The Hero Xpulse 200 range, including the Xpulse 200 and Xpulse 200T is certainly more popular than Hero’s very own Xtreme 200 range (Xtreme 200R and Xtreme 200S), sales figures for the month of September 2019 had revealed.

Hero was able to sell 3,490 units of the Xpulse 200 compared to a mere 530 units sold of the Xtreme 200 range. Even though both the ranges are offered with the same 200 cc engine, the Xpulse adventure bikes seem to do better than the Xtreme 200 urban motorcycles.

The 200 cc engine on offer with the Xtreme 200 and Xpulse 200 is a 2-valve, air-cooled engine that makes 18.4 HP of peak power and 17.1 Nm peak torque, and comes mated to a 5-speed transmission. Unlike the Xtreme 200 range, the Xpulse 200 range is offered with an optional direct fuel injection system, apart from the standard carburetted version.
