New Upcoming Hero bikes in India!
Hero is the leading player in the two-wheeler market of India. It is the largest two-wheeler seller as well as a producer of the country. It is a mass-market company that offers affordable products for everyday Indians. However, not to mistake its quality and technology for its affordable pricing. Now, with the launch of its Vida EV scooters, it has set up a new benchmark for its rivals. Moreover, it also has some new bikes lined up that could prove tough competition to the existing products in India. Let’s know more about these new upcoming Hero bikes in India.
Hero Xpulse 200T 4V
The Xpulse brand name is quite popular in the touring category. However, the 200T is the bike that gets the cold shoulder treatment. To get some momentum for this model, Hero is willing to give it the 4V treatment that we saw on its ADV sibling. It is likely to get a redesigned grab rail, new front fork gaiters, updated flyscreen, etc. In terms of mechanical changes, the 4 valve head is imminent along with changed gear ratios and a larger oil cooler. The bike is spotted in an undisguised avatar and we could expect this to launch in the current festive season. Pricing can experience a slight increase due to the additional tech in the engine.
Upcoming Hero bikes in India -Hero Xpulse 400
There are reports about the development of a new 421cc engine that could be used in the Xpulse 400. Talking about the engine, it is likely to be a single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine making around 40bhp and 40Nm of torque. Moving to the Xpulse 400, this new moniker has high possibilities to come in 2 iterations. Just like what we saw on the Xpulse 200 and 200T, the brand is likely to bring an adventure tourer and a more road-focused ‘T’ version. Both the bikes have been spotted testing on Indian soils which could go against the likes of RE Himalayan and KTM 390 ADV.
Hero Xtreme 160S and 160R
160cc segment is the most lucrative segment in the country. This segment has one of the highest choices and one of them is the Hero Xtreme 160R. Now, the brand has also spied testing the updated 160R and there are also talks about Xtreme 160S. Technically, both these bikes would have the same 163cc engine delivering 15bhp and 14Nm of torque. In terms of design, both these bikes would be different. The 160R is the naked commuter wherein the ‘S’ model would be the fully faired version.
