Taking out the new Karizma ZMR and Xtreme 200R from our minds, Hero seems to have done a pretty good job in designing the XPulse 200. It looks a bit more matured than the Impulse yet bearing all the design elements of an adventure bike. The headlight is an all LED unit and so is the taillight. There is a long travel suspension at both the ends, spoked wheels, long seat extending on to the fuel tank, an upswept exhaust making it a good motorcycle on paper for the broken tarmac.

Price and Mileage:
The Hero XPulse 200 is definitely a welcome addition to the adventure motorcycle category, as it's not only affordable but also reliable when compared to the competition (The RE Himalayan). The XPulse 200 would be a mix of both worlds, as one can leisurely ride through traffic or crawl through broken tarmac and also ride flat out on a rally. The motorcycle has been priced around 1.2 lakh (On Road) which is still a good deal when compared to the pricing of the competition.
