1. Hero XPulse 210: Design  

FIM World Champion Ross Branch, affiliated with the Hero Motosports Team Rally, played a significant role in the development of the next-generation Hero XPulse 210. The design draws inspiration from Hero's Dakar racing motorcycles and is marketed as "adventure-ready right off the showroom floor." Notable features include an upswept exhaust and an enduro-style tail section. The seat has been redesigned to enhance comfort levels. Although many stylistic elements resemble those of its 200 cc counterpart, several new body panels contribute to a more substantial overall appearance.

The Hero XPulse 210 is equipped with a modern 4.2-inch TFT instrument console that offers smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth.
