Hero XPulse 210: Variants Explained

It comes in a total of two variants: Base and Top

Hero MotoCorp launched the XPulse 210 at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. The bike comes in two variants: Base and Top. The Base variant is priced at Rs 1,75,800 while the Top variant costs Rs 1,85,800 (both ex-showroom, Delhi). Here's a look at the differences between the two:

Design

Both variants of the XPulse 210 share a similar design, with only a few differences. The Base variant is available in two colours: Wild Red and Glacier White. The Top variant also offers two colours, but with different shades: Azure Blue and Alpine Silver. Additionally, the Top variant has a tall windscreen for better wind protection, while the Base variant comes with a shorter flyscreen.

Features

The main difference between both the variants lies in the set of features they get. The Top variant comes with a TFT display, while the Base variant has an LCD instrument cluster. The Top variant also includes dual-channel ABS with three modes: Road, Offroad, and Rally. The Base variant has single-channel ABS without modes. The Top variant also comes with knuckle guards and a luggage mounting plate at the rear.

Underpinnings

The Base variant is slightly lighter at 168kg, while the Top variant weighs 170kg. Both variants have a telescopic fork with 210mm of travel, a 10-step pre-load adjustable monoshock with 205mm of travel and disc brakes at both ends. The seat height is 830mm and the ground clearance is 220mm.

Engine

The Hero XPulse 210 is powered by a 210cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing 24.6PS and 20.7Nm, paired with a six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. This is the same 210cc engine as the Karizma XMR 210, but has been re-tuned here to suit the bikes off-road oriented nature.

Rivals

The Hero XPulse 210 directly rivals other dual-sport bikes like the Kawasaki KLX230 and the upcoming Yamaha Lander 250.
