Unlike upcoming bikes such as the Hero Xoom 160 and Xoom 125 R, the Hero didn’t take the Xpulse 400 to Eimca 2023. Xoom 160 and 125 R, after their disclosure at the Milan exhibition, have become sensational topics among Hero fans. As the look, design, and features of the Xpulse 400 have not been disclosed, it has yet to become a hot topic in the automobile industry.
The Hero Xpulse 400 is going to be an adventure tourer bike. Just like the bikes in the lineage it belongs to—the Hero Xpulse 200T 4V and Hero Xpulse 400—it seems to be an enthralling motorcycle.
Adventure tourer bikes are built for off-road thrills. That’s why they are engineered to adapt to any type of landscape.
Sources suggest that this model will be available in the Indian market by October 2025, but the brand has not made any announcement yet.
It will be interesting to take a close look at this upcoming bike and give it the attention that it deserves.
So, are you ready to unveil the bike? Let’s get started.

Hero Xpulse 400 Color and Design:
Hero has not yet unveiled the look of the bike. But it was spotted with cover during the test ride. But its body looks similar to the bikes in the segment: the Hero Xpulse 200T 4V and the Hero Xpulse 400.
The color options of these mentioned Hero bikes do not overlap with one another. So, it can’t be said that this upcoming model will also inherit any colors from these. However, these models have color combinations that are created to suit their personalities. This makes us believe that this Hero bike will also have unique colors that blend perfectly with its design.
Hero Xpulse 400 Feature:
After day comes night. This inevitable truth haunts when the adventurer is in a remote location where even a tiny spec of light cannot reach. In such circumstances, your ultimate savior is projector LED lamps with LED drills. These emit brighter light than the regular ones. The other two bikes in the segment that we referred to also have these lights. So, it can be expected to be found in the Xpulse 400 too.
The rally-style windshield is seen in the Hero Xpulse 400. Assuming that the bike will acquire the best of the features from the previous bikes, it can be that the Hero Xpulse 400 will also have one. A rally-style windshield not only enhances the look of the bike but also protects the rider from the wind outburst on the body that leads to fatigue.
From a glimpse of the video, it was spotted that the bike has 21-inch front and 19-inch rear tires.
Looking at the video in which the bike was spotted during the test ride, it can be seen that the bike has upright handlebars, providing a comfortable body posture.
The Hero Xpulse 200T 4V has an electric instrument cluster, which can be expected from this upcoming bike as well.

Hero Xpulse 400 Top Speed:
The Xpulse 200T 4V and Xpulse 200 4V have top speeds of 115 kmph and 135 kmph, respectively. So, for sure, it can be anticipated that this new launch will not have any lesser top speed.For now, the Hero Xpulse 400 top speed has not been released.
It is speculated that the bike will have a manual transmission. But the above two bikes, even after coming under the 1.50 L price point, have 5-speed manual speed transmissions. If the source estimates a price of 2 L and above, then it can be expected that either the gear speed will increase or the transmission will have an automatic option as well.
Hero Xpulse 400 Mileage:
We will speculate on the mileage of this bike the way we did before with the help of comparison. Both Xpulse 200T 4V and Xpulse 200 4V have mileage ranging between 40 and 45 km/l with a 13-liter tank capacity. While wandering in the remote landscapes, this mileage holds sufficient. Hardly any adventure tourer bike gives this good mileage at the price point at which these bikes are available. Either a better mileage or an equivalent one can be looked forward to in this new Hero adventure bike.
Hero Xpulse 400 Engine:
The secret to smooth performance lies in a good engine. 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 engine specs of the previous bikes in the segment.
We found a similar engine in the Hero Xpulse 210 and Hero Xpulse 200 4V. We speculate the Hero Xpulse 400 would also have a similar 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.
The Hero Xpulse 400 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.
