BREAKING: Get Ready For An Updated Hero XPulse 200 4V

New ABS modes, LED headlight and probably new colours… the XPulse 200 is gearing for a big update

Hero MotoCorp has shared two teasers on its social media handles of the updated XPulse 200 4V. The Indian two-wheeler giant’s ADV is set to get an updated LED headlight and what appears to be ABS modes.

The first teaser shows the updated LED headlight, which now features a ‘H’-shaped DRL and LED projectors. The latter should improve visibility compared to the current bike’s headlight. Hero might even throw in new paint schemes to make it trendier. Interestingly, the ADV with this updated headlight was already on sale in Turkey since last year.

But what’s even more interesting are the three ABS modes – Road, Off-road And Rally. This is a first from Hero MotoCorp, and could also mark the debut of the first product with dual-channel ABS. We reckon the ‘Road’ mode will have the dual-channel ABS engaged, while the Off-road will allow some amount of slip at the rear and with the ‘Rally’ mode, the ABS would be completely switched off at the rear.

We do not expect any mechanical changes in the bike and it would continue with the same engine and even retain the performance from its current model, however, would be now BS6 Phase 2 compliant and E20 fuel compatible.

With these updates, we expect the 2023 Hero XPulse 200 4V to be priced around Rs 1.43 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) which is Rs 5,000 more than the current model. We expect the bike to debut later this month or in the first half of June 2023.
