Hero Motocorp Xpulse 200 2V Discontinued? Model Removed from Website

The Hero Xpulse 200 2V, comparatively more reasonable than the Hero Xpulse 200 4V, is nowhere to be seen on Hero Motocorp's official website. 

The Hero Xpulse 200 2V is no longer listed on Hero Motocorp's website. Speculations are going on that the manufacturer has finally replaced the Hero Xpulse 200 2V with the recently introduced Hero Xpulse 200 4V by delisting it from the website, which further hints at its discontinuation in India.

Hero Motocorp is yet to officially confirm the discontinuation of the Hero Xpulse 200 2V. Reportedly, the firm is expected to introduce the Xpulse 400 sometime in late 2023 with an engine that is bigger in terms of capacity. If launched, this expected motorcycle will probably compete with the likes of the KTM 390 Adventure and the Royal Enfield Himalayan.
