Here’s a list of similarly-priced options if you’d rather ride on the road than off it
Having got the important launch of the Xtreme 160R out of the way recently, Hero has now finally launched the XPulse 200 BS6 at Rs 1,11,790. But if an off-road motorcycle isn’t quite your cup of tea, here are some similarly priced options that you can buy to ride on the road:
Suzuki Gixxer
If you’re going to be sticking to tarmac, then why not get something like a nice 150cc or 160cc streetfighter? One of the most popular options on the market is the neat-looking Suzuki Gixxer, priced at Rs 1,13,941. Since its update last year, it sports some smart neo-retro design language and is very well proportioned too. Despite meeting BS6 emission norms, its 155cc air-cooled motor churns out a healthy 13.6PS and 13.8Nm.
Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220
The weekend explorer within you will be kept plenty happy with a cruiser like the Bajaj Avenger. In this Cruise 220 avatar, it packs in the grunty 220cc twin-spark motor from the Pulsar 220, meaning output figures of 19.03PS and 17.55Nm. It’s also got very relaxed ergonomics and a long, low profile which makes it look like a shrunken Harley.
Honda XBlade
Another very stylish option in the 160cc range is the recently launched Honda XBlade BS6. It gets the same all-new air-cooled 159.7cc motor as the Unicorn BS6, but in a far more attractive and modern-looking package. Complete with the signature X-shaped tail lamp, the XBlade even packs in features like LED lighting and digital instrumentation. It can be all yours for Rs 1,10,968 for the top-of-the-line Dual Disc variant.
Revolt RV400
It’s 2020, so why not forget about emission norms altogether and buy yourself an electric motorcycle instead! The Revolt RV400 comes with 4G connectivity, AI capabilities and you can even make it produce four different engine sounds as you ride along. And yes, it can be made completely silent as well, don’t worry. The MRP subscription schemes are pretty attractive, but if you want to buy the RV400 up front, it’ll cost you Rs 1,03,000.
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
