Small-displacement dual-sports and scramblers are extremely popular in countries like India owing to their all-terrain capability and dependability. Nearly all manufacturers have their own interpretation of the ideal, go-anywhere two-wheeler, and Hero MotoCorp, one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in the country, has just release its newest one, the XPulse 200T 4V.
The new Hero XPulse 200T 4V is built atop the same foundations as the Hero Xpulse 200 4V, its more off-road focused sibling. Performance comes from a 199.6cc, four-valve, air-cooled, fuel-injected single cylinder engine. Just like its enduro sibling, the XPulse 200T 4V churns out a maximum output of 19 horsepower and 12 lb-ft of torque. While this may not seem like a lot of power, it's certainly more than enough to tackle India's roads and highways, while still having enough grunt to power through pothole-laden roads and the occasional gravel trail.
