Exploring the Dakar-Inspired XPulse 200 Range
The new product range is built on a “Limitless Adventure” philosophy, aiming to mix rugged capability, everyday practicality, and modern rider tech into an affordable package. Both the XPulse 200 4V and XPulse 200 Pro share a core set of features engineered for endurance:
- Adventure-Tuned Engine: At the heart of the series is a 199.6cc, four-stroke, four-valve, single-cylinder oil-cooled engine. It is designed to deliver a strong low-end response, confident mid-range performance, and dependable touring capability.
- Power and Torque: The motor produces 18.9 BHP at 8,500 RPM and 17.35 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM. This serves up a balanced blend of rideability for daily commuting and long-distance adventure riding.
- Chassis & Gearbox: A refined 5-speed constant-mesh manual gearbox handles the power, while an advanced oil-cooling setup keeps things reliable on challenging trails.
- Adaptive Braking: Cyclists can choose between three ABS modes—Road, Off-Road, and Rally—to adjust the braking intervention based on the terrain.
- Connected Cockpit: The rally-inspired layout features a modern LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation.
- Upgraded Lighting: A Class-D LED projector headlamp with LED DRLs brings 230% more light intensity for much better visibility during night rides.
- Ready for the Trail: Straight from the showroom, each bike comes fitted with a bash plate, handguards, and a robust luggage plate with integrated bungee hooks.
