Rally-spec knobby tyres are part of the Rally Kit for the Hero XPulse 200

The Hero XPulse Rally Kit will be available at Hero dealerships for Rs. 38,000, and it's homologated for normal street use, and has also been homologated by the FMSCI for use in off-road rally and motorsports events. The optional Akrapovic exhaust system is not included in the Rally Kit, and will be an expensive addition. But Hero MotoCorp is working on the company's own aftermarket exhaust, which can be used by off-road enthusiasts, and made available at a later date.

The engine has the same state of tune as the stock XPulse 200, but gear lever and brake pedals have been modified for use with off-road boots

The engine is in the same state of tune, with the 200 cc, single-cylinder engine putting out maximum power of 18.15 bhp at 8,000 rpm, and 17.1 Nm of peak torque 6,500 rpm. On the prepped bikes Hero showcased at its Global Centre for Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur, the sprocket sizes have been changed to a 12-teeth front sprocket and a 40-teeth rear, for added grunt when ridden off-road.

While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
