Hero Xpulse 210 or Xpulse 200 4V: Which is the better buy?

Should I buy the Hero Xpulse 200 or wait for the Xpulse 210 delivery? I was ready to buy the Hero Xpulse 200 4V, but I have seen recent reviews of the new Xpulse 210, and I’m considering whether I should upgrade to the new bike. The bike is not yet available in my area, while I can get ready delivery of the 200. Should I wait?

Autocar India says: The Xpulse 210 is definitely a big improvement over the 200, not just in terms of outright performance but also in areas like comfort and capability - both on and off road. We also found that the bike has better finish quality and more-adv like looks. What you should be aware of is that the seat height has gone up from 823mm to 830mm, and that weight has also increased by around 10kg to 170kg. Fuel efficiency will also be a little lower than the 200.

Based on our first ride review, which you can read here, the new 210 is a worthy upgrade for not a lot of money. We would suggest that you wait for a while, if possible, which is always a good thing with a brand new product, as it will reveal if there are any issues being faced by customers.
