@rohanrayakar22575 жыл бұрын
The Himalayan isn't that great on the highway. I have felt several times that the tires may have got punctured but it is because of the tyre profile that there a mild wobble which feels weird during rides especially on rough tar or concrete roads. The gearing is definitely tall for offroad and city which makes for a higher clutch usage. The bike could have been better with a shorter first(just like the low range on SUVs) and an additional sixth gear. However, the engine is very relaxed because of the low to mid range torque which helps maintain good speeds while touring. And the seating posture and suspension give a very comfortable ride. Where the himalayan really scores is the ability to go comfortably over a mix of different types of terrain, be it highways, forest roads, village broken roads,etc; making it a good tourer for long distances where one would encounter different road conditions. The bike isn't about going from point a to b quickly but rather to go comfortably from point a to b, and at the same time haul a decent amount of luggage for the journey as well! Haven't yet ridden the XPulse as a test ride bike is not available at the local dealer, but hope to ride it soon and maybe buy one too!

There are lot of areas of improvement for Xpulse..... 1)There is no cooling system,neither liquid cooling nor oil cooling.Hence,long distances are harsh on engine.No off-roader would take a bike to off road in a truck,we need to travel more than 200 km to find an off-road,a cooling system is must for this. 2)There is no 6th gear 3)Struggling a lot even at normal speeds of 90+ km/hr,4 valves can be an economic alternative to the issue. 4)A little more power is a must,learn from Bajaj NS200. 5)Tubeless spoke wheels are required

On the average most riders aren't experienced or expert enough to extract the maximum fun out of the Himalayan. The Xpulse is more manageable, more throwable, more agile and when off-roading, when some amount of fatigue sets in, you'll wish you had the Xpulse rather than the Himalayan. And like you've observed: Touring: Himalayan Off-roading: Xpulse Edit: i know this video is 4 years old and a new 4Valve Xpulse has come out but i wanted to see a comparison with the Himalayan. I've been travelling a mostly bad road highway between my home and place of work and i often ride home for the weekends and my interest in the Xpulse has shot up sky high. I have a meteor 350 right now but that is good for crusing. And you guys summed up my thoughts perfectly. I'll be having an Xpulse 4Valve as my second bike.

Thanks for putting in the effort to articulate it to this extent, guys. Much better content and perspectives than the other comparison vids out there so far on the same subject. Mostly fair comparison too. Just wish you'd have ridden it over longer distances, more varied terrain, and more challenging offroad sections (loose rock surfaces, sand, water crossings, pockmarked roads, hilly trails etc) for a few days and come to your conclusions. I disagree with the bit about xpulse being at best a 2nd bike in the garage. Most people who'd buy an xpulse probably wouldn't give a shit about having a 2nd bike or 3rd bike. I mean, that's what a dual sport is for isn't it... to avoid the hassles of owning multiple specialized bikes? If I didn't own an Impulse, I'd still pick the Xpulse over the Himalayan even if it means a tad slower highway speeds because I wouldn't buy the bike just to ride the highway in the first place. And IMO, the xpulse is far ahead in terms of overall usability compared to the Himalayan simply because of the lower weight. But I do get the easy natured appeal of the Himalayan. Easy to ride on the road, easy to tractor off the road, just as long as things don't get tricky. And yeah, just the inclusion of a 6th gear and an easy 100-110 kmph cruising capability would have hit the value proposition out to space. It should have been a no brainer decision for Hero. I'm sure they could have cut costs elsewhere like the stupid looking luggage rack. I just don't understand manufacturers. My Suzuki 150 cc from 2010 has a 6th gear and does easy cruising at 90-100 kmph all day (It's overengineered for what it's supposed to be and takes a fair bit of offroad bashing too for being a roadbike).

Such a killer comprehensive review. Just happy that i was not the one deciding (or waiting to know) which one among these wins. Such a difficult task to choose. The wait is still on, or maybe I have answer India is looking for. Maybe.

Dominar या himalayan which is more reliable for long term. Please reply sir Which one is easy to maintain. I am planning to buy one but I got very confused. I prefer no off-road.

Hey guys nice comparison. Heart goes with Himalayan. Only factor xpulse is ahead is weight factor. Himalayan has less average more expensive then XPulse but it has that X factor that's missing in XPulse. Hmm rightly said Cannot ignore XPulse but as Second bike though. Himalayan needs some serious weight cuts and a sixth gear. But till then Himalayan rules. For first time bikers with less weight can go for Xpulse, but people already riding 150 or 200plus cc bikes Himalayan is the choice.

Himalayan - For touring Xpulse - Weekend fun off the road, City commutes & occasional tour @80 - 90kmph ( come on we did touring on machines like Rx100 Suzuki maxR100 bajaj Boxer etc. without GPS no electronics )

For a short one day ride with some offroading and no luggage the Xpulse will be a good option. But any tour covering longer distances the Himalayan wins hands down. Add the weight of the luggage and you'll see the Xpulse struggle. RE also needed to make the Himalayan much lighter. It's an unnecessarily heavy bike. You have KTM, Yamaha, BMW adventure bikes with 700-800 cc engines weighing the same as the Himalayan. Maybe they can do better with their 650 version (eagerly waiting for that).
