- 🏍 Royal Enfield Himalayan 🆚 🏍Hero XPulse 200 Comparison Test Review
🏍 Hero XPulse 200 India Price is Rs 1.05 lakh for the FI version. 🏍 Royal Enfield Himalayan is priced at Rs 1.82 lakh (all prices ex-showroom Delhi)
🏍 Hero XPulse 200 vs Royal Enfield Himalayan. Which one is better? Let us know in the comments.
🏍 The Hero XPulse 200 is available in five colours, while the Royal Enfield Himalayan is available in three colours.
The Hero XPulse 200 is the company’s latest adventure-style motorcycle and a successor to the Impulse. The XPulse is powered by a 199cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 18.4PS and 17.1Nm in its fuel-injected (FI) guise. It’s also available with a carburettor setup. Hero MotoCorp offers long-travel suspension at both ends of the XPulse 200 - 37mm front forks with 190mm travel and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock with 180mm travel. There are disc brakes at both ends with single-channel ABS as standard. It also features an LED headlight as well as an all-digit instrument cluster that gets Bluetooth connectivity for displaying phone calls and turn-by-turn GPS navigation information.
Royal Enfield’s Himalayan has been around since 2016, and since then has seen some changes in the form of the fuel-injected version and more recently, dual-channel ABS as standard. The Himalayan engine, the LS410, is a 411cc single-cylinder air-cooled unit that generates 24.83PS of power and 32Nm of torque. At 220mm, it’s got SUV-rivalling ground-clearance and yet manages a very manageable seat height of just 800mm. The fat 41mm front forks have 200mm travel while the rear preload-adjustable monoshock has 190mm of travel. The Himalayan doesn’t get much in the way of features and sports an analogue instrument cluster with a small digital display for some basic information as well as a digital compass.

Oil cooling system, additional 6th gear ,+2hp, +2NM torque and a few mm longer seat will be a game changer for the Hero Xpulse 200...
Kartikeya: Xpulse is the better bike here.
Priyadarshan: I completely agree with you. But Himalayan is the better bike here.
Kartikeya: I completely agree with you.
Lol, thats true.
Hahahahaahahaaa......
Gd is happening
N the viewers are idiot.
Kartikeya and Priyadarshan: Completely agree with u 🤣
I am your dad here
All completely agree that
I had himalayan for few months, the thing which I loved in it is the seating comfort 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Karthik bhai kahan the aap... I was waiting for a video from you... I still remember your Impulse vs the Thar video.
Bulu Patnaik I am waiting for ur xpulse tour video
Sir! Honour to have you here. 😀 So glad to know you have watched that too. Maybe next year we do it again with the new Thar! What say!?
@@SirKart arey Karthik bhai, I am an old follower, learnt so much from ur videos.
Absolutely bro one more Xpulse n Thar video will be great fun.
@@BuluBiker hahaha that was a full fluke video! Thank you for spending time here sir!
@@BuluBiker what happened to your upper mustang trip on Xpulse 200 ??
Finally!! The comparison most of us have been waiting for..And what a comparison guys!! XPulse was very underrated but now we know..A Big Thank you to Kartikeya and Priyadarshan for enlightening us. This video made me happy :)
Hullo Sir! And thank you for sharing the happiness! Definitely makes us happy!
Hats off, The real comparison video should be like this.
I saw a xpulse and a Himalayan talking each other.
It’s the incompetence of the Himalayan rider. I own a Himalayan bs4. And believe me it’s a beast on and off road.
They both ride both bikes so xpulse is easier to ride
Shut up I too own a Himalayan, you know nothing about short gear motorcycles
i am soooo happy for Hero, that finally they have managed to make something worth the money after these many years
Amazing narration, Hero has made a fabulous motorcycle but you guys educate people about it and it's capabilities. Thank you!
A very comprehensive, well covered healthy comparison. U both won our heart and brain. 💓💓💓
🙏🙏 thank you for taking the time!
