All about Hero Xpulse 200 4V Pro Dakar Edition
Rally-Inspired Design
The Xpulse 200 Dakar Edition boasts a stunning Gloss Goldfish Silver paint scheme with bold Dakar-inspired graphics. The fuel tank features unique compass coordinates, potentially referencing the Dakar Rally’s Saudi Arabian setting, adding a touch of adventure to its design. The overall styling, however, remains largely similar to the Pro variant of the Xpulse 200 4V.
Adventure-Ready Features
This limited-edition bike is built for off-road enthusiasts:
- Wheels & Tyres: Equipped with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear dual-purpose knobby tyres for improved off-road grip.
- Suspension: Retains adjustable front telescopic forks with 250mm travel and rear monoshock offering 220mm travel.
- ABS Modes: Comes with three ABS modes – Road, Off-road, and Rally – providing flexibility for varying terrains.
Engine and Performance
The mechanical components remain unchanged from the Pro variant. The bike is powered by a 199.6cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, producing 18.9 bhp and 17.35 Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed gearbox.
Pricing and Availability of Hero Xpulse 200 4V Pro Dakar Edition
The Xpulse 200 Dakar Edition is priced ₹3,000 higher than the standard Pro variant, making it an attractive choice for riders seeking rally aesthetics and performance. Bookings are now open, and the bike will be sold alongside the other Xpulse 200 variants.
The Final Iteration of the Xpulse 200 Series?
This Dakar Edition could mark the last release of the Xpulse 200 4V series as Hero gears up for the launch of the Xpulse 210. The new model, unveiled at EICMA 2024, features upgrades like a TFT display and adjustable suspension and is expected to hit the Indian market by mid-2025.
Conclusion: Hero Xpulse 200 4V Pro Dakar Edition
The Xpulse 200 4V Pro Dakar Edition is a testament to Hero’s rally heritage, combining design and features that appeal to adventure seekers. If you’re looking for a limited-edition adventure motorcycle, this could be your last chance before the Xpulse 210 takes over.
