Hero MotoCorp has reopened bookings for the second batch of the Xpulse 200 4V.  Those looking to buy the motorcycle can book online at Hero's eSHOP by making an advance payment of Rs 10,000. The company had temporarily closed bookings for the Xpulse 200 4V after the first batch was sold out. Along with reopening the bookings, the company has also hiked the bike’s price by Rs 2,000 to Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The Hero Xpulse 200 4V was launched recently and  replaces the simple two-valve OHC set-up for its 199.6cc air-cooled engine with a four-valve configuration. Four-valve set-ups help the engine breathe better at higher RPMs, giving better top-end performance. The four-valve version now makes 19.1hp and 17.35Nm of torque as compared to the 2V’s figures of 18.1hp and 16.45Nm. The Hero Xpulse 200 4V also uses updated switchgear, oil-cooler and a 21 percent brighter LED headlight. 

The bike is available in three colours – Trail Blue, Blitz Blue and Red Raid.
