2025 Hero Xpulse 210 Review: 6 Pros and 6 Cons

The Xpulse 210 is a significant and worthy upgrade over the Xpulse 200 4V. The updated engine and new six-speed gearbox takes care of touring while the updated suspension setup adds to the motorcycle's off-road capabilities

Hero Xpulse 210 Pros

• Significant upgrade over its predecessor. A beginner-friendly off-road motorcycle that's comfortable on the road too

• Performance is strong from the 210cc liquid-cooled engine. 24.3 BHP & 20.7 Nm is sufficient for most riders

• New six-speed transmission makes it a more relaxed cruiser at highway speeds (85-95 km/h)

• Improved off-road capability with new chassis, tyres, long travel telescopic front suspension and gas-charged mono-shock with linkages at the rear

• Decent spread of features includes projector LED headlamps, 4.2-inch TFT screen with phone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, slip and assist clutch, dual-channel ABS with three modes

• Good value for money with prices starting at Rs 1.76 lakh for the 'Base' variant and Rs 1.86 lakh for the 'Top' variant

Hero Xpulse 210 Cons

• Still not as effortless to ride at triple-digit speeds constantly

• At ~170 kg wet weight, it is substantially heavier compared to its predecessor

• Vibrations can be felt through foot pegs and fuel tank post 7,000rpm

• Hardcore off-road riders would prefer the adjustable suspension and a slimmer fuel tank from the Xpulse 200 4V Pro

• Long-term reliability of the new engine is unknown

• 6,000 km service interval is on the shorter side