And kidney
Wonderful review guyz. I have been waiting for long. As an automobile enthusiast i can see that your growth....keep going guyz. 👍
Honda had a adventure bike based on same engine as Karizma ( CRF230F), but differently tuned. Had Hero built that bike 4 years ago, it could have killed Himalayan!
I have been thinking why would they not use Karizma's engine and tune it, also the chassis were not bad to make an adventure bike out of ig
@@bhaskardangat
Why would they want to keep paying more and more royalty for using Honda products
@Arun kottolli correct.....Honda has a rich history and one of a kind technology...unparalleled...
CbR250 is a legend came way ahead if it's time.....
No bike can kill a bullet. King is always king. Cheetah vs lion
Himalayan is good. But Xpulse is more practical. All terrain bike with relatively low maintenance, low ownership cost, updated features with robust build quality. Awesome review. Kudos to HERO. Thanks Zigwheels.
Look who is reviewing the Indian made machine 😍😍😍😍😍 fanboy forever of you and your work 😎😍😍😍😍😍
One helluva content this! Do more of this buys! Kudos
The best made in India multipurpose all-in-one bike would be:
250cc XPulse (read better top highway speed) with dual-switchable ABS and 6 gears, better pillion seat.
OR
Himalayan with 650 twin and switchable ABS
parellel twin
Incredible video!
The xpulse wins it for me. (Ofcourse I'm looking at it as a secondary bike)
And would have 300 twin as a tourer / primary motorcycle alongside.
Himalayan neither does off-road as good as xpulse nor comes close to what even a CBR250R does on the highways which is also around the same price bracket.
CBR 250r vs Himalayan..
Seriously??😂😂
@@shehinmohammed480
Ikr, should have compared it to a FZ25 instead. CBR 250R is too good to be compared with that crap xD
PS - We are talking highway, why not?
300 twin as tourer? and ANOTHER bike for off road? go with a Versys 300 instead.. or raise the bar for a Benelli 502 X
@@MotorDanko
Nah, need something light and cheap, could to be thrown at the trails and not to be worried about. Xpulse does it for me xD
@@Mototzigane Indian highways. Himalayan deserves more credit than you are giving.
Best comparison video between two INDIAN manufacturers
Time is changing
Himalayan is good but Hero is surprise everyone with their R & D in positive way
Waiting for next upgrade (big Cc) model for both
Great video
both of you best 👌👌
Thank you sir! And agree - huge achievement by Hero!
@@SirKart thanks brothers for reply 🤗
300cc Xpulse will smoke himalayan i guess.
Simply loved this one. I keep waiting for PD and KS with their new videos. It's not just a review, i feel connected to you guys, the way u talk and communicate.
Absolute gem of a review guys! The content, presentation and i involvement.. Fab!✌️
Kartik sir and Priyadarshan sir recreated the magic of mighty Hayabusa vs Kawasaki zx 14 r. Following both of you since you were a part of Autocar India
The Best comprehensive review for xpulse in youtube. Also to tour in impluse one may alter the sprockets !!
If anyone is avoiding Himalayan it's because of maybe price ,bad service ..poor built quality...as compared to xpulse by considering this statement ....X pulse is better than Himalayan...
NB : not a Himalayan hatter,the truth that all know is that royal Enfield provide bad service in so many areas...
In your dreams
yes i can feel that i had a classic and boi it was ass in terms of service
Fantastic video. Super editing. Mind boggling reviewers. Finally nice videos. 💙💙💙💙
Well put together.... Hats off zigwheels team🙌 the end was fantastic.. 🌪️
Xpulse is lighter, so more suitable in such muddy road, which all dirt bikes excel at. But for long touring runs, bigger and heavier bike is preferable.
Imagine offroading on the royal enfield, I can't find a stupider way to die.
The Perfect bike ? I think TVS might be able to do it,They can use the current 200cc O3C 4V Engine,Give it a 6 speed,Keep it carburetted (higher reliability),Use a scaled down version of the SHERCO Apache RTR FX's frame,suspension components.etc and price it slightly higher than the XPulse.
