Nice Video. This is For XPulse Tourers - Sprocketing I have a 2022 Xpulse 200 4v. As we know it touches 90kmph speed at around 6000 rpm. As we know peak torque comes in at around 6500 rpm. Any engine would operate at its peak efficiency around the RPM where it makes peak torque. Beyond this the engine wouldn't be operating efficiently. Also it would be healthy to operate it within this RPM especially for long durations. I wanted to cruise comfortably at around 100kmph especially since I do frequent long rides like Bangalore to Kanyakumari for instance which is around 700km. I recently change my stock chain sprocket set with the one which comes with the XPULSE 200 2V model. Everything is same except the rear sprocket which is 38 tooth when compared to 4v model's 45tooth rear sprocket. As per calculation it results in 15% taller gearing which yields 15% higher top speed. Tested it for around 500 kms before writing this. The initial pick up is slightly compromised. So it would'nt be great for hard core dirt track riders or racers. But for touring it is awesome. I am now able to touch close to 90kmph at around 5000 rpm and 104 kmph at around 6000 rpm. The engine runs in a cool manner and this would be due to bike making more speed with lesser engine RPM. Gears and Speed: The feel in 1st and 2nd gears are almost same except for slightly lesser pickup. In 3rd gear you have to use it till 40 to 45kmph speed and then can shift to 4th gear 45 to 60 - 65 kmph in 4th gear and after that can go to 5th gear. It takes a little bit time to get used to this different feel. As the engine has good amount of bottom and mid range torque the taller gearing doesn't seem to be a problem. Mileage: If I cruise at 90 to 100 kmph speed I am getting around 50+ kmpl mileage. Gear Indicator : Problem is that the gear indicator doesn't show accurate gears. This is because hero doesn't use a sensor to detect gear position. The ECM calculates speed and engine rpm and arrives at the gear number. This is the reason gear indicator goes blank whenever we press the clutch lever. Conclusion: This would be helpful for those who love long rides and touring. The engine runs cool, better mileage, much smoother as it is running at lower rpm at given speed. Will be able to use each gears for a wider range of speed. Gives more flexibility for different kind of roads. For instance on small state highways with lot of twisties I could go upto 4th gear as I couldn't cross 60 to 65 kmph speed in such roads. It was good feel. I got the 2v sprocket from here - sparify.co/.../hero-x-pulse-200-200fi-rolon-chain... which seems to be a lot more cheaper than from the service center.
1:40 optical illusion on left side is super. Doesn't matter how old you get, somethings stays with you. Wanted to see off roading and long journey. Deciding between Yezdi Adv and Xpulse 200 4V
Thanks for the great review. Was thinking of getting the BMW GS but after your reviews I think I will consider buying one of these with the awesome paint job!
Yes Anil, at the price point it makes a lot of sense... But remember end of the day it's a 200 cc and a perfect all rounder... Color scheme is surely a head Turner on the road and parking places ...
@@motovin77 Thx, I'm a new rider and what you just put on display - suspensions, flick ability, smaller engine for slower cruising speeds, great for city and off-road is all I ever need for now. I even love the way it sounds, please share more footage on adventure trails if any. Q - You made passing comment about Versys, don't understand why they would be any less fun than Xpluse. Is your Versys 300, 650 or 1000?
@@AnilJacobs Versys isn't a great off-roading machine, it's a much better sports tourer on tarmac.... And certainly not an all rounder like Xpulse which is one bike that can do it all....
You make very informative videos that's why I like your channel and also I've got same bike as well so it's nice to hear what you have to say and inform us Keep it up
Sir, if I have to choose between cb highness 350 and xpulse, which one should I pick ? For Bangalore road I think we need xpulse like suspenssion. But light bike has limitations on highway. Cb 350 will be good on highway, has good mileage and better cruising speed. Xpulse is good on pocket for servicing and spare parts. Xpulse has tube tyre and puncture is a concern as we can’t self fix on trips, has off road tyre and not sure how it performs on good highway roads . Please suggest
No stress absolutely when cruising at 100 kmph... Mileage not much into it, just want to enjoy the ride, but yes riding at 60 and riding at 100 will have slight difference in mileage...
Hi, Your reviews are quite informative. It influenced my decision. I bought red & black, and just completed my first ride of 150 kms. I felt seat modification is necessary. would you recommend that?
Im from Darjeeling, West Bengal and Im too thinking of buying HERO XPULSE 200 4V... So is it worth buying for our hilly region... Plzzz do guide me biro...
Recommended max pay load is 130kg, if overloaded beyond this there is bound to be a drop in mileage. Else we should be good with pillion or luggage to the 130 kg point .. if over loaded one could see 10-20 % drop in mileage

XPulse goes like a breeze on everything, giving a tough competition to other Advs 😀
Quite an interesting allrounder bike ✌

At what height of a person the bike would be comfortable to ride ?
Minimum 5.8 to be able to flat foot... If you are confident even lesser height can manage

Does the stock suspension has good rebound preload or should one opt for adjustable suspensions in your case...
Best suspension for an ADV bike so far .. nothing more needed ..
This is not a Krishnagiri dam bro,after Krishnagiri 10 kms nly u got KRP Dam
What's the top speed before 1 service and after 1 service
Please reply
No top speed before 1st service, after 1st service i have gone upto 100 kmph, you can see the full video pls 🙏
How much you getting in only highway while cruising at speed of 90 to 100 ???
40-45 kmpl
Did you see any stress on the bike at constant 100kmph
And did the highway mileage take a hit because of that speeds

Thanks 🙏 i did a 500 km ride in a single day and felt the new seat was quite comfortable. But one can always modify based on need.

I have posted a video of Xpulse performance in Ghats, Bike was pulling really well and you can definitely consider
My question is does the pickup and mileage suffer due to extra weight of a pillion or saddle stand sliders etc etc... if yes then how much

How much mileage you are getting in both city & highway after your first service
45-50 kmpl i am getting
@@motovin77 Thanks for the Info
What speed at 6500 rpm mate? Enjoyed video mate
Hi Excellent Video as usual
Are there any heating issues on your bike
Take Care n Safe Riding
Thanks Jerry, absolutely no heating issue.
Thank you for your kind reply
Safe Riding
Isn't it unsafe to push to such speeds considering the single channel abs?
Not really upto 100 bike was absolutely in control and brakes from Nissin were confidence inspiring too...
it comes down to knowing the stopping distance of the bike which you learn over time and gain comfort with doing highway speeds.
What gloves do you use mate?
