The most prominent change is in the powerplant, with the 199.6 cc single-cylinder engine getting a four-valve head, with marginally more power and torque. There are other small changes too, all aimed at improving Hero MotoCorp's entry-level adventure bike with improved lighting, cosmetic updates, as well as changed gearing. Here's a look at the top 5 highlights on the improved Hero XPulse 200 4 Valve.

1. Design & Features
The new Hero XPulse 200 4 Valve retains the same dimenstions, but gets new dual-tone colours, and graphics. Kerb weight has increased by 1 kg, and seat height by 2 mm. The LED headlight now offers 20 per cent better illumination, an area where the two-valve XPulse 200 lacked in. Even the oil-cooler is slightly bigger, with a 7-fin design, to aid in better heat management.

2. Engine & Performance
The 199.6 cc single-cylinder, air and oil-cooled engine now gets a four-valve head. Power has increased by 1 bhp, and peak torque 0.90 Nm. The engine now makes 19 bhp at 8,500 rpm and peak torque of 17.35 Nm at 6,500 rpm.
3. Changed Gearing

4. Taller Seat, Slightly More Weight
Seat height has increased by 2 mm to 825 mm, and kerb weight has increased by 1 kg to 158 kg. It's still a compact and light motorcycle, and seat height isn't too tall for riders of average height.
5. Price & Variants
Priced at Rs. 1,30,150 (Ex-showroom), the Hero XPulse 200 4 Valve offers a very good option even for experienced riders, as a second or third bike to have some weekend fun, riding dirt trails outside the city. The XPulse 200 4 Valve is available in a single variant, but a homologated Rally Kit approved by the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) is available as an optional accessory with more suspension travel, and off-road tyres.
