A camouflaged, production-ready Xpulse 421 was spied alongside the Hero Dakar bike at Khardungla Pass, Ladakh.

The spied bike looks bigger and more muscular than the Xpulse 210.

It has an upswept exhaust, a tall, smoked windscreen and knuckle guards, making it look more adventure-ready.

It rides on 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels.

Suspension duties will be handled by a non-adjustable USD fork and a linked monoshock.

It has a TFT console with Bluetooth connectivity.

It will have a riding mode with dedicated button

For safety, it could have switchable dual-channel ABS and switchable traction control.

It will get cruise control, with switchgear similar to the Glamour X 125

It could be launched early next year.

It’s expected to be priced between Rs 2.85 lakh and Rs 3 lakh (ex-showroom).
