Hero MotoCorp has officially opened bookings for its all-new Xpulse 210, launched earlier in January 2025 at the Bharat Mobility Expo. With a fresh design, upgraded engine, and improved equipment list, the Xpulse 210 takes a big leap forward from its predecessor, the Xpulse 200 4V. Here’s everything you need to know.
Booking
Interested riders can now book the Xpulse 210 at a token amount of Rs. 10,000. If you’re already an Xpulse 200 owner, the booking amount is even lower at Rs. 7,000. What’s good is that the booking fee is fully refundable—no strings attached. That gives potential buyers some peace of mind while they decide.
Variants
The Xpulse 210 is available in two variants:
- Base Variant: Priced at Rs. 1.76 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Top Variant: Priced at Rs. 1.86 lakh (ex-showroom)
The price difference brings a noticeable change in features and overall equipment levels.

Design
Although the stance of the Xpulse 210 may remind you of the Xpulse 200, Hero has redesigned everything. From the headlamp and front fender to the fuel tank, radiator shrouds, and rear section—it’s all new. The bike now looks more like a purpose-built dual-sport motorcycle. It has a more muscular and rugged appeal, ideal for off-road adventuring and long-distance touring.
Engine
The heart of the Xpulse 210 is a new 210cc liquid-cooled engine that shares its roots with the Karizma XMR. However, Hero has made key modifications to suit the Xpulse’s dual-sport personality. These changes include:
- Revised intake and exhaust setup
- Different cooling configuration
- A unique ECU map
- Four additional teeth on the rear sprocket for better low-end torque
The engine makes 24.2bhp and 20.7Nm and is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. That means smoother downshifts and more control on tricky terrain.
Performance
In terms of performance, the Xpulse 210 has taken a clear step up from the 200 4V. With a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheel setup, it offers better ground clearance and suspension travel. However, it is slightly heavier than before, with a kerb weight of 168kg—9kg more than the Xpulse 200.
That said, the added weight comes with better equipment and a more versatile riding experience, especially off-road.
The Xpulse 210 feels like a more complete adventure motorcycle now—offering the kind of versatility that’s ideal for weekend trail runs, daily commuting, or even long-distance rides with some luggage strapped on.
