EICMA is the stage to watch out for if two-wheelers interest you and the upcoming show promised to be big. There are motorcycles from various manufacturers, including Hero MotoCorp. The world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer is gearing up to showcase the updated Xpulse 210 and has dropped a teaser about the same, hinting at its design.
Hero Xpulse 210: Design and features
Going by the teaser, the Xpulse seems to retain its off-road-focused design with minimal bodywork but does get an updated design. The teaser reveals the familiar round headlight setup with a tall windscreen, a large fuel tank, LED lighting and turn indicators, and more. The front fender design seems much sharper than the current model.
There is also a TFT dash on the new Xpulse 210 and the display seems well laid out. It showcases speed, rpm, fuel, and engine temperature, while the left part of the screen shows the gear position and possibly the ride mode or the ABS mode. The dash will have phone connectivity and the motorcycle will get dual-channel ABS that can be turned off for off-roading.
Hero Xpulse 210: Engine specs
The engine was a letdown with the current generation model as most riders wanted more power. Hero has finally addressed that with the new Xpulse by using the 210cc engine from the Karizma XMR. The engine makes a healthy 25bhp of power and 20Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
The motorcycle will be revealed at EICMA in the coming days and is expected to go on sale early next year in India. When launched, the Xpulse 210 will not have direct competition apart from the Kawasaki KLX 230.
