Hero Xpulse 210 vs Xpulse 200 4V Spec Comparison: What's Different?

Over three years after its first four-valve oil-cooled motorcycle – the Xpulse 200 4V – was introduced in 2021, Hero MotoCorp went on to work on another Xpulse model, giving it a new heart and instrument cluster. The new Hero Xpulse 210 unveiled at EICMA 2024 proposes to do just that and adopts an off-roader design similar to the Xpulse 200 4V. It has a round LED headlamp, raised front fender, transparent windshield, single-piece seat and sleek tail section, just like the four-valve Xpulse 200. That said, Hero has redesigned the fuel tank and front mudguard to make the bike look more sharp and aggressive. There is also a revised LED taillamp and a more compact exhaust system. 

The biggest update is in the form of the new engine borrowed from the Karizma XMR. The Xpulse 210 uses a 210cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled 4-valve engine mated to a 6-speed gearbox and a slip-and-assist clutch. Compared to the 199cc oil-cooled single-cylinder engine of the 200 4V, the liquid-cooled engine promises more power and better riding capabilities.
