Perfect for off-roading and Chennai roads, it glides smoothly and the suspension feels like horse riding, very good. The display has more settings inside, I can cut off the two ABS and also cut off the front ABS on the two ABS, probably for beach sand, hills and water, ok thanks.

After spending time with the Hero Xpulse 210, it has gone beyond what I expected. It balances performance, comfort and adventure ability very well. The engine is smooth and responsive in the city and on highways. The suspension soaks up rough roads, potholes and off-road trails with ease. Ergonomics are comfortable for long rides, and the seat gives good support. It looks sporty and stands out on the road. It brings useful features and delivers good mileage for an adventure motorcycle. Upkeep is reasonable, and Hero’s service reach is wide. A small drawback is that taller riders may need a bit of time to get used to the seat height. Do remember to check the engine oil level to the 2nd knot, as oil can leak sometimes due to the build quality of the engine, so it needs a time to time recap. Overall, it suits touring, daily commutes and weekend adventures very well. Strongly recommended.

It cruises easily at 85 to 95 km/h, but once you go past 100 km/h the engine note turns a bit buzzy and noisy. Some riders also notice heat on the left foot in heavy traffic, and Hero’s local service network can at times face part delays. All said, if you want a lightweight, highly capable, budget-friendly bike that excels in city duty and weekend trail exploration, the XPulse 210 delivers excellent value for the price.
