BS6 Hero XPulse 200 Specs:
The 199.6cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine of the new Hero XPulse 200 has been updated to comply with the more stringent Bharat Stage 6 emission standards. Hero MotoCorp has also added an oil-cooler to improve the powerplant’s cooling mechanism and ensure that the optimal working temperatures are maintained at all times. In its BS6 state of tune, this engine produces 17.8 BHP of maximum power and 16.4 Nm of peak torque.
Another change in the new BS6 Hero XPulse 200 is the exhaust system. The header pipe now features a new cat-con and has been rerouted. Instead of going from the side of the engine, it now goes underneath the powerplant and reaches the high-mounted side slung exhaust. Even after the re-routing, the XPulse 200 has the same amount of ground clearance as before - 220mm. However, the bike has become 3kg heavier and weighs 157kg now.
