Hero Xpulse 421 concept sketch showcased at ECIMA 2024

The Xpulse 421 appears to have a fresh design language and looks like a larger version of the Xpulse 210. The concept’s design sketches showcase a striking front end, a large windscreen, and protective handguards, suggesting the motorcycle will have a more rugged and off-road friendly design. 

Just like the Xpulse 210, the Xpulse 421 will be equipped with a TFT display which will have a similar set of features. Hero hasn’t released any information about the engine or specifications. However, it's safe to assume it will be a retuned version of the same engine found in the Mavrick 440 which is equipped with a 440cc single-cylinder engine that produces 27hp at 6,000rpm and 36Nm at 4,000rpm. As of now there is no concrete date to when Hero plans to launch the Xpulse 421. Upon launch the Xpulse 421 will have to rival the likes of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the upcoming KTM 390 Adventure.
