Design
The design of the Hero XPulse 200 4V Pro is the same as the design of the base Hero XPulse 200 4V. The major difference comes with the ground clearance and larger suspensions which makes the bike look huge. The round headlights with the LED Headlights and large windshield continue the adventure focus setup. The indicators are still halogen which would be better if changed to LED. The Pro variant gets a handlebar riser which helps better during offroading.
With the increased suspension height on both the front and the back, the ground clearance and seat height of the Hero XPulse 200 4V Pro has significantly increased. The increased ground clearance and seat height will now allow for more vigorous off-roading capabilities. The other change is the graphics and colour with the white, black and red making it stand out. The top of the engine is red coloured giving a distinct look to the overall graphics.
The Hero XPulse Hero XPulse 200 4V Pro’s rear section and exhaust are the same as the base variant which is liked by many. The LCD screen is also the same which displays information such as speed, odometer, trip meter, tachometer, gear indicator, fuel gauge and time.
