According to a media report, Hero MotoCorp has discontinued the Xpulse 200 2V. Looks like Hero was waiting for the inventory of the bike to get over before taking it off the shelves. It was speculated that the 200 2V would be discontinued after the launch of the Xpulse 200 4V.
In terms of pricing, the hero Xpulse 200 2V was priced at INR 1.27 lakh, which just is INR 10,000 less than the newly launched Xpulse 200 4V. The Xpulse 200 4V is priced at INR 1.37 lakh, but as the name suggest, it gets 4 valves, thereby giving the bike a few more horses. The 4V developed 18.8 BHP and 17.35 Nm of torque.
Apart from this change, there was no major difference between the two bikes. The 4V also gets some more new paint schemes. Hence for prospective buyers it makes sense to get the higher power version over the older model.
At present, the Xpulse range starts at 4V. That said, Hero is working on a larger Xpulse 400 that will soon join the stable. The Xpulse 400 will get a 350-400cc engine that was head against the likes of the KTM 390 Adventure and the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.
For the month of November 2022, Hero sold 3,90,932 units of two-wheelers. The world’s largest two-wheeler maker reported a growth of 12 per cent over the corresponding month of the previous year. At that time, i.e. in November 2021, the company had sold 349,393 units.
Additionally, in the month of November the company’s electric mobility brand VIDA, launched its first Experience Center in Bangalore. Vida aims at offering an immersive and completely differentiated experience to customers. VIDA will soon open Experience Centers next in Jaipur and Delhi. The deliveries of the much-awaited VIDA V1 are expected commence in the second week of December 2022.
