| Adjustable suspension (Forks and monoshock) | Rs 25,000 |
| Maxxis rally spec tyres | Rs 10,000 |
| Flat seat | Rs 2,500 |
| Handlebar risers | Rs 500 |
The rally kit changes the XPulse 200 from a serious off-roader to a hardcore one. While the stock motorcycle has 190mm front and 170mm rear suspension travel, the kit comes with fully-adjustable suspension with 250mm front and 220mm rear travel. This upgrade also increases the ground clearance to 275mm! Hero offers a longer side stand to compensate for the increase in ground clearance. Also included in the kit are Maxxis rally-spec knobbies that should help tame the muddiest of terrains. Other updates include a flatter and taller rally seat, handlebar risers for a more upright riding stance and a longer gear lever to accommodate adventure boots.

What’s not on offer is the Akrapovic exhaust setup and a larger chain sprocket set consisting of 12 and 40 teeth. The Akrapovic has been dropped due to its high cost but Hero is developing an aftermarket exhaust for the XPulse 200. According to Hero, the new drive ratios would need homologation as per Indian automotive laws. The company is working on it and could offer the larger sprocket set at a later stage.
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
