Hero XPulse 421 vs Suzuki V-Strom SX

PROS : 1- Reliability will never let you down. 2-highway stability cruise comfortably at 90 kmph 3- It has a long seat so perfect if you have a pillion 4- fuel economy is 38-40 on the highway 5- light weight around 166kgs 6- comfort seat is surprisingly comfortable CONS : 1- Vibrations after 110kmph 2- breaks could be improved 3- instrument cluster is dead,

I have owned this bike for almost more than 2 years and the experience is too good till date people turn and see the bike the yellow colour is so eye catchy and the over design too good the seat comfort according to me best in the segment the amount of seat you get for pillion there are little issues with vibrations of the front side of the bike near the meter area other than the performance and the high gear low rpm pickup is super the bike gives alot confidence at high speeds and while cornering and the price we get this bike in is the best compared to others overall i love this bike and would recommend each and everyone if you don’t have the budget for ktm or bmw you can go for this bike blindly.

It is a very amazing bike budget friendly with a good power. With a good milage in this price range iwith the best comfort I specially like it’s raw power in street you can look for it if you need a good matchine. I personally like it’s looks as compared to other bikes in this price range are not good

मैं इस गाड़ी को पिछले 6 महीने से चला रहा हूं और मैं कह सकता हूं कि इस मूल्य में इस तरीके की मोटरसाइकिल आपको नहीं मिल पाएगी!!! अच्छा इंजन, अच्छी राइड क्वालिटी, कम मेंटेनेंस और अच्छा माइलेज!!! शहर के अंदर हो या फिर ग्रामीण सड़कों पर सुजुकी vस्ट्रोम हर तरीके से एक अच्छी मोटरसाइकिल है भारतीय कंडीशंस के लिए यह एक सम्यक वाहन है

My bike is 7 months old and already completed a mileage of 15000 kms. Parts Replaced- Changed 2 front brake pads(₹750 apprx without labour charge), 1 rear brake pad(₹850 apprx without labour charge). Changed one chain sprocket(₹4100 with labour charges), generally the chain sprocket lasts 15,000-17,000kms.Every 500 kms you need to do chain lube and every 1000kms chain clean(recommended- Motul/Suzuki ) In 10,000 kms - Spark plug + Air filter change . In 12,500 kms-15,000kms- Front suspension Oil change(cost- apprx-₹2000 with labour charges). Additional - I have fitted Zana Front Guard with glider(not recommended) can use Moto Torque with extending glider Zana Back foot rest-(fully recommended) Zana Side stand extender(fully recommended) Fuel Efficiency - City- 27-28kmpl Highway- 30kmpl Have always used suzuki engine oil and almost all works done in suzuki service centre. High maintenance if you are having high usage but very comfortable! My longest ride is 480kms and didn't felt any pain in the whole body. Must buy if you are looking for a budget adventure tourer.(Haven't off road though)
