Hero XPulse 250 To Be Unveiled At EICMA 2024
[[{“value”:”
Hero MotoCorp is getting ready to launch an updated version of its popular adventure motorcycle, the Hero XPulse. While the launch date is still some time away, possibly in early 2025, the company has teased its updated adventure motorcycle which will be showcased at the EICMA 2024 show in Milan, Italy from November 5-10, 2024. The question that remains now is what updates will the new XPulse get, and will it come with a bigger engine?
We’ve reported in the past that Hero MotoCorp was working on a significantly bigger engine for the platform, with displacement of around 421 cc. But that engine platform faced technical issues and may not be used in the new XPulse anymore. Instead, Hero MotoCorp is likely to use an all-new engine, although there’s been reports that it could use the 210 cc engine of the current Karizma XMR. However, we have reason to believe that Hero MotoCorp will use a completely new engine which will have displacement of around 250 cc, which will be used in both the updated XPulse adventure bike, as well as the new Hero Karizma.

A bigger 250 cc engine will offer a significant update to the XPulse, instead of the 210 cc, and will boost its performance, on tarmac and off it as well. The current Hero XPulse has been a popular budget choice for adventure riders in India, owing to its light weight, and un-intimidating performance. But where the current 200 cc XPulse lacked is in performance for covering long distances which is an important trait for any adventure motorcycle. If the Hero XPulse 250 is introduced in the next few months, the current XPulse is likely to be replaced with the new model, which will have a bigger engine, possibly better highway riding capability, and improved dynamics as well.
