Suzuki has launched the 2022 DR150 in Colombia. And the only update it has received for 2022 is the new paint scheme. While the DR150 keeps the Colombian crowd entertained, we have the XPulse 200 4V in the same segment. So, let’s compare the two off-roaders in detailed images.
The 2022 Suzuki DR150 is pretty much barebones in terms of design. It’s a slim bike with rugged bodywork and seems ready to plough dirt. Not to mention, the halogen headlight and the tall front fender reminds us of the long gone Hero Impulse. As for the Hero XPulse, it too features minimal body panels and a tall stance. However, it gets an LED headlight with DRL and is topped by a transparent windscreen.

Suzuki has equipped it with an LCD instrument cluster and that’s all there is to the DR150 on the features front. Meanwhile, the Hero XPulse 200 4V gets a fully digital LCD with Bluetooth compatibility. It lets you access turn-by-turn navigation and phone calls as well.
Powering the Suzuki DR150 is a 149cc air-cooled single-cylinder motor with the output rated at 12.3PS and 12.7Nm. The Hero XPulse 200 4V, on the other hand, uses a larger, 199.6cc motor that dishes out 19.1PS and 17.35Nm.
Both bikes get a single-piece seat and an upswept exhaust.
The DR150 is sprung by a gaitered telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock. The XPulse 200 4V too gets the same setup.
Braking hardware for the Suzuki DR150 consists of a front disc brake and a rear drum setup. The XPulse 200 uses front and rear discs with single-channel ABS.
The DR150 gets a 12.5-litre fuel tank and weighs 139kg. On the other hand, Hero has equipped the XPulse with a 13-litre tank and it tips the scales at 158kg.
Lastly, the Suzuki DR150 rolls on a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear spoked wheel, whereas the XPulse 200 gets a 21-inch front and an 18-inch rear spoked wheel.
In Colombia, the Suzuki DR150 is priced at COP 91,40,000 (approximately Rs 1.72 lakh, without taxes) and the Hero XPulse 200 4V retails for Rs 1,28,150 (ex-showroom Delhi). So, the XPulse 200 is a clear winner as it costs less and gets better off-road credentials and more features too.
Hero XPulse 200 4V User Reviews
I’ve been using this bike for the last 3 years, and overall, I’m very happy with it. It’s a great choice for both city rides and off-roading. The mileage and maintenance costs are good, and the suspension is excellent for potholes and rough Indian roads. The main drawbacks are engine heating during hilly rides and some fatigue on rides over 200 km in a day. Overall, a comfortable, reliable, and capable off-road bike. I haven’t faced any major issues in 3 years. I'll rate it 5/5.Read More
Fabulous bike for people who commutes daily and also for long rides. This bike goes everywhere, does everything. Great mileage, works great on highways and off roads. Top speed of this bike is 130 kmph. Comfortable to ride, easy to handle in traffic. This bike have all good features. Must buy and comes under budget also. ABS also works like a charm of this bike. Must recommended.Read More
Bike is really good, if you choose to ride a stock vehicle, you might feel a bit comfortable, but if you get some accessories on it, it will be your friend for life. Just like i have added accessories like, seat modification with extra foam, handle bar riser, Fog light(for sure), Center stand, Top rack with back rest.Read More
I am five eleven and it suits me for my height. Comfort of a rider not a pillion and mileage is a plus for this bike. Maintenance cost is also very good and cheap you can get service done from any of the authorised hero service centres. I have been driving since almost twenty two thousand kilometres so far and im fully satisfied with the performance of this bike. I just changed chain socket and fuel motor in the fuel tank. Ride comfort is very good for rider not for pillion thats only negative. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike to those who have height above five eight. I am driving this bike since two thousand twenty two and no major faults or damages done to bike. I am fully satisfied with this bike.Read More
I chose Hero Xpulse 200 4V for its comfort on bad roads while still being easy to ride daily. The suspension works great on potholes, the engine is smooth for city rides, and maintenance stays affordable. Ride quality has been comfortable so far, especially on rough roads. Mileage is decent for daily use, handling feels light and confident, and while top speed isn't aggressive it's stable and relaxed at cruising speeds. Yess -- I'd recommend it for daily riders who want comfort on rough roads, easy handling in traffic, good mileage and reliable performance. Not ideal if you want high speed or aggressive sport riding.Read More
