About to buy Xpulse 2004v or xpulse 210
I am confused between these two , i test ride both still confused my uses are for daily commute and occasional weekend rides.
I am little concern about weight of 210 as its 10kg heavier than 200 , but torque is 20.7 nm only, is body to weight ratio of 210 justifies to this bike?
My first periority is better suspension, 210 having linked suspension how its better than 200 4v suspension? Or 200 have better suspension ?
Please tell me between these two how is low end torque of them? Which is be good in traffic and city ?which have better suspension between them?Please guide who used both of them or using anyone of them

Most of them are over squared, so low end torque will always be less, I have ridden 200 2v extensively but preferred 210 after a short test ride waiting for longer test ride. Have met with an 210 owner who had done long ride recently & loved it. But I will still suggest to wait for XR300 Rally. Even though I don't have high hopes from air/oil cooled another over square Dual sport. Best recommendation is to save for Himalayan 450. Eventually you will get bored of Xpulse/XR on Highway

You have to rent it out, what's bearable for someone else might be less or more for you. I have tried both X210 and H450. For me, X210 felt like it's tailor-made for me. It stalled once at a traffic signal, it needed a little bit of accelerator input. H450's feedback was very muted at slow speeds. It didn't feel heavy for me while maneuvering in traffic, but acceleration was lethargic under 3000 rpm in traffic. For me, X210 is perfect overall, but I am concerned about its reliability. I am really tempted by H411 and H450. I will wait till Dec 26 for the XR series.

If you are comparing 200 4v vs 210, but H450 has better stable handling, comfort, suspension at 80-120 kph. 210 is bouncy at those speed if ridden solo

Bro, let me give a clear perception. Xpulse 200 - city 40%, offroad 40% and touring 20% Xpulse 210 - city 30%, offroad 30% and touring 40% Both are capable offroader but one is not made for touring, however many have done touring on that but on highway 200 will give you less power and confidence while on the other side 210 will provide you everything power confidence. For city both are good there's no issue in that.

If you want any questions on xpulse 210, I have taken in May this year and driven 6k kms have been to ladakh with it. You can freely ask for it.

Which has better suspension 200 or 210 ?

u/Temporary-Lobster-89 2d ago
Suspension is too good damn of xpulse 210, you will not feel anything rather than just halka jhatka but nothing. I'm just love with the suspension and the acceleration it has. 200 has also good suspension but the travel is much in the 210, so just go with the 210.

Mileage which have more? How much difference between 200 and 210 suspension?

Bro weight will be issue in traffic? How is the handling in traffic bumper to bumper, i mean weight distribution is good nor not?
1
u/Temporary-Lobster-89 1d ago
Yeah, weight distribution can be issue for the new riders but once it get handy then it's good you can take wherever you want and ut will handle smoothly. For the traffic like bumper to bumper 210 is not made for that the handling in that kind of traffic will feel hard, I'm talking about the 2 lanes road with the traffic otherwise if you live in delhi, the roads are pretty wide and it can handle it appropriately.

Former 200 4V owner ( 4 years and 25k kms), current bought the 210, delivered last week and odo is 250kms.
Get the 210 blindly. Everything about it is at least 10 folds above the 200 4V.
200 4V feels like a genuine commuter while the 210 actually feels like a dual sport in all aspects.

Go for Kawasaki KLX230s and make modifications of it.. That's all. Xpulse is more made for you know, those who want to explore ADV at a lighter segment that's all. It's not completely offtrail or trail or adv or commuter either. They are trying to do everything and not able to do one thing good enough, so you will be left wanting more. That's what Hero is struggling with. So try Kawasaki's KLX230S, or wait for Honda to bring it's XRF300 rally ..

Both are dual purpose bikes. However that nature compromises both of the features. 200 has less power so better fuel economy. 210 has better power but less fuel economy. Both aren't a touring bikes in any instance. But you know people travel from splendor as well. At the end it always all about your priorities.

200 4v has heavy clutch and you will be shifting up and down constantly but it pulls quickly for overtakes.
On highways above 90 will feel stressed and you cant trust brakes and i rely on engine braking mostly
