For too long, the UK adventure motorcycling scene has waited, watched and yearned for an accessible, no-nonsense dual-sport machine. The wait is officially over. Get ready, riders: the Hero XPulse and the hardcore XPulse Pro are expected to make their highly-anticipated UK Premier at Motorcycle Live 2025!
Hero MotoCorp has signaled its serious intent for the British market through its partnership with MotoGB and a bold European expansion. The world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer is now bringing its Dakar Rally-proven DNA right to the NEC in Birmingham.
The XPulse platform has already earned a reputation globally as the ultimate "do-it-all" adventure machine that won't break the bank. It offers a perfect blend of lightweight agility for daily commuting and genuine off-road capability for weekend escapes.
The Foundation: Powered by a responsive 199.6cc, 4-valve, oil-cooled engine, the XPulse delivers punchy, usable power perfect for UK trails and backroads.
Ready for Anything: Its dual-sport setup, including a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel, ensures it can eat up potholes and tackle light off-roading with ease.
Modern Tech: Expect features like a full-digital console with Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation—a must-have for any modern adventure rider.
For the serious dirt enthusiast, the Pro version is the machine that takes the XPulse from capable dual-sport to a genuine off-road weapon.
