The new-gen Hero Xpulse finally broke cover at the ongoing EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy. In its latest avatar the Xpulse gains some significant upgrades over the existing model. Over the past decade, the Xpulse has received numerous small updates, the biggest and the most significant of those was the introduction of a 4-valve setup in the engine for better power and torque in 2022.
However, it still wasn’t enough for people who ventured into rallies and motorsports. So after some intense training sessions for the Dakar Rally, Hero MotoCorp seeked feedback from its team of riders which has resulted in this new Xpulse. Let us check out what all the new Xpulse has to offer.
Hero Xpulse 210: Design
Visually, the new Xpulse 210 doesn’t sway away from the design of its predecessor since the dirt bike appeal of the current model is highly appreciated by its buyers, especially those who venture into adventure riding very often. You get a round LED headlamp with a large windscreen on top of it and a traditional beak up front. The fuel tank shape remains largely unchanged from the previous model, retaining its muscular profile.
