Himalayan 450 Rally vs XPulse 200 Rally Sprint Race 

Xpulse is such a capable trail machine but in the right hands

Thanks for showing us this side of Himalayan 450, probably no one is gonna upload this kind of video on RU-vid.

just imagine Xpulse getting a 400 cc engine, goosebumps already

Holy moly , too good ❤❤❤ I'm feeling proud seeing indian motorcycles, indian riders and indian youtuber in this kind of video 😅

Pretty evident that the weight and size of the machine plays a part. RE is significantly more powerful and obviously it's faster on a straight line. Still with it's agility the Xpulse close the gap time to time. Xpulse have that dirt bike DNA which is unmatched by it's current rivals. But considering Himalayan is so much better for touring i feel like the small compromise in off road capability is justified. It's a really capable tourer which can do off road stuff when it's needed. Shed some weight is the only thing you've to do. As it's an RE reliability is always a question mark until it's proven. But seriously impressive machine at first glance 🙃

Dude! I'm loving what you're doing with the Himalayan. It's mad! Loving the contents. Thanks man.

The xpulse suspension took the last jump very well

Been waiting for this Camera Angle, Thanks

i'm actually impress of Xpulse 200 performance . it can keep-up with RE 450 liquid cooled engine .

This is very new to watch. I have seen several reviews and races, but only on the road. This is very different and comparatively intersting.

Excelente vídeo , Saludos desde Colombia ... Estamos a la espera de la llegada de la himalayan

Great stuff Abhinav, this was a brilliant video!

If there were more twists and turns then race would be more neck to neck, but still thanks for the video and if possible use drone next time outcome will be spectacular .

I had two crazy trail sessions with the stock Himmy 450 this week, totally awestruck by its ability to handle any road so easily. Can't wait to do some weight reduction and add the knobbies on it. The only thing I am concerned is the tappet noise. Hats off to you man for showing us this kind of transformation with this machine.

A ameture on Himalayan and a pro on xpluse. For the price and CC xpluse did a great job to keep up with 450cc machine

great video, love to hear more of your thoughts about the 2 bikes, Ride Free my friend

While watching this Who else were blowing on to their mobile screen to clear away the dust coming at you 😅 kudos to the team for this amazing content 😁

Now, this is a Himalayan worth waiting for.

Crazy. The skills of both the riders is commendable.

the cam shaft is done, by the sound of the engine. great stuff!

Xpulse would shine with a more technical course or at least the race will be more fair.

Increíble!! Viva la India !

It's exciting to witness the competition between two Indian brands, especially with the Himalayan leading the charge on both road and off-road terrains. Just got mine delivered yesterday, and its performance has left me utterly speechless. Even navigating through city streets, it impresses. Delighted to find it exceeding expectations, despite some negative reviews from certain bloggers.

Thats something, loved it thoroughly.

crazy content bro, i love it 💪

Tagda video hai bhai, maza aa gya dekh ke

Ohhhh loved the entire video!!!!

Outrightly evident that X Pulse is simply as good and infact, much lighter to ride, and with rally kit options too👍👍

In the slow sections the Xpulse is Great

@abhinavbhatt this video is like a small action movie. What footage !!! You only need to add some awesome music to this.

THat was a seriously cool vid guys!

That's almost full commitment 🔥

We need content like this. Not the same old sh*t talking about chassis, spects, engine, modes, ABS and all, the company tells them on their webpage. We need to know the capabilities of a bike, and I am quite surprised at what the Himi can do :)

Both, amazing riders..

The Himalayan guy doesn’t seem like amateur to me 😂

So good to watch

Interesting take would when xpulse 400 and himalyan is pitted against each other..

Damn... It's super awesome. Ab kaam me dimag nhi lagega bhai

It's all about weight. Xpulse 400 could be something amazing but there's a lot of weight that can be chopped off current offering itself. I'm loving my xpulse, really believe it's gonna be one of those models that's gonna age really well. We'll be looking at the good old times of xpulse few decades down the line

Fantastic bro !!!

Hole shot to the Himi every time! These guys are great riders!

It's too bad its release was delayed here in the US.

as good as this upgraded 452 is the little x-pulse holds its weight just fine, proof that off road things are equalled somewhat

Underrated video

Both bike are doing great job and riders too

Can you please upload a picture of both of these standing side by side to see which one visually looks bigger or taller.

