Buying the Hero XPULSE 210 - Himalayan KILLER - My HONEST Thoughts

[@citizenkane9222]

I am 63 years young and 5' 7". After watching and reading your reply for for my question, I bought Xpulse 200 4V. After riding for a year, I'm planning for my India, Nepal & Bhutan ride by coming February (2025) 😊

[@thewonderer9551]

How is your experience with Xpulse, Sir? 😊 Even my height is also 5’7 & I ride Fzs25. I was thinking about another bike. Either Hunter or Xpulse. Don’t wanna spend more. Kindly share your thoughts. I need seat comfort too.

[@citizenkane9222]

@thewonderer9551 I was bit hesitant to buy after seeing the seat height. Bulu's reply gave me the confidence and I have bought this amazing bike 💜 within a week, I could easily overcome the 'fear of height' & now riding it like a Champ 😁 after seeing this 210 version, planning to sell my present Xpulse and to go for this. I'm not a fan of hardcore off riding, but I have done a few & could manage them effortlessly. Well, confidence & practicing makes a fine rider 😊

[@thewonderer9551]

@@citizenkane9222 Loved the way you described everything 😊 I'll give a try to xpulse once its launched. Thank you for sharing your feedback, Sir 🫡 ☺️

@@thewonderer9551 Brother, I am 45yrs young 5.5, and completed my ladakh ride in Sep 2022 covering spiti valley in X200 2v, I had 200% fun with this machine (including slow speed falls, part of fun) zero breakdowns. It is the most forgiving machine, lets you learn and unlearn very quickly, you do not have to be a pro rider at all. My suggestion would be rent a xpulse for a weekend ride including city, parking in tight spots, highway run, bad roads and then decide, but do not forget current xpulse is not for speed runs. current xpulse seat you might have to rework on seating comfort, but I am used to uncomfortable seats because on long runs you will not be in a comfort zone always, hard seats will make you move and stand up, adjust, move side ways which will keep you alert. Sharing some helpful insights.

[@breadstick606]

Bullu bhai i bought my xpulse after watching you complete mustang trip series and it made my mind clear to go for it. Today i'm a proud owner of that xpulse 3 years afterwards.

[@parthshete1937]

Bhai xpulse ke break kaise he? Single channel abs ke vajese rear disk break me dikkat aati he kya like wheel lock? And also highway stability kaisi he?

[@breadstick606]

@parthshete1937 Breaks bohot hi badhiya respond karte hain. Using it for day to day routine and occasional highway rides rear brakes never locks instantly and only goes on to lock if there's sudden panic breaking which is expected in any NON-ABS break. Highway stability is fine on cruising speed of 80-85 even 90.

[@parthshete1937]

@@breadstick606 bhai aagar 40-50 ki speed ho and sudden breaking ho toh lock hoge kya break? Mereko bhi xpulse leni he but single channel abs he isliye me thoda sceptical hu.

[@breadstick606]

40-50 pe panic breaking ki zarurat nahi padegi, gaadi aaram se normal breaking pe handle ho jayegi.

No issues in breaking at lower speeds

[@renjunairpr]

A bullet 500 user here cloaked 50k km all over India and now i stoped using that vibrating machine . For my present requirment I think 210cc with 24.5bhp is a sweet spot . Considering my hip recovery and daily 50km commute and occassional ( may be long tours😅😅 ) xpulse 210 is almost perfect for me now. Defenitely thinking about buying one .

[@CosmicOcean-jv4eu]

You are absolutely on point Bulu Bhai, Light weight is always preferable for offroad. If I had to choose between Himalayan and Xpulse regardless of cost and displacement, I will always choose Xpulse. It's VFM to the max.

[@BuluBiker]

Absolutely true

[@iammukyaa]

Hi Bullu Bhai KNOC member here. Was desperately waiting since yesterday for your views on the new XPulse 210 and here you are. Like always to the point, no high funda english or slang. Simple and effective. Loved your review.

[@speedpunkify]

Right spot on Bulu Bhai, now I own an Adv390 and I am very much happy with this machine, this machine is a pure fun machine but if anyone asks me about how the 390Adv is it always was hard to suggest because I think 390Adv is not for everyone especially a less experienced rider. You mentioned the most important aspect of the new Xpulse, that is, this bike is going to fill the void big time. Touring on this bike is going to be the most sensible thing because when one goes mile munching, the most important factors would be highway cruise speed and fuel efficiency and service network and hero has all these covered, riding an Adv390 I end up riding anywhere 90 kmph to 110kmph which is the best speed according to our conditions and is safe, and I believe the new xpulse can easily sit on 100 - 110 all day long with that liquid cooled engine. For long tours what one need is a liquid cooled engine that does half of the work. I think HERO has finally woken up from their deep hibernation mode 😅

[@sharathrao9605]

Ohh god!! I can relate to you in so many level. I have Himalayan. If this can cruise at 100_110_120. I am totally considering this.

[@sreeharsha1828]

They should launch a scrambler variant in 19"-17" setup with more official look. That would be icing on the cake.

Bulu Bhai I have done upper mustang in 2017 Aug, it was raining and track was hellish . And my bike was Mahindra mojo that time. Delhi to upper mustang, Lomanthan

Bullu Bhai just want an opinion of yours, I like xpulse but I'm scared of puncture, especially while riding, as in one video I saw one Himalayan got puncture on high way while in good speed and then the bike skidded, causing the rider and pillion a major damge. So in this case with sillicon kit can I get rid of the puncture issue of xpulse on a permanent basis?

In xpulse, Seat height may create some issues with your height. But manageable for experienced riders.

That 250 cc engine upgrade would be much better.. 30 ps, 25nm, that would be a sweet spot instead of just gaining 5.3 ps and 3.4 nm of torque from the previous iteration (which is currently 19.1 ps, 17.3nm).

I don't think it can effect Himalayan image or sales much. Both are. Different types of motorcycles. Both have different buyers. And the displacement difference is also 240 cubic capacity. It actually matters for alot of buyers.

[@vipulchauhan5234]

No one wants to point out the truth that the expulse is just a 200cc motorcycle. It is lightweight, no doubt for off roads but it’s just not enough power for touring. A Himalayan, on 3rd gear can outrun an expulse on 6th gear without breaking a sweat. All those bickering about expulse doing 110kmph all day long are so highly mistaken. There is no replacement of displacement. Himalayan is a different level altogether, and now with tubeless rims it becomes unbeatable. I wonder why you haven’t yet spoken about the tubeless rims since you were going on and on about them in your earlier videos. 11k is a steal deal, isn’t it? Go on make a video about that too.
