Hero Xpulse 210 ADV Spotted Testing in Ladakh; Launch Imminent

As you might be aware, Hero MotoCorp has been working on the Xpulse 210 for months, which will be the brand’s top-of-the-line adventure motorcycle and a replacement for the Xpulse 200. A test mule of this upcoming Hero ADV was spotted near the Khardungala, Leh (Ladakh) mountain region, indicating an imminent launch. 

Hero Xpulse 210: Expected Specifications

It looks like a typical adventure motorcycle with its big front and smaller rear wheels. Like most adventure motorcycles and its predecessor, this test mule is also equipped with spoke wheels on both ends. Unlike the Xpluse 200, this new motorcycle looks bigger and bulkier upfront, enhancing its road presence.

The motorcycle is amongst Hero’s flagship products but, it is still an entry-level product in the adventure motorcycle category. That’s why it is not loaded with tons of tech features. 

However, it is still expected to have LED headlights, a fully digital instrument cluster, riding modes, and a smartphone connectivity. 

The motorcycle is expected to borrow its engine from the Hero Karizma XMR, which includes a 210-cc engine. This liquid-cooled motor churns out 25.15hp and 20.4Nm of torque on Karizma, but due to the entirely different nature of the adventure bike, the power figures may vary on the Xpulse. 

The motorcycle is expected to be a significant upgrade over the current Xpulse 200. 

Suspension duties are expected to be taken care of by telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock at the rear. To take care of the braking, the motorcycle will have disc brakes on both ends and dual-channel ABS to ensure safety. 

Since a motorbike with spoke wheels and tubeless tyres are premium offerings, the Xpulse 210 will be equipped with tubed tyres, as the company has to keep price in check. 

Hero Xpulse 210: Expected Pricing and Launch Date

The motorcycle is expected to make its India debut in the coming months. The current Xpulse 200 is on sale with a starting ex-showroom price of Rs 1.47 lakh. So, we can expect Hero to price the upcoming motorcycle with a slight premium over its predecessor, because of all the additional features and upgrades.