Will they do it ? Nah.
Really very informative and helpful comparo..... Love your efforts... Thank you very much
That himalayan guy is a paid actor
:: change my mind 😏
Sry i changed my mind
Both of them are paid actors.
Of course they are paid (salary)
Pfft.... Even the bikes are paid. *\0/*
Even you are paid to work
@@TheFaheemrazak hahahaha 💕💕
@@SlicknTyred thanks much! ❤️
Xpulse should come in 250cc as well as 6th gear
300cc would be great
@@PassionateBiker 310 cc bike will arrive before 2022
@@asl3151 do you have any source fr that ?
@Navin Navee the only good pulsars were the good old 150, 180 & 220.
200 NS got success because it had a style & it shared a KTM engine.
The newer Pulsars are shit.
Look at 200 RS, the ugliest looking spots bike on the planet.
I doubt that Bajaj can make success with Pulsars anymore.
They've lost the track.
@@anitagarg3316 mam, they are developing a 310cc single...
Thanks for putting in the effort to articulate it to this extent, guys. Much better content and perspectives than the other comparison vids out there so far on the same subject. Mostly fair comparison too. Just wish you'd have ridden it over longer distances, more varied terrain, and more challenging offroad sections (loose rock surfaces, sand, water crossings, pockmarked roads, hilly trails etc) for a few days and come to your conclusions.
I disagree with the bit about xpulse being at best a 2nd bike in the garage. Most people who'd buy an xpulse probably wouldn't give a shit about having a 2nd bike or 3rd bike. I mean, that's what a dual sport is for isn't it... to avoid the hassles of owning multiple specialized bikes? If I didn't own an Impulse, I'd still pick the Xpulse over the Himalayan even if it means a tad slower highway speeds because I wouldn't buy the bike just to ride the highway in the first place. And IMO, the xpulse is far ahead in terms of overall usability compared to the Himalayan simply because of the lower weight. But I do get the easy natured appeal of the Himalayan. Easy to ride on the road, easy to tractor off the road, just as long as things don't get tricky.
And yeah, just the inclusion of a 6th gear and an easy 100-110 kmph cruising capability would have hit the value proposition out to space. It should have been a no brainer decision for Hero. I'm sure they could have cut costs elsewhere like the stupid looking luggage rack. I just don't understand manufacturers. My Suzuki 150 cc from 2010 has a 6th gear and does easy cruising at 90-100 kmph all day (It's overengineered for what it's supposed to be and takes a fair bit of offroad bashing too for being a roadbike).
Always a pleasure to watch these two reviewing bike. They've got incomparable passion. Love that moment when the Himalayan stuck in the slush.
Why dont you ever talk about reliability, after sales services and overall quality of parts? It's obvious that a new rider's purchase decision revolves around all the topics you discussed, but what about seasoned riders who want hassle free experience throughout their ownership?
When there is something exceptional to highlight, we do. We need to build a more substantive understanding before giving it flack/praise. In this case quality aspect of Himalayan has been addressed in the past. Thanks!
I believe after sale service of hero is miles ahead of RE. This is also a key aspect for bikers and hence xpulse has one up in that
@Srikar Lingampally well said. On point
@srikar lingampally . Well said brother . 90-95 is enough for indian roads . I’ve been touring on the impulse for 5 years at 80-90 , and i love the pace !
Jubin Varghese DONT TELL ME ASK KARIZMA ZMR 🤣
U guys make me feel like bikes have souls in them.... RESPECT Zigwheels 😍
But they do! Sorry, we will try to do justice for other bikes. Thanks for watching!
@@SirKart if possible bother, kindly do a review on ninja 1000, versys 1000 and the tiger xr as they would cost below 12 on road. One simply wont invest that much blindly........ So hope you would listen to humaari khawaaish. And maybe cbr 650r and the versys 650 as well.
