Hero XPulse 400 Set to Revolutionize India’s Adventure Touring Segment

Bigger engine, bolder design, and serious off-road capabilities — Hero’s flagship ADV gets ready for 2025 launch

Hero MotoCorp is all set to shake up the mid-range adventure touring segment with the much-anticipated Hero XPulse 400. Expected to launch by mid-2025, this motorcycle builds on the legacy of the XPulse 200, offering a more powerful engine, enhanced features, and serious touring capabilities. Designed with long-distance travel and rugged terrain in mind, the XPulse 400 is shaping up to be one of the most versatile motorcycles in Hero’s lineup.

Design and Styling: Rugged, Functional, and Bold

The XPulse 400 retains the characteristic round LED headlamp and minimalist flyscreen, staying true to the XPulse design DNA. However, it sports several significant updates that make it look much more muscular and adventure-ready. A larger fuel tank with pronounced shrouds, taller stance, box-section swingarm, and pannier mounts clearly signal the bike’s touring intentions. Spy shots suggest a single-piece seat and upright handlebars to ensure a comfortable posture for long rides.

Engine and Performance: Power Meets Versatility

At the heart of the XPulse 400 lies a 440cc single-cylinder oil and air-cooled engine, expected to be derived from the Hero Mavrick 440. This powerplant is tuned to deliver around 27 bhp and 35 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox, making it ideal for both off-road adventure and highway cruising. The gear ratios are likely optimized for torque delivery and versatility across terrains.

Suspension, Wheels, and Braking: Built for All Terrains

The XPulse 400 will feature:

  • 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels
  • Dual-purpose knobby tires for enhanced grip on trails
  • Optional suspension setups including traditional telescopic forks and upgraded USD forks
  • Dual-channel ABS with disc brakes at both ends
  • High ground clearance, expected to be over 220mm, making it suitable for deep ruts and rocky trails

These features ensure the bike is ready to handle India's diverse road conditions, from mountain paths to open highways.

Tech Features and Console: Smart and Connected

The XPulse 400 is expected to come equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster, offering:

  • Turn-by-turn navigation
  • Bluetooth smartphone connectivity
  • Call and message alerts
  • Switchable ABS
  • Possibly ride modes (not confirmed yet)

This makes it a modern machine that keeps both performance and connectivity in focus.

Conclusion: A Game-Changer in the Making

The Hero XPulse 400 is Hero MotoCorp’s boldest step yet into the premium adventure touring market. With its larger engine, adventure-focused ergonomics, and modern features, it is positioned to attract both seasoned tourers and first-time ADV buyers. If Hero prices it aggressively around the ₹2.4 lakh mark, the XPulse 400 could easily become the best-value adventure bike in India. Enthusiasts can look forward to its launch by mid-2025, when it is expected to take Indian roads—and trails—by storm.
