Hero XPulse 200 4V Official Launch Teaser Released, Xtreme 200S 4V Spotted Testing

The XPulse 200 4V might also be offered with the Rally Kit factory-fitted, as a separate variant 

Hero MotoCorp has officially teased the XPulse 200 4V on its social media handles, hinting at an imminent launch. 

In its current 2-valve configuration, the Hero ADV makes 18.08PS and 16.45Nm. But with the addition of the 4-valve setup to the 199.6cc single-cylinder oil-cooled motor, the XPulse 200 4V should dish out a bit more power, thereby offering better highway cruising speeds.

The right side switchgear has been reworked, with an integrated starter button and kill switch for an overall clutter-free look. During the dealer meet where the brand had initially showcased the bikes, Hero showcased the XPulse 200 4V with the Rally Kit, which has us thinking that the bike might get a separate variant with the kit as a stock addition. This should help you save some money rather than spending the additional Rs 40,000 and buying the off-road equipment separately, though that is something you would still be able to do. 

We expect the XPulse 200 4V standard version to cost around Rs 1.30 lakh and the Rally Kit version to be priced around Rs 1.55 lakh (ex-showroom). 

In a related development, the Hero Xtreme 200S 4V has also been spotted testing. In the current state, it too uses the same motor and makes identical power as the XPulse 200. So, the 4-valve treatment should make the faired Hero bike a bit more lively. Overall, the Xtreme 200S 4V seems the same as the current model. Expect Hero to price it around Rs 5,000 more than the outgoing model which costs Rs 1,27,364 (ex-showroom, Delhi). 

Ultimately, with the teaser already out, we expect Hero to launch the updated bikes in the next couple of weeks.
