Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 vs Hero XPulse 200T Comparison

There is no doubt about the fact that there are a lot of takers for motorcycles like the V-Strom SX. Popping colours, tall stance, mini-ADV looks, decent capability and not super heavy on the pocket. It does have a lot of capability, great highway manners and for a motorcycle that costs less than two and a half lakh rupees, it makes great sense even in a segment that is loaded with options such as the Royal Enfield Himalayan.

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.
