocks...i was hardly closing the throttle at some instances yet she took everything without any issues.. Makes other expensive bikes look like overkill...🤣🤣
This bike has the greatest suspension system in this segment. Hands down the most plushest ride quality in India atm. Hero has knocked it out of the park with this one!
Bro will it be a good dcsn to go for xpulse 200 4v? I also have to travel from Guwahati to Tezpur/Itanagar once or twice in a month. Will it be a suitable dcsn to go with xpulse? & What about pillion comfort when it comes to long tour?
@@rupamdas7324 i have done Guwahati to tezpur to tawang with bs6 2v. I would say this would be a perfect bike for you but always test ride before you confirm.
@@kunjannirvikar1453 it struggles. I did about 500km over 24 hours on this bike with a pillion and a 10kg bag. We were about 250kg combined. In broken roads of yangyang route from Lachung to pelling(sikkim), my pillion had to get down twice for the bike to climb. So, not a great choice if you are going off-road or broken hilly roads with a pillion.
In India maximum people's height around 5Feet and below and in Nepal more people are buying Expulse 200 4V compared to India. In India 200CC buyers are less compared to Nepal
You're the best person for Xpulse motorcycles promotion🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️ HERO Xpulse motorcycles are endorsing by BSF and it's certainly a very good motorcycles.HERO Xpulse 200T also made available for ready purchase because now a days people in India are preferring 200 cc motorcycles for better commuting
Guess it does 60 kmph speed at 4000 rpm which translates to 90 kmph at 6000 rpm. Peak torque is made at 6500 rpm which means that on 5th gear it would be doing around 97 kmph which is the most efficient operating rpm of this engine.
bro are you seeing any vibration in the bike after 90km speed like royal enfield classic? or you didnt see any vibration in the bike after 110 km speed also ?
I would like to use two people for 2 or 3 hour nature trips in the city and on the weekends, can you recommend 2 people both in the city and in the lowland slopes as vibration, heat, fuel, saddle, can you write the positive and negative aspects of 4 V, thank you.
Most reviewers incl here, have missed out on the seating discomfort on long rides... My 4V is a little over 2months and 2500km old and i am still wondering how to sort out the torturous seat for long rides... Wondering if i shd dispose it for a better choice, just on this count
Hello Vikrant, how about the seat cushioning & comfort for city & while touring?? Is the stock one okay? Or do we need after market work done for that seat??
I think the Xpulse is fantastic for commuting. It’s fuel efficient when ridden with a light throttle. You can out your feet down easily if you are five feet seven inches and above. And no matter what the road is like, it always remains comfortable. It’s not the best commute tool if you like filtering like a Ninja, but otherwise, it’s pretty spot on.
@@vikrantsingh6916vikarnt sir , then which is the best one to cut through traffic like a ninja, with a balanced suspension , except for like KTM , your thoughts please ?

Benelli should have low end torque and good weight centralisation - I am basing this on my experience with the TRK 502. But, i still feel the KTM would make a nicer bike offroad. Having said that, it would be best to wait and see.
No it's not happy at that speed on 3rd. You'll have to be on 2nd gear at most. On 1st it would be even better, so you can quickly shift to 2nd and get the acceleration

For those who are comfortable to cruise around 80-90 kmph for touring, it's definitely a tourer. If one is considering to cruise above 100 kmph, why would they look at puny 200 cc bike? Obviously, they should be looking at above 250 cc segment.

One way to increase your height is to select a riding boots with good amount of heel thickness to suite your comfy hight .

Awesome review Vikrant as always
Good review sir. Kindly make a video on 350 cc Honda & 350 cc Enfield.
Just a query, as u felt the perfect cruising speed is 95 to 100 what was it as per U in the earlier bs6 model
Can i use this bike as a daily commuter ??
Best adventure bike of segment
I don’t know about ‘Adventure’, but as a bike for both on and offroad use, yes its brilliant.
Is it a good tourer
I just bought it a week ago.. I feel weird vibrations near the leg rest section.. is it normal?
Very comprehensive review
Thank you Aylwin!
Waiting for my bike 💞❤
Congratulations!
Xpulse could beat every adv with more powerful engine.
Hero should lauch a 500 to 800 cc version that will crush every adv in the Market.
bruhh that practically sounds like too musch for hero they can try for an 400cc but def not more than that

I sat on the bike at IBW, seat comfort seemed nice... And the suspensions are a sure fun, Cream Roll! 😀
Seat cushioning and comfort - even with my weight of 85kg - wasn’t a problem. But if you want, you can always add a layer of foam later.
RTR 200 4V or this X pulse 200 4V
Which is better decision to buy?

What would you suggest for a 5000 meter altitude? Fuel injected or carburetor ?
Injected
What colour gives the best feelings for off-road and city as well..?
White
Well, you say that “ear plugs certainly helped”. I wonder how you can say that it is now good for touring if you need ear plugs!
