Attention, fellow bike enthusiasts! Prepare to rev up your excitement as Hero MotoCorp has launched the revamped XPulse 200 4V for 2023, featuring a plethora of fresh upgrades and the arrival of the all-new Pro variant.
Price
The new Pro variant, packed with even more features, can be yours for Rs 1,50,891 (ex-showroom). Meanwhile, the Standard variant receives a modest increase of Rs 4,750, bringing its new price to Rs 1,43,516 (all prices, ex-showroom).
2023 Hero XPulse 200 4V – What’s New?
- The XPulse 200 4V now boasts an upgraded 199.5cc air-cooled engine that complies with OBD 2 and E20 norms. Although the power output remains unchanged at 19.1PS and 17.35Nm, the peak power is now available at 500rpm earlier in the rev range, delivering a more thrilling ride.
- Hero has also introduced three ABS-based riding modes: Road, Off-road and Rally. However, it still misses out on the dual-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS).
- In Road mode, the ABS will work with full intervention. Switch to Off-road mode for reduced ABS intervention on gravel and sandy terrain. Finally, the Rally mode unleashes the thrill by potentially disabling ABS intervention entirely.
- The entry-level adventure bike also receives a new LED projector headlamp with H-shaped LED DRLs for better illumination.
- The front visor is now taller by 60mm to provide slightly better wind buffeting for a smoother journey.
- The USB charging socket has been relocated closer to the console, ensuring easier access.
- The switchgear has also been revamped, providing a refreshed and improved user experience.
- Hero has also redesigned the knuckle guards for better protection.
- With the footpegs positioned 35mm lower and 8mm rear set, the riding position has also been improved for more comfort and better control.
