The Hero Xpulse 200 has proven to be a sleeper hit amongst budget conscious adventure riding enthusiasts. It is a capable machine and perhaps your best bet to learn riding off-road. Recently, ace rally rider CS Santosh put up a post on Instagram which said, "We @jrodrigues_dk27 and me are very excited to introduce you to something very cool and new coming your way soon!! Very soon"! He and his teammate at Hero MotoSports, Joaquim Rodridgues are seen aboard the newly launched Hero Xpulse 200 4V. It could be that they are in Ladakh, shooting a new commercial or a video with the Hero Xpulse 200 4V or it could be something else entirely, whatever the case may be, it is always a delight to see the likes of CS Santosh flying through the air on a rally-prepped motorcycle.
