New Hero XPulse 210 ADV Spotted for the First Time in India, Gets Karizma XMR's Engine

Hero MotoCorp launched the 2023 iteration of the Xpulse 200 4V in May 2023, with prices starting at Rs 1.44 lakh for the base version and topping out at Rs 1.51 lakh for the Pro version. Prices are ex-showroom, Delhi. Since the Xpulse 200 is currently the brand's most successful bike in the premium range, Hero is stretching itself and is preparing to launch the second-generation Xpulse in the Indian market. According to a first set of spy shots, we can say that the company has already begun work on the development of its new Xpulse 210 adventure bike, which is expected to go on sale in 2024. Just a day ago, a pre-production prototype was spied on undisguised in the country. Despite the camouflage, there are some details that are partially visible. From what we saw, it was evident that the next-generation Xpulse 210 used the same body and componentry as the existing Xpulse 200 4V to keep manufacturing costs in check. However, it remains to be seen whether the Xpulse 210 is offered with the same chassis or not. 

Looks like Hero is testing the bigger Xpulse somewhere in the mountains. The project will go sometime next year and we cannot wait to see it in flesh!

BTW, can you identify the second camo motorcycle? ????????????@HeroMotoCorp

Hero XPulse 210 ADV: Engine and Gearbox

Coming to the heart of the matter, the new Hero XPulse 210 ADV will receive a more powerful liquid-cooled DOHC engine, which might make a difference in its performance. This new liquid-cooled engine, which is one of the Hero's firsts, powers the recently launched Hero Karizma XMR. For reference, a 210cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine on the Karizma makes about 25bhp (25.5 PS) at 9,250rpm and 20.4Nm of peak torque at 7,250rpm (highest in its class). On offer is a 6-speed gearbox unit, accompanied by a slip and assist clutch.

To give you an idea, the Hero XPulse 200 4V is available in two variants – base and Pro. The base model gets the same hardware as its predecessor, while the Pro variant features a fully adjustable 250mm front and 220mm rear suspension, a taller seat height, 270mm ground clearance, an extended gear lever, and a handlebar riser. Also available with the current Xpulse are three ABS modes – Road, Off-Road, and Rally.

Hero XPulse 210 ADV: Expected Price

In the Indian market, the Xpulse 200 4V starts at Rs 1.44 lakh and goes up to Rs 1.51 lakh (ex-showroom). Expect the new Xpulse 210 to command a premium of about Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000.
