The South African market is becoming increasingly familiar with the many qualities of the Hero XPulse Adventure motorcycle and now, discerning motorcyclists who value quality at an affordable price are going to have the opportunity to get to know the XPulse 200T, the road version.
It’s not just a change in styling, however: there are some important upgrades to the whole machine.
The engine now boasts an oil cooler for increased cooling efficiency, which in turn leads to even greater fuel economy as the engine is always running at the right temperature.
What will also help with economy is the Keihin fuel injection which will give up to 45 km/L of petrol. The digital dash features rider economy symbols that tell you when is the optimum time to change gears.
To make the bike even more suitable for South African roads and riding conditions, the suspension has been revised to cope with the worst our roads have to offer, while the mapping has been revised to give a higher top speed. ABS is fitted as standard.
A feature that you don’t expect to find is Bluetooth connectivity, which has been updated for easier connection and which allows turn-by-turn navigation on the dash. A USB charging port is available under the seat.
Upon purchasing your Hero XPulse 200T, you will be able to download the Hero app for your Android or iOS smartphone where you can keep track of the motorcycle’s warranty and service record.
The new XPulse 200T from Hero costs R45,900 and comes with a 5-year/100,000km warranty.
