Just one point I would like to highlight in xpulse is, As a short rider myself it was so hard to maneuver the bike in off road and I would always drop the bike as it was too much weight.When standing in the ground holding my bike still with my bike on the right, when I slightly lean the bike to the left, it was hard to manage the weight of the bike. Then I asked myself since it's a naked bike why it's too much weight and i found the culprit was the fuel tank 😢. I don't know why metal was used for the fuel tank. Instead of metal, like other bikes if they have used plastic gas tanks it would have been great, since the tank is made of metal with full tank fuel adding more weight and too much weight at top makes the center of gravity high and thus the bike was so hard to handle off road for short riders. maybe it's not hard for tall riders but anyway it's a minus point. Since I'm a short rider and the bike is too high, when coming to a stop I would shift my body to the right and lean the bike little right to place my foot on the ground 😂 and adding weight to the top is making it difficult to handle the bike, I think they used metal fuel tank to bring the retro style in the xpulse😅. And guys it's just my opinion, I may have made some mistake too because I may lack the skills to handle the bike 😂, You can crt me if I'm wrong 😊. 👍
I'm thinking of buying the Xpulse 200T 4V E20 version and then replace the stock tyres with off-road tubeless tyres (particularly the Apollo XR Radial Tyres) on it. Would it be a better choice compared to the regular offroad Xpulse 200? My uses are for daily commute and weekend rides on curvy roads and some occasional hilly off-roading adventures.
I own a xpulse 200T. The road version. I'm really satisfied with it. The ergonomics and suspension are really good. I can munch miles on it. But I want to upgrade it with Himalayan in future. Should I? Help me out.

So true. 100% agree with this. The rally pro is even more capable. Suspension travel and ground clearance is just on another level.
Been a happy user since 2022!

Don't go with Himalayan as of now. The chassis breaking issue is there in this bike. I've uploaded a video on it.
Absolute damn correct
Agreed
More balance 🚶
Anyways roads are offroads only with lot of pot holes.
