Pros Cons of Hero XPulse 200T

Pros

  • Modern features
  • Comfortable riding position
  • Good handling

Cons

  • Vibrates at high speed
  • Polarising design
  • Misses fuel injected engine

Verdict

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.

Verdict

The TVS Apache RTR 180 offers a comfortable riding position for daily commutes, and in terms of design, has a sporty appeal. However, it could do better with an updated instrument cluster and better brakes.

Plus, it is easy to maintain, with economical running costs.
