Hero XPulse 200T vs Ather 450 Comparison

A tourer version to the Xpulse range, the Xpulse 200T offers equally satisfying ride in the city as it does on the highways, coupled with excellent handling dynamics going over in corners helps its case. However, the design is not its strongest virtue, as is a vibrating engine at higher speeds that creeps into the handlebar. The absence of a fuel injected engine also adds to a low refinement on the engine.

It is a viable alternative to a conventional scooter offering impressive performance, excellent riding dynamics and, sheer practicality despite the limited range. The scooter's tech-laden nature also makes it quite the gadget to have. With an asking price of about ₹ 1.25 lakh (on-road, Bangalore), the Ather 450 isn't too differently priced than the top-of-the-line iPhone. In either case, it's a premium for what's on sale but we do think it's a worthy buy, for you will enjoy the experience.