Wow! This was a proper, proper off road test. Loved it. Wish more comparisons or tests are this thorough. Great job.
Wonderful review. Kept me engaged throughout. Subscribed the channel.
What a review! What an experience! The clarity of thought and the presentation.. Loved everything about the video ❤❤ thank you guys, my search for comparison between these two bikes ends here.
Love you guys thanks for making great relatable contents
Great comparison video. I just wished this was made after 4v was launched. Loved watching this.
perfekt review guys... the last summary specially !!!
Wow, wonderfully covered the pros and cons of each bike.
I was expecting the review by KARTIC .
Well explained.. but i am going to buy XPULSE 200..
Karick i am yr FAN

This comparision won me over.
Appreciate it sir. Thank you. 🙏
This is what we call is a truly heart touching, smartly done reviews and comparison between two machines. Good job guys
Sir! We are thrilled to hear from you. Thank you. - KS.
Nice comparison.. Reminded me of the old Thar vs Impulse video by Kartik & Ouseph..
Hahaha thank you for watching sir!! Now I feel like watching that!
The Himalayan isn't that great on the highway. I have felt several times that the tires may have got punctured but it is because of the tyre profile that there a mild wobble which feels weird during rides especially on rough tar or concrete roads.
The gearing is definitely tall for offroad and city which makes for a higher clutch usage.
The bike could have been better with a shorter first(just like the low range on SUVs) and an additional sixth gear.
However, the engine is very relaxed because of the low to mid range torque which helps maintain good speeds while touring. And the seating posture and suspension give a very comfortable ride.
Where the himalayan really scores is the ability to go comfortably over a mix of different types of terrain, be it highways, forest roads, village broken roads,etc; making it a good tourer for long distances where one would encounter different road conditions.
The bike isn't about going from point a to b quickly but rather to go comfortably from point a to b, and at the same time haul a decent amount of luggage for the journey as well!
Haven't yet ridden the XPulse as a test ride bike is not available at the local dealer, but hope to ride it soon and maybe buy one too!
Do let us know about your experience
Well if you're considering for a offroad bike hero splendor I've been ripping the bike forever. There's no roads that I've not tamed.
haha. The KING Splendor
What about crf250L??
😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish the comparisons would be this way...so interesting to watch
Like video nice chemistry of both of u intresting video this time u really did a fabulous job pls continue for same platform
KTM 390 Adventure glitching in the end ! Wah wah wah !!!!
12:32 blututh...
don't for some reason that made me laugh 😆😆😐
btw nice review 👌🔥
well done zigwheels !! the best comparison between two bikes. clearly covered every aspect.. well done once again..!
A perfect comparison made to understand the bikes.. Your presentation in this video was touchy, you felt the soul of the bikes and i could witness it.. Saw many other videos on the comparo between these two bikes, but yours is a stand out and nothing can come close to yours.. even if the manufacturers make one! Great going guys!!
by far best comparision. & yes i owe hero xpulse 200 t :)
so ur expecting KTM 390 adventure...to fill that gap...to discover this amazing country.
Unless they do something with that engine . It’s not going to be worth it . Unreliable rattle snake . High rev, blowing gaskets , no thank you .
@@viju09 The Adventure's engine is hopefully, not going to have the same compression ratio as the duke, and would make a little less power
The only question is when! Ktm has been making us wait for over a year now.
This is the best comparison video of anything that i evr watched, well done guyz
What a video... I just watch for couple of seconds and you people made me to watch entire video. Clean and fantastic explanation about two bikes 🙏🙏🙏
On a sunny day at hero motos design center-
THE SMART ENGINEER: sir the chassis and suspension system for our new performance range is ready. I think we should use the 223cc engine we have. It's our most torquey motor and we can also add a 6th cog. It will be great sir!
DESIGN CHIEF: beta..... You are working at the center for innovation and technology. There will be no innovation if we use the legacy of our old partner. Let me show you how it's done ( takes the 150cc honda mill and rebores it). See beta we've got an ALL NEW engine. Now this is what you call INNOVATION!
