The new Rally Kit introduced by the company has been designed for the Xpulse 200 4V model and can be optioned during the purchase of the new bike or by existing customers who already own the model.
Since it is an optional kit, the rest of the bike remains untouched in its standard form.
It will still be sporting the 4-valve, air & oil-cooled, 199.6 cc, single-cylinder engine which produces 19.1 HP at 8,500 RPM and 17.35 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM. It transfers its power through a 5-speed transmission.
The frame and the braking system also remain the same – consisting of a 276 mm front disc combined with a 220 mm rear disc system aided by a single-channel ABS system. The tyre profile remains 21” front and 18” rear and the fuel capacity stays at 13 litres.
Finally, as mentioned earlier, the new Rally Kit will cost Rs. 46,000/- over the Rs. 1.36 Lakh (ex-showroom) pricing of the Xpulse 200 4V – totalling Rs. 1.82 Lakh (ex-showroom) with the Rally Kit equipped.
