2020 Hero XPulse 200 BS6 Launched; Priced At Rs. 1.11 Lakh

Hero MotoCorp has launched the updated BS6 compliant model of the Hero XPulse 200, priced at Rs. 1,11,790 (Ex-showroom, Delhi). The price of the new XPulse 200 which is cleaner, to meet the new Bharat Stage VI emissions, has gone up by around Rs. 5,000, and is likely to have undergone minor changes in the fuelling and state of tune as well. The engine now gets an oil-cooled system and a rerouted exhaust system (to meet the latest emission standards) and likely a bigger catalytic converter as well. Also different is the sump guard, to house the slightly bigger exhaust which is now re-routed under the engine. Ground clearance, however, has not been affected, and the specifications of the updated bike lists the same 220 mm ground clearance as before.

The 2020 Hero XPulse 200 is 3 kg heavier with a slight change in tune of the engine

Power and torque have gone down marginally on the BS6 iteration of the Hero XPulse 200, with the 199 cc, single-cylinder putting out 17.8 bhp of maximum power at 8,500 rpm and peak torque of 16.45 Nm now kicking in at 6,500 rpm. The maximum power now comes in 500 rpm higher than the BS4 version, hinting at the possibility of the BS6 engine becoming more free-revving than the earlier version. In comparison, the BS4 version made 18.1 bhp of power at 8,000 rpm and 17.1 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. With all the changes, the 2020 Hero XPulse 200 has also put on some weight, and now has a kerb weight of 157 kg, compared to the 154 kg kerb weight of the earlier model.

Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter.

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