MUNJAL: we will dominate the segment for sure.
🙈
Xpulse❤️
That adventure 390 teaser at the end was epic! "One bike to rule them all; one bike that can take everything India has on offer..." :) Got to say, in 2022, I am tempted about an xpulse with rally kit, alongside my dominar which could eventually make way for the adventure 390 once I get enough off road chops on the xpulse to deserve the 390 adv. It's a difficult task to find that one bike to do it all.
Very happy to see both of you again Priyadarshan sir and Kartik sir.
Highway touring +offroad then himalayan
If only city commuting+offroading then xpulse
I choose himalayan
Finally it's not about the bike it's about the money. The more you spend, the better you get. Liked your video and subscribed. Good job, keep posting the great videos like this.
One of the best compilation!! Shots are look like Flim, Keep Rocking Guys!!
Wonderful review and answers almost all the questions related to these affordable products. Zigwheels have a come a long way! Kudos!
If you don't like both of them, buy a mojo ger a Scropion STR tyre a good bash plate and rynox gear will cost you 2.5L on road you get extra 5 ps and better brakes, engine, smooth engine (MotoGP derived)
It will be cheaper than Himalayan which is 2.6L on road with all the gismo
(Bangalore prices)
Such a killer comprehensive review. Just happy that i was not the one deciding (or waiting to know) which one among these wins. Such a difficult task to choose.
The wait is still on, or maybe I have answer India is looking for. Maybe.
I’ve been waiting for this two bikes comparison 🤪
Wow. What a comparison. And superb making . Going to subscribe. Peace out ..
Xpulse without any doubt better bike. RE Himalayan is not reliable breaks frequently
X pulse with a old karizma r engine with fuel injection making around 22 to 24 bhp could have killed the competitions
Honda had a adventure bike based on same engine as Karizma ( CRF230F). Had Hero built that bike 4 years ago, it could have killed Himalayan!
Another missed opportunity was Mahindra Mojo Adventure edition. Mahindra talked about an adventure bike and then dropped it.
This is the best video of bike review I have seen. keep it coming 👍
That's how a review should be honest and unbiased, covering all important points, perfect.
Himalayan lovers hit me like👍👍👍
As a himalayan owner it gave me pains watching the video
himalayan is a beast in right hands i own it and never regretted a sibgle day about it
Loving this comparison.
Thorough.
Well presented.
More importance to the bike rather than showing other stuff like ppl or scenery.
Great discussions between you two.
Covering alotve aspects (stuff that I didn't even consider)
Reaaally good video choreography
Great music.
Great angles
Aaaaaaaand subscribed.
beautifully explained guys... loved it... cheers team.. that was really good comparison...
Himalayan reliability is doubtful till date, still it's a nightmare for some owner
7:42 I know exactly what he's talking about!!
You guys do the best comparison every time. Thank you always and advance
Amazing way of telling ....great stuff bro✌️✌️✌️
If Xpulse had atleast 300cc plus engine it would've smoked Himalayan.
But it doesnt.
Xpulse might struggle with luggages and stuffs, it’s more like dual sport rather adventure
Himalayan ❤️
I just loved the way both of you guys explained it
Solid! Best comparison vid. 👍👍👍👌👌
Maybe RE is holding the 650 Himalayan just to rub chillies in Bajaj's eyes for KTM 390 Adventure.
And maybe they are holding on to 390 Adventure just for 650 Himalayan, but that would make a joke itself.
Deadlock.
@@lalitsingh4826 Mexican Standoff
Thats why they say "Haathi mat paalo"🤣🤣😂😂
Himalayan 32Nm torque and exhaust note cannot be compared to any but I personally feel the suspension of xpulse is better than Himalayan.And I have ridden both the bikes today.Zigwheels won my heart for their honesty.Dino n bulu are also great motorcyclist.
