Hero MotoCorp revealed the eagerly awaited Xpulse 210 at EICMA, bringing exciting upgrades to the dual-sport lineup. While it is surprising that the company chose not to give it the new 250 cc engine, lets see what the company has actually offered in detail. The Xpulse 210 has been in development for quite some time, and it’s now ready to hit the market. Here’s a look at its key features and upgrades. The pricing for the Xpulse 210 is expected to be around the 1.6 lakh ex-showroom mark.

New Hero Xpulse 210 Engine and Performance
At the heart of the Xpulse 210 is a robust 210cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine that produces 24.6 bhp and 20.7 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox. The increase in engine displacement and the addition of a sixth gear make this bike well-suited for highway cruising and higher-speed riding, giving riders a bit more punch in the higher rev range. It definitely is a better version than what is was. However we are curious as to whether this high revving engine has made it less capable off the road.
New Hero Xpulse 210 Modern Features and Connectivity
The Xpulse 210 keeps up with modern expectations, featuring full LED lighting for better visibility and a 4.2-inch TFT display. This advanced console offers smartphone connectivity and multiple readouts including speedometer, odometer, tachometer, and a gear position indicator, enhancing the bike’s tech appeal. Regarding the actual brightness of the headlight, we will have to wait to test it out in the real world. Our past experience with LED lights coming as stock does not inspire confidence.
