7.1/10The Hero Xpulse 200T is based on the Xpulse 200 but is more suited to touring. The Xpulse 200T has 17-inch black alloy wheels, a fully digital instrument panel with Bluetooth navigation, LED headlights, taillights, and disc brakes on both ends, all in a retro-inspired appearance. It does, however, only come with single-channel ABS. The Xpulse 200T is powered by a 199.6cc single-cylinder oil-cooled engine that produces 17.8hp and 16.15Nm of torque.
The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Hero currently offers the Xpulse 200T in only one variant that sells for Rs 1.16 lakh (ex-showroom). One can have the bike in three colour options - Sport Red, Panther Black, and Matte Shield Gold.
On the road, the 200T rides just like a regular street bike. The suspension has a fair amount of pliancy, which keeps things comfy, but it doesn't chew into craters as the Xpulse does. The grippy MRF rubber helps with handling, but the bike isn't as snappy or dynamic as the Xtreme due to a more relaxed steering angle and a longer wheelbase.
Although the suspension travel on the 200T is shorter, it hasn't harmed the ride quality. Sure, the Xpulse flattens virtually everything better. The 200T, on the other hand, stays level and pleasant until the pothole is extremely deep, the bump has a cliff-like edge, or you utterly misjudge a towering speed breaker. However, if any of the situations as mentioned above play out, the T's front end will crash. Its rear will kick as well.
The Xpulse 200T is designed as a touring motorbike. Thus the riding position is upright and comfortable. It is easily maneuverable even in city traffic and is completely manageable even for short riders. Compared to the Xpulse 200, this one has better handling, and the 200T seems nimbler and more agile in corners.
Following are the tech features of Xpulse 200T:
The fuel tank on the Hero Xpulse 200T has a 13-litre capacity, and the bike should return a fuel efficiency of roughly 40kmpl under normal riding conditions. The bike should offer you a range of close to 520km once you go for a full top-up. This is really good if you wish to go touring.
It has a typical performance, with torque and tractable performance at lower speeds but a propensity to run out of breath over 110kph. While the XPulse's power statistics are the same, the bike's optional fuel injection adds a little smoothness to the engine, making it less irritated when forced to maintain high speeds for an extended period. Nonetheless, the performance found on both XPulses is suitable for rapid city work or slow difficult trails, but not for easy travel.
As it is, the Xpulse T is a street bike, and at Rs 1.18 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), it's a reasonably priced one at that. It's also a better bargain than the Xtreme 200R because it comes with a complete LED headlight and a Bluetooth-capable LCD instrument panel with turn-by-turn navigation. If you decide to buy this machine, keep in mind that the only Xpulse-related experience you'll receive is from the design and the name.
Pros
Cons
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.
Hero XPulse 200T is available in 3 different colors namely Black, Matte Shield Gold & Candy Blazing Red.
