Hero XPulse 200T & Xtreme 200S 4V discontinued
Hero MotoCorp has discreetly discontinued the XPulse 200T and Xtreme 200S 4V motorcycles from its offerings. Both models have been removed from the company's official website. While the XPulse 200T and Xtreme 200S were developed on the XPulse platform, the off-road variant achieved immediate popularity, whereas the other two models failed to attract a similar level of interest and faced challenges in sales volume. It is important to highlight that the Xtreme 200S 4V received an update last year, which included the introduction of a four-valve engine along with other enhancements.
The Xtreme 200S was a sports commuter complete with a full fairing and comfortable ergonomics. Both bikes used the same 199.6 cc single-cylinder, air and oil-cooled engine, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The XPulse 200T was priced at ₹1.40 lakh, while the full-faired Xtreme 200T was priced at ₹1.41 lakh (ex-showroom) before being discontinued.
