Hero Xpulse
India's largest two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp has
unveiled the Xpulse concept off-road motorcycle at the 2017 EICMA motorcycle
show in Milan, Italy. The Hero Xpulse will replace the Impulse in India. The
Xpulse is specially designed for off-roading with high ground clearance and
off-road tyres
The Xpulse concept features large front wheel, long-travel
conventional forks with rubber covers, raised front fender, round headlight and
windscreen. The concept model gets enduro-style handlebar and hand guards
finished in olive green colour.
The muscular fuel tank features knee recesses with compass
graphics. The single piece seat offers an upright riding posture and the
dual-tone side panels get Hero branding.
The Hero Xpulse concept is expected to draw power from the
engine based on the Xtreme 200 which is likely to be revealed at the 2018 Auto
Expo. The engine will be tuned for both on and off-road performance. The engine
is compact and also features a bash plate.
The Xpulse features an upswept exhaust. The concept is based
on the single-downtube frame and adopts a box-section swingarm. The rear end
also gets monoshock suspension and a smaller disc brake.
The off-road motorcycle gets a crash guard with auxiliary
lights. The panniers on the motorcycle blend well with the overall design. The
spoke wheels adds to the rugged look of the motorcycle.
The Hero Xpulse concept looks promising and will be an
affordable off-road motorcycle in the country. Although it's a concept model,
Hero might introduce the production-ready version by the end of 2018. The
Xpulse will be a hit given that the adventure touring segment is on the rise in
the Indian market.
