Hero Xpulse 200T 4V review, road test

So who exactly is the Xpulse 200T 4V for? If you plan on venturing out onto the highway a lot or want to go bombing trails on the weekend, then this is not the bike for you. However, if you’re looking for a comfortable commuter to handle your daily grind and one that doesn’t meld into the ocean of two-wheelers out there, this is a strong contender.

Suspension is well-balanced and offers good ride quality.

The engine is reasonably refined and returns exceptional fuel efficiency considering its displacement. And while it isn’t the most accomplished offering around, its tempting Rs 1.36 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) price tag does help make up for it. The 200T 4V doesn’t have any natural rivals, but it slots in between the TVS Apache RTR 160 and 200 4V, in terms of price and performance. The TVS duo is better finished, but they are not really comfortable for larger riders, which is why the 200T 4V makes a strong case for itself as your stylish city bike.
