Hero MotoCorp has opened bookings for its much-anticipated Xpulse 210, following its grand launch at the Bharat Mobility Expo in January 2025. With an advance booking amount of Rs. 10,000—Rs. 7,000 for existing Xpulse 200 owners—this refundable deposit makes it easier for enthusiasts to secure their ride. Available in two variants, Base and Top, the motorcycle is priced at Rs. 1.76 lakh and Rs. 1.86 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively. Designed as a true dual-sport motorcycle, the Xpulse 210 offers new design elements, improved features, and enhanced performance over its predecessor.
Design
The Hero Xpulse 210 has been developed from the ground up, sharing little with the Xpulse 200 4V. While the overall stance remains similar, every body panel has been redesigned. The new model features an updated headlamp, front fender, fuel tank, radiator cowl, and tail section, making it look more like a purpose-built off-road machine. The taller windscreen, knuckle guards, and rear luggage rack (on the Top variant) add to its rugged appeal.
Features
Hero MotoCorp has differentiated the two variants with distinct features. The Top variant comes loaded with a 4.2-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, dual-channel ABS, a tall windscreen, knuckle guards, and a rear luggage rack. Meanwhile, the Base variant is equipped with a simpler LCD console, a smaller flyscreen, and single-channel ABS. It also misses out on the knuckle guards and luggage rack, making it a more budget-friendly option.
Engine
At the heart of the Xpulse 210 lies a 210cc, liquid-cooled engine derived from the Karizma XMR. However, Hero has made multiple modifications, including a revised cooling system, a different intake and exhaust setup, and an adjusted engine map. The motorcycle also gets four extra teeth on the rear sprocket, enhancing its off-road capability. This engine churns out 24.2 bhp and 20.7 Nm of torque and is paired with a six-speed gearbox featuring a slipper clutch for smoother downshifts.
Performance
The Xpulse 210 is built for adventure, and Hero has equipped it with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheel setup, providing excellent off-road stability. The suspension travel and ground clearance have been increased compared to the Xpulse 200 4V, making it even more capable on rough terrain. However, with a kerb weight of 168 kg, it is 9 kg heavier than the previous model. Despite this, the new gearing and engine enhancements promise a more engaging ride experience.
Pricing and Booking
The Xpulse 210 is priced competitively at Rs. 1.76 lakh for the Base variant and Rs. 1.86 lakh for the Top variant (both ex-showroom). Bookings are now open with a refundable deposit of Rs. 10,000, while existing Xpulse 200 owners can avail of a discounted booking price of Rs. 7,000.
Hero has stepped up its game with the Xpulse 210, making it a compelling choice for adventure riders. With a host of upgrades, improved performance, and a fresh design, it looks set to dominate the dual-sport segment. For those who love off-road riding or long-distance touring, the Xpulse 210 is a worthy contender.
