Who doesn’t like adventure? In a country where, location after location, land space changes, there is no doubt that there is a large audience out there eager to admire it. One can’t go on foot to explore them, right? You need to be guarded from the thorny shrubs and rocky roads.
Well, an adventure bike can act as a savior here.
An adventure bike is a package of tools required to face the challenges of the woods. These are specially built bikes for off-road adventure. They have great mileage to keep your vehicle alive until the expedition ends. Also, the performance is such that they make the bumby road seem like walking over a cake.
But with the price of these bikes reaching the sky, adventure remains a dream for most. That is the reason why it seems that Hero is focusing on launching these bikes at an affordable rate. Two bikes are already on the market, while another two are lined up. Today we are going to see one of the upcoming adventure hero bikes, the Hero XPulse 210.
Hero XPulse 210 Colors And Design:
Hero Xpulse 210 Design has not been unveiled by the brand. But both the Hero Xpulse 200T 4V and the Xpulse 200 4V have a similar appearance, so it can be predicted that the upcoming bikes in the segment too will have a similar look. These bikes have energizing designs that keep up the spirit of the rider throughout the expedition.
Color varies on Hero bikes, so they can’t be anticipated before the company discloses them. But one thing is for sure: the colors will match the body language of the bike just like any other hero bike.

Hero XPulse 210 Features:
The below-mentioned features are undoubtedly found in Hero adventure bikes. So, it can be for sure said that we will be seeing them on this motorcycle too.
- Plush Seat: While adventuring, you cannot afford to be fatigued, which is why the bike comes with plush seats. This helps you experience supreme comfort, even on bumpy roads.
- Ample storage: While leaving for adventure, the backpack is full of essentials. To accommodate all that you require, Hero adventure bikes come with adequate storage capacity.
- LED projector lights: While touring in remote regions during the night, riders require bright light. That’s why Hero equips its adventure bikes with LED projector lights that offer a more radiant light than regular ones.
- Meter console: The fully digital and touchscreen digital console offers precise and accurate data on the screen.
- USB Charger: Hero Xpulse 210 bike comes with a built-in USB charger that allows you to charge your device during the ride. This feature keeps you connected throughout the journey.
Hero Xpulse 210 Price:
When the Xpulse 200 4V was launched in December 2023, its price was ₹1,43,000. Just after a month, Hero Xpulse 200T 4V in January 2024 will cost ₹1,37,000 lakhs. This shows a slight decrease in the price of the latter.
When the Karizma was launched in the 2000s, the high price led to its discontinuation in the next decade.
Hero has understood what the Indian market is after: affordability yet uncompromising features.
But even after this, if the speculations show that the price is going to be higher than the previous bikes in the segment, then it will be worth the hike.
That’s why it is anticipated that Xpulse 210 will be available for ₹1,70,000 to ₹1,90,000.
Hero Xpulse 210 Mileage:
Imagine getting lost in the woods while adventuring! To find a way out, you require the support of adequate mileage. Can you afford to push the bike in this helpless and draining condition?
Good mileage comes in handy when you are adventuring in a remote location. Having ample fuel tank capacity is just like carrying extra luggage for backup in an unwanted situation. High mileage is required on an adventure bike because it has to carry out a lot of tasks, such as getting through mud or inclining a mountain. This leads to fuel emissions. Having great mileage can enable one to deal with these challenges without having to worry about losing fuel.
Seeing the above importance of mileage in adventure bikes, let us now derive this upcoming bike’s km/l by checking out the mileage of period bikes in the segment.
Xpulse 200 4V and Xpulse 200T 4V both provide ample mileage of 40 to 45 km/l. They both also come with a 13-liter tank capacity as well. This is the average mileage that most bikes on the market also deliver.
The price of Xpulse is a bit high, so an increase in km/l can be expected.
The Xpulse 210 Engine:
A good engine is the key to smooth performance. A peek into this aspect of a bike can enable us to understand its health. It plays such an important role in vehicles because, just as a kidney is for humans, an engine is for automobiles.
That is the reason why a bike has to have a good engine to enable it to deliver great performance. The functioning of a bike heavily depends on the quality of the engine. So let’s delve into the specs of this bike’s kidney—we mean engine.
The motorcycle’s engine type is a 4-stroke air-cooled, single-cylinder OHC. An air-cooled engine gives an extra amount of heat, ensuring quick engine warmup. This provides ample safety and a reliable riding experience.
It has a displacement of 199.6 cc. These factors contribute to enhanced fuel efficiency.
With a maximum power of 19.1 PS at the rate of 8500 revolutions per minute and a maximum torque of 17.35 Nm at the rate of 6500 revolutions per minute, this bike provides better handling.
Competitors:
Now that we have derived a blurry picture of how the bike mileage would be, let us compare the bike with others in this aspect.
Royal Enfield Himalayan and KTM 390 Duke are the top bikes that come to anyone’s mind when thinking about adventure bikes. But do you know? As compared to previous bikes in the Xpulse segment, they are overpriced for the mileage that they deliver.
The Himalayan offers 30 to 36 km/l, while the Duke’s mileage is just 28 km/l. Their prices are ₹ 2.9 lakh (ex-showroom price) and ₹ 3.10 lakh (ex-showroom price), respectively.
If this new launch in the Xpulse segment is launched, then even if it maintains the same mileage as the previous ones in the series, it is going to be a threat to these rivals.
Other Bikes in The Segment:
If you liked Hero Xpulse 210 bike, then there are other models in the Xpulse segment that you would like to know about. We have written a detailed blog on each of them. We hope that you find them useful and interesting.

Conclusion:
If the bike meets the expectations set by the previous bikes in the segment, then it will rock the market. These newly launched adventure bikes already offer all that the other brand’s high-priced motorcycles deliver. But the slightly raised price of the Hero Xpulse 210 makes it interesting to see what additional value it will incorporate into the bike.
But it is a matter of time. Let’s keep our hopes high for the launch of this concept.
