Hero MotoCorp is all set to expand its adventure motorbike lineup with the Hero Xpulse 300T. This bike promises to provide a better off-roading experience with more power and features.
Hero Xpulse 300T: Details
This new Xpulse will be placed above the Xpulse 200 & 210 and is going to be well-liked among adventure seekers who go off-road quite frequently. The Xpulse 200 is known for its robust build, which can handle rough terrain without breaking apart, and expect this from its upcoming 300cc sibling too.
The Xpulse 300T is expected to come with all off-roading necessities like a raised front fender, tall windscreen and knobby tyres to scale those rough terrains with ease. A split-seat design might be provided, but it’s most likely to go with the Xpulse 200’s seat design, which provides barely any space for pillion (you don’t need to carry people when off-roading).
A fully digital instrument cluster will also be provided with features like Bluetooth connectivity and navigation support. All LED lighting is also expected with the bike.
The Hero Xpulse 300T will likely be powered by a 300cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine and expect 27-30 bhp of power and 25-28 Nm of Torque, which will make it apt for rigorous off-roading and touring as well. It will also come equipped with fuel-injected technology for throttle response with a 6-speed transmission like the new Xpulse 210. Hero further hopes to provide tuning capabilities for the engine that will make it more touring-friendly.
The bike will likely get long-travel suspension to counter those uneven terrains. The front will get USD forks while the rear will get a monoshock with preload-adjustment. This setup will provide good ride quality for both highway touring and off-roading. The braking department would be taken care of by disc brakes on both ends and a dual-channel ABS that would balance control and safety.
Hero Xpulse 300T: Expected Price and Launch Date
The Xpulse 300T, just like other Hero products, will be priced aggressively and as such might be priced somewhere between Rs 2 Lakh to Rs 2.20 Lakh (ex-showroom). The bike is expected to make its debut in the automobile industry by late 2025, and is expected to compete with the likes of Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure.
If the bike does come with the above-mentioned features and price, the Xpulse 300T will surely lure adventure riders who are in the market for a budget-friendly tourer and a rugged off-roading machine both.
