Hero MotoCorp has just launched the all-new XPulse 200 4 Valve in India. As the name suggests this new and updated XPulse gets a 4 valve engine which should address the existing issues of low cruising speed and vibrations at higher RPM’s. Of course the slightly more power is also welcome. The new 4 Valve variant of the XPulse 200 will be sold alongside the existing version as of now. It also gets an optional FMSCI approved Road Legal Rally Kit.
In terms of spec, the engine now produces 6% more power and 5% added torque. This, along with an updated oil cooling system, improved seat profile and upgraded LED headlights, makes for a decent upgrade to the existing version.
The XPulse 200 4 Valve has been priced at INR. 1,28,150/- (Ex-Showroom, Delhi) and will come in three new exciting color options – Trail Blue, Blitz Blue, and Red Raid.
The XPulse 200 4 Valve is equipped with a BS-VI 200cc 4 Valve oil cooled engine which produces a power output of 19.1 PS @ at 8,500 rpm and torque of 17.35 Nm @ 6,500 rpm. The 4 Valve oil cooled engine not only provides superior power across the mid and top-end speed range but also offers stress free engine performance even at high-speeds, while keeping the vibrations in control.
For better heat management in heavy traffic, the cooling system is now updated with a 7 fin oil cooler. The significantly improved transmission setup in XPulse 200 4V offers better strength and durability, while the gear ratio has been updated for better tractive effort and acceleration. The LED headlights have also been updated for better throw.
