While the good sales number of the XPulse 200 can be partially chalked down to its newness, a major reason would be its low retail price. At Rs 97,000 for the carb variant and Rs 1.05 lakh for the FI variant, the XPulse 200 is the most affordable adventure bike you can buy in India. It is also around Rs 76,000 more affordable than the Himalayan. Another reason is that enthusiasts who have been waiting for a more powerful Hero Impulse now finally has an option in the form of the XPulse 200.
