There was a time when we used to travel long distances on 100 & 150 CCs. Now people are not satisfied with a 200 CC. I believe riding is all about passion and the bore size doesn't really matter. Of course we need to take more breaks on a lighter motorcycles, but that is the fun part of it right?

@nitin9837560 5 лет назад

I have had test ride of this bike...Overall this bike is the most VFM bike in the segment.... Ride quality is very good! Yes there are some quality issues like footpegs, Rear brake lever aren't of good quality and feel ill-fit. Also cables from the front wheels aren't neatly tucked. if anyone wants an off-road bike in extremely tight budget, this is the only option!!

Perhaps the export models are different, but the 2019 Himalayan I bought in the U.S. has been flawless. I'm a bit bigger than the average Indian guy, so the weight of the bike was less noticeable for me. I was so impressed, in fact, that I just bought a Classic 500 as well. For me, Indian craftsmanship is excellent.

Hero needs to make an expensive version of Xpulse with more power, torque. I would any day prefer Hero, their maintainability is the best there is.

@nitin9837560 5 лет назад

The reason is Hero has always failed to succeed in the performance bike segment that's why they have tried to put their 200cc bike's price agaisnt the rest of the 150-160cc bikes in the market.

The himalayan will climb up steep inclines fairly easily, but imagine a situation where you fall while climbing a steep incline! ( which is 95% likely to happen). It's then when you realise that the ADV being light matters more than having character.

I have booked Himalayan but recently I went on trip with my old Classic 350cc to Zigzag roads of Sikkim. I found it very challenging to lead the steep curves due to bike's heavy weight and that's when I got caught attention of my decision to buy Himalayan. Now am considering buying Hero Xpulse thus cancelling by booking for RE. Any comments on this would be highly appreciated.

@viju09 5 лет назад

Himalayan’s heavy weight is such a big turn off . It seriously needs to go on a diet . Where as xpulse needs more torque ( not bhp ) but it’s weight makes up for it . I would go with the Xpulse for those trail riding in coffee estates of Coorg . Cheap to maintain and repair . Easy to pick up when you fall and no ones around to help . Xpulse has more going for it than Himalayan.

@drury2d8 5 лет назад

They cant reduce weight. The engine and chassis are old school and rugged. You can shave 3 kgs by removing the tank guard and thats about it.

@ralphefernandes 5 лет назад

My friends Himalayan's engine had an issue so even his was changed FOC in around a months time. But this was when the first batch of Himalayans were made. Then RE fixed the issue and there are no major problems with the engines. However, as usual, the overall quality is not up to the mark, and the service technicians normally don't know what they are doing. Only a few know... but my friend uses it everyday and 99% of the time it is okay. Being RE, you cannot expect Honda quality.. Or even Hero quality, however, their quality is improving... slowly...

@bikes.and.knives 5 лет назад

The Xpulse makes for a superb 2nd bike if you have a faster primary bike for highway duties. I have a D390 but it's a pain to ride in the city or off road, low mileage, hard suspension & jerky throttle at low RPM's, the Xpulse makes perfect sense for me. I can use it as a commuter and take it off road for a bit of fun, and it's cheap AF. Killer product from Hero.

Hi, Autocar India, it's really good to watch the comparison between Hero Could & Royal Enfield Himalayan. You can watch video series of s Dutch woman named Ms.Norlay, who is riding Himalayan bike from India to Holland & she named the bike Basanti. Currently she is in Turkey. The video series is Itchy-Boots & currently is streaming on RU-vid. By watching her, one can easily understand why Himalayan bike is the best affordable off-road motorcycle.

@ankitdhasmana8788 5 лет назад

And if you can see, she regularly put new parts to the bike, she makes it affordable by spending a lot of money on changing parts.

@mrtobiasreiper4714 3 года назад

When RE launches Himalayan 650, it will be a complete package but a seat height increase is needed because while doing offroads a higher seat height is always preferable.

I thought the same, but do you actually like white circular headlights? When the headlight is circular there's no better colour than yellow. Come on, you have to agree. Anyways if you want white then it just costs around 1200,I mean a good quality one, so I don't see it as an issue. Happy Riding!

@TheLazyWandererMys 5 лет назад

Himalayan has always had LED tail lamps, right from day one. About the Headlamp, i would rather have a well focused halogen lamp than an LED unit, which are mostly 6000k and pretty much useless in rain and foggy condition or even newly tarred roads for that matter. Also in case you break it when going off road, its cheaper to replace as well. Instead of all that I would honestly prefer a lil lighter bike with 5-10ps more from the engine.
