Hero MotoCorp has officially begun deliveries of its all-new Xpulse 210 in select cities across India. Launched earlier this year at the Bharat Mobility Expo, the bike opened for bookings on 20 March 2025. Now, deliveries are gradually rolling out, although some key cities like Mumbai and Pune are yet to receive the first batch.
Availability
The new Xpulse 210 is sold exclusively through Hero’s premium Premia dealership network. Unlike the brand’s widespread standard showrooms, Premia outlets are limited in number—only 40 of them exist across 35 cities as of the last update in late 2024. That means access is still quite restricted depending on where you live.
As for waiting periods, it varies slightly across cities but typically falls between 45 and 60 days. With demand on the rise and supply still ramping up, buyers should expect a bit of a wait in most locations.
Variants and Features
The new Xpulse 210 marks a significant departure from the Xpulse 200 4V. It’s been built from the ground up and now presents itself as a more focused dual-sport motorcycle. Hero has positioned it in two variants—Base and Top—with notable feature differences.
The Top variant comes loaded with:
- A 4.2-inch TFT instrument console
- Bluetooth connectivity with navigation
- Dual-channel ABS
- Tall windscreen
- Knuckle guards
- Rear luggage rack
The Base variant, on the other hand, is slightly stripped down and includes:
- A basic LCD console
- Smaller flyscreen
- Single-channel ABS
- No knuckle guards or luggage rack
This clear split in features helps Hero cater to different kinds of riders—those focused purely on performance and those looking for a more tech-packed experience.
Engine and Performance
Under the tank, the Xpulse 210 gets a 210cc, liquid-cooled engine derived from the Karizma XMR. But it’s not a straight transplant. Hero has made several changes to suit its off-road character, including a different intake and exhaust setup, revised cooling, a unique ECU map, and a larger rear sprocket with four additional teeth.
This engine puts out 24.2bhp and 20.7Nm, paired with a six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. The power delivery feels more responsive in the low and mid-range, making it suitable for both trail riding and highway cruising.
Hardware and Ride
The Xpulse 210 now rides on a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheel combo—classic for dual-sport motorcycles. It also gets longer suspension travel and increased ground clearance compared to the outgoing 200 4V model. At 168kg kerb weight, it’s 9kg heavier than before, but the added hardware justifies the bump.
Whether you’re tackling trails or broken city roads, this bike feels better equipped than ever before.
Our Ride Impressions
We rode the Hero Xpulse 210 back in March 2025 and were genuinely impressed. It felt more planted, better damped, and far more capable off-road. The engine felt lively, and the overall refinement levels were a clear step up from the previous generation.
Here’s a quick look at the specs:

The Hero Xpulse 210 brings much-needed upgrades to India’s homegrown adventure bike space. It now feels more like a true dual-sport machine, with the looks, hardware, and performance to match. Deliveries may be slow for now, but if you’re an off-road enthusiast looking for a versatile, budget-friendly motorcycle, this one’s definitely worth the wait.
