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.

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. 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.
