Hero Xpulse 210 Deliveries Begin – Waiting Period and Delivery Timeline

The all-new Hero Xpulse 210 has finally started reaching customers in select Indian cities. After being unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Expo in early 2025 and bookings commencing on 20 March, deliveries began just a couple of weeks ago. However, some cities like Mumbai and Pune are still waiting for the first lot to arrive, highlighting the limited initial rollout.

Availability

The Xpulse 210 is not available through Hero’s regular showrooms. Instead, it is being sold exclusively via Hero’s premium Premia dealerships. As of late 2024, there were only 40 such dealerships across 35 cities, and there has been no update on further expansion.

Due to the restricted dealership network and high demand, the waiting period is between 45 and 60 days in most regions. So if you’re planning to get one, you’ll need to plan ahead and be a bit patient.

Variants and Features

The Hero Xpulse 210 is being offered in two variants — Base and Top — and it’s a completely new motorcycle that shares almost nothing with the outgoing Xpulse 200 4V.

The Top variant packs more equipment, including:

• A 4.2-inch full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity
• Dual-channel ABS
• Tall windscreen
• Knuckle guards
• Rear luggage rack

The Base variant gets:

• A basic LCD instrument cluster
• Single-channel ABS
• Smaller flyscreen
• No knuckle guards or luggage rack

The extra kit on the Top variant makes it a more capable long-distance and off-road tourer, while the Base version keeps things simpler and more affordable.

Engine and Performance

The Xpulse 210 uses a 210cc liquid-cooled engine derived from the Karizma XMR but with several tweaks. These include:

• A revised rear sprocket with four additional teeth
• Different intake and exhaust setups
• A unique ECU map tailored for off-road riding

This engine produces 24.2bhp and 20.7Nm of torque, paired to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. The clutch action is light and makes gear changes smoother, especially during aggressive downshifts — handy both on trails and in traffic.

Hardware

Built to be a true dual-sport bike, the Xpulse 210 rides on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels. Suspension travel is longer than the Xpulse 200 4V, and ground clearance is higher too, making it more capable over rough terrain.

That said, the bike is slightly heavier than its predecessor, weighing in at 168kg kerb — a 9kg increase over the 200. But the improved suspension and power delivery should make up for that, especially when tackling off-road routes.

Ride Review

We got a chance to ride the Xpulse 210 earlier this year and came away impressed. The new chassis, suspension, and engine tuning all come together to deliver a motorcycle that feels much more serious about dual-sport riding than its predecessor. It’s comfortable, engaging, and most importantly, capable of handling both tarmac and trail without breaking a sweat.

Here’s a quick spec comparison:

Overall, the Hero Xpulse 210 seems like a well-thought-out upgrade for riders looking for something more capable and serious in the adventure space. With deliveries now underway, it’s only a matter of time before more riders hit the road — and trails — with this new machine.
