Hero Xpulse 200 4V Rally Edition – What Changes

Xpulse 200 4V Rally Edition

The new more off-road capable Rally Edition is equipped with all the components Hero released with the optional Rally Kit a few days back. This highly improves the terrain tackling capabilities of the standard bike by increasing the ground clearance, equipping it with long-travel suspension, fitting more off-road-centric tyres etc. 

Listed below are all the new additions the Rally Edition gets over the standard bike – 

  • Just like the Rally Kit for the Xpulse 200 2V version, this kit also offers the equipment in Suspension, Ergonomics & Tyres categories. 
  • At the front, Hero is offering preload-adjustable, Cartridge-style forks with a massive 250 mm of suspension travel
  • At the rear, the Xpulse 4v gets a big 220 mm suspension-travel Preload-adjustable Monoshock.
  • This new suspension setup increases the ground clearance to a whopping 275 mm.
  • Also offered is a longer side-stand to compensate for the increased ground clearance resulting from the use of the new longer suspension. 
  • Handlebar risers are also being offered in order to improve ergonomics during the standing and sitting part of off-road riding. 
  • Also offered are extended foot controls & side-stand to better allow the rider to better control the bike while tackling treacherous terrain.

However, missing out from the Rally Edition is the new flatter seat which is otherwise offered on the Rally Kit sold separately. These additions facilitate better maneuverability & control while tackling the challenges of the terrain.

Also missing out are the new Maxxis tyres, which again are only offered on the Rally Kit.  These new tyres come with aggressive off-road-centric block-pattern rubber to provide a better grip & tractability in the off-road environment.

Hero Xpulse 200 4V Rally Edition – What Didn’t Change

Xpulse 200 4V Rally Edition

Since the rally Edition is components added to the standard model, the rest of the bike remains untouched as its standard form. 

It still sports 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 around which the bike is built and the 19” front & 18” rear tyre combination remains the same. The braking system consisting of a 276 mm front disc combined with a 220 mm rear disc system aided by a single-channel ABS system, remains unaltered as well.

Fuel Capacity also remains at 13 Litres.
