India's first reasonably priced dual-sport adventure motorcycle, the Hero XPulse 200, was introduced in 2019 and is built for both off-road capability and on-road comfort. It has a tough, go-anywhere appearance with useful trail protection due to its high-mounted front mudguard, long-travel suspension, elevated exhaust, knuckle guards, and bash plate. Lightweight and adaptability are key components of the design, which was created internally at Hero MotoCorp's CIT (Centre of Innovation and Technology) in Jaipur. It has a single-cylinder, air-cooled, 199.6 cc engine that is fuel-injected for efficiency and pollution control. The XPulse is manufactured at Hero’s production facility in Haridwar, India, using a diamond-type steel frame for durability and aluminium components like the swingarm for reduced weight. Rubber components provide comfort and traction, while ABS and polypropylene plastic body panels are utilised for durability and economy. The XPulse 200 established a standard for accessible adventure riding in India with its off-road ergonomics, Bluetooth-enabled digital console, and simple yet practical design.
