If you’ve been eagerly waiting to get your hands on the brand-new Hero Xpulse 210, here’s some exciting news: deliveries have finally begun in select cities across India. The much-anticipated motorcycle, which turned heads at its grand unveiling during the Bharat Mobility Expo earlier this year, is now finding its way into the hands of adventure-hungry riders. While bookings officially opened on 20 March 2025, the thrill of receiving the first batch has only recently become real for some lucky customers.
Not All Cities Have Received Deliveries Yet
But it’s not smooth sailing everywhere just yet. Some cities like Mumbai and Pune are still waiting for the first lot of Hero Xpulse 210 units to arrive. Despite the excitement building across the country, Hero MotoCorp seems to be rolling out the deliveries in phases, possibly to ensure a smooth and controlled distribution.
Waiting Period and Limited Availability
If you’re planning to buy one soon, you might want to brace yourself for a bit of a wait. The current waiting period hovers between 45 to 60 days, depending slightly on where you’re located. Another thing to keep in mind is that the Hero Xpulse 210 is only available through Hero’s exclusive Premium dealerships. These premium showrooms are fewer in number compared to the brand’s regular outlets, just 40 of them scattered across 35 cities as of late 2024, and there hasn’t been an update on new additions since.
A True Upgrade: Built From the Ground Up
Now, let’s talk about what makes the Hero Xpulse 210 such a big deal. This isn’t just a minor upgrade, it’s a completely new machine from the ground up, sharing absolutely nothing with its predecessor, the Xpulse 200 4v. At first glance, you’ll notice how much more rugged and true-to-form this dual-sport motorcycle looks. Hero has gone all-in to build something that feels ready to tackle any terrain while offering comfort for long journeys.
Features That Matter for Real-World Adventures
For those who love features, the top-spec variant comes loaded. A 4.2-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth, dual-channel ABS for added safety, a tall windscreen to cut through the wind, knuckle guards for protection, and a rear luggage rack make it a compelling package for long-distance explorers.
On the other hand, the Base trim keeps things simple with a basic LCD console, a smaller flyscreen, and only single-channel ABS. It also skips out on the knuckle guards and luggage rack, perfect for those who want a cleaner, more minimalistic machine.
Powerful Engine Tuned for Off-Roading
Under the tank, the Hero Xpulse 210 hides a powerful heart, a 210cc, liquid-cooled engine that’s derived from the popular Karizma XMR’s motor. But don’t mistake it for a copy-paste job. Hero has made meaningful changes to suit the Xpulse’s off-road DNA, including a different cooling system, altered intake and exhaust units, and even a revised ECU map for more adventure-ready performance.
With a rear sprocket that has four extra teeth, the torque delivery is more suited to trail riding and steep climbs. The engine churns out 24.2 bhp and 20.7 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch for seamless gear shifts.
Designed for Trails, Built for India
Thanks to its 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels, the Xpulse 210 offers better ground clearance and suspension travel than the previous 200 4v version. Yes, it’s a bit heavier at 168kg (that’s 9kg more), but it brings added stability and capability when the road ends and the trail begins.
The Spirit of Adventure, Reimagined
The Hero Xpulse 210 is not just a motorcycle, it’s an invitation to explore the unknown, to chase freedom, and to rediscover the joy of riding, no matter the road ahead. It’s Hero MotoCorp’s most sincere attempt yet at giving Indian riders a machine that blends comfort, technology, and sheer off-road capability into one exciting package.
