- Both share the same 200cc engine, but have different riding ergonomics
- Expected to be priced around Rs 1.10 lakh
Hero MotoCorp has confirmed that its 200cc XPulse ADV, along with the new XPulse 200T will be launched in India by early 2019. The XPulse 200T was showcased at this year’s EICMA along with four new concepts based on the 200cc ADV including a scrambler, desert tracker, flat tracker and cafe racer.
The XPulse 200T is a softer touring variant of the XPulse 200 and as such gets touring friendly ergonomic updates in the form of revised suspension setting and a shorter handlebar. The rider sits 30mm lower on the 200T compared to the standard XPulse. This, we feel, could be due to the suspension having a lower travel. It sports a conventional road-focussed design and misses out on the high-set mudguard and knobby tyres of the standard XPulse 200. You also get a conventional exhaust instead of a high-mounted unit. Other than that, the design and features like LED headlamp and taillamp, digital instrument console with turn-by-turn navigation and a single-channel ABS are carried over.
Both bikes are powered by the same 200cc air-cooled and fuel-injected, single-cylinder motor mated to a five-speed gearbox. It makes 18.7PS of power and 17.1Nm of torque. Both carry the same underpinnings as well. While both get conventional front forks and rear monoshock, they are expected to be set up differently as the intended use is different. Both get disc brakes on both wheels and a single-channel ABS.

Hero XPulse 200 4V User Reviews
- comfortable for off road and cityI’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 More4 5

- Great, But if you add on a bit extra to stock bikeBike 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 More2 3
- Hero x pulse 200 4V review after 22000 kmsI 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 More6 3
- Best choice for Bad Roads and Daily Use.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 More3 3
