if you are buying xpulse 200 4v for long touring, the biggest incompatibility that you will face is you cannot use saddle bags with upswept exhaust. You can but the width will be more than the handlebars. That is not the issue with xpulse 200T 4V. Also regarding Top Box installation, since both the chassis are same, you can replace the rear grab rail of 200T so it becomes perfect for saddle bags and top box. the 4V Engine has enough power to ride with a pillion at a speed of 90 all day long, so that setup works. Also if you will go with 200T, you will get tubeless tyres so you don't need to worry about punctures. But then, you will have to forget the offroading with this beast. as the short suspension and tyres on 200T kill the fun. I wish 200 and 200T marry and create a child with tubeless tyres and exhaust between straight and upswept angle 😂
T version might not be suitable for extreme off road jumping, but it has adequate long suspension travel for mild off rd. riding compare to many other bike.So it is still better off roader than other bike for riding bad road.Base on my 2800km experiance.
Plus point for Xpulse 200T 4v. 1.Tubeless tyre.This make more sense to choose T version as tyre puncture can be a severe problem when riding on highway, remote area where there is no nearby tyre works. 2.Moderate seat height. T version has moderate seat height of 795mm which is much more accessible and comfortable for all rider. Low seat height has more advantage when riding on off road ang trail riding. 3.T version suit for more all riding purpose such as Touring, mild off road, highway riding, city riding, riding to college, office and Church etc. Lets call it best all rounder bike. 3.Updated version of xpulse 200T 4v has unique looks which make it uncommon bike where ever you ride it. 4.Most of the Xpulse 200 owner might not ride for off rd. Let assume even the off rd enthusiast riding off road 20% out of total ride. So why not T version as it good for many riding purpose and still more capable for mild off rd than most of the modern street bike. 5.Lastly, T version is best underrated all rounder bike as it is better than many street bike for off road and better than some off rd bike on highway riding, street riding, and city riding and rural road riding.
Bro just wait for XPULSE 400cc bike...the new 200 T 4v doesn't make such a difference apart from slight engine performance and that's it all that asthenic changes are not much useful..like u will find the necessity of installing winid screen proper grab rail and kk knuckle gaurds.... Finally don't buy this bike yet because as a user of 200 T 2v , I strongly recommend u to wait for much awaited 400 cc bike it will be worth for every rupee spent
Im someone who not only sees jus the performance but for the looks as well like how will i look when i ride this bike does the bike looks good on me all that so in that case 200 4v is ❤️ cuz im a tall person and a bit bulky.so it does matter.
Xpulse 200 4v is better, because 90% of its users wont do extreme off road and ive not seen xpulse users jumping their bikes like we see in redbul stunts😅 So its more than enough kind of bike for off-road experience But! Xpulse 200 4v should have one more option as "tubeless/alloy" wheel for not serious off-roading 200T seems practical one as compared to 200 4V because it has tubeless tyres and the height is normal so anyone can ride it easily. Also itll become a commuter/tourer/semi off-road bike.. But little bit work on mileage would make it hot Choice for us! Atleast lowest of 45kmpl and max 50kmpl.. (maybe if possible with this 200cc engine)
It's been a year am riding xpulse 200 4v, I easily cruise 90 to 100 in tours with no vibrations and nothing, I have did maximum of 700km in a day comfartably
