Visually, the new XPulse 200 4V gets an updated headlamp with better illumination and spread owing to customer complaints about poor visibility on the older model. The footpegs have been lowered by 35 mm so that the rider can control the motorcycle better while riding it standing, as claimed by Hero. The USB charging port on the adventure tourer is now located beside the instrument cluster instead of underneath the seat. The manufacturer has also updated the switchgear and instrument cluster, which now displays real-time fuel efficiency. Other changes include a taller visor (60 mm longer), updated handguards, and a new luggage rack.
The new XPulse’s 200 cc 4-valve oil-cooled engine is now both, OBD-II and E20 compliant, and churns out 18.83 bhp at 8000 rpm and 17.35 Nm at 6500 rpm. Although the motorcycle still features single-channel ABS, Hero has now equipped it with three ABS modes. Road mode is the default mode with standard ABS intervention, followed by Off-Road mode with reduced intervention when riding off-road. And lastly, Rally mode which turns off ABS completely.