Leave the Bike aside for a while..and focus on the FUN they are having

Loved it.

WOW! who are these riders Abhinav Sir. Please share their social media handles. These guys are crazy!

Any race between Triumph scrambler 400 x and Himalayan 450 ?

I heard somewhere that hero has started testing of xpulse 400 which will probably based on Dakar rally model. If it's true then hero is going to be a neck pain for other ADV manufacturers. Proud of you Hero motocorp.

We need them to do some talking after the ride bro

Just curious about one thing. The Himalayan proves out to be superior but why it was not able to increase the gap.

Very cool video

Sheer size of the engine and power pushes the RE, let the track get a bit more technical, we'll easily see the Xpulse shining. RE bikes are not ready to take a beating that happens in a dirt track.

please do a Yezdi Adv vs Himalayan 450 lap on this same track, maybe switch the riders after a lap.

Comparing 400 cc with 200 cc .From this anyone can understand how terror xpulse is. Happy & proud to be the owner of xpulse.

If an Xpulse with 200 cc can do this, imagine what 421cc Xpulse would do. I watched this video more to estimate future Xpulse 421 bike.😍🤩

Amateur my s. If he’s amateur then i m newborn baby.

Upload a video of hardcore off roading that is where Xpulse is going to show upper hand.in these sprint races himalyan is having clear advantage of Xtra power furthermore surface is not worst enough.plus nice racing lines taken by both riders

🔥🔥

Xpulse the real king of offroad great guys love u.

Let's wait for xpulse 400

turned into a monster 👺, great 👍🏻

This is footage video, not a race btwn Me & Abhishek Deka. Hence the gap isn't increasing btwn bikes. Notice me (Himalayan rider checking behind few times). Also Himalayan was being ridden by 100+ kgs on 25psi tyre pressure. While Abhishek on Xpulse is 65kgs top on off roading tyre pressure. Also we weren't suppose push the Himalayan fully or take chances to of a crash.

200CC VS 450CC BUT THEY ARE MATCH EACH OTHER 😂😂😂😂

Ih Himalyan is double the Power but couldn't increase the Lead So its good on Straid Patch but worst on Jumps as controling is quite difficult

Incredible footage and Comparison, The Himalayan is a more powerful of the two for obvious reasons, but the fact that a 200cc machine is able to compete on a level of this machine and a lot more economical in terms of service cost makes me happy about owning an Xpulse 4v. Cool stuff Happy and Safe Riding 🏜

Hi Abhinav, could you share the helmet brand and model you were using in this video? Thanks!

If you can do by recording time, that may be effect to the Xplus caus, 1st place can blind the 2nd place, anyway l enjoy the footage keep it up 🎉

Despite that much sand thing still the xpulse rider rode well damn♥️🙌

One extra data needed to conclude the comparison, the Himalayan ride was mind blowing, can he explain how much effort he made to maneuver the bike vs the xpulse, was it hard or easy for him!? Compared to the xpulse Just asking this because of the longer wheelbase of the Himalayan and less initial torque

Too good

Excellent setup! Do you think the Himalayan could do better with an adjustable suspension setup?

Whenever i see your videos in this area, i am jealous. We only have a lot of hills around Bangalore, and finding such vast expanse of flat dirt area is almost non existent, at least close to Bangalore.

Great video. Is there a chance that you'd compare this with the KTM Adv 390. The power figures would make this a more fair comparison in my opinion. I understand the thought behind putting it against the Xpulse, but KTM adv would be a proper match.

Can we tune the Xpluse 200 for performance any hack , chip or something valve hck ?

Himalayan was torqui. But in these kind of trail xpulse is more balance because of weight.

Where was this shot ? Xpulse is having KA registration. Is it in Karnataka?

Appears like a movie clip..

Wow!!

Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like the Himalayan rider was sitting and riding 80% of the time, any potential issues with the standing up position or the massive tank maybe? The weight definitely shows! Awesome video and comparison though

why you put the tank bars back on

Xpulse is holding up prettyyy good against a bike which costs almost twice its price .

There trail is an example of "No Replacement for Displacement".

Don’t forget whose powering the xpulse and don’t forget the hero team just bagged Dakar with their help. Hopefully soon we’ll have that technology and engine in the xpulse.

mazaa aa gaya

Rider was not switched right??

Nothing can beat Xpulse in hard offroad

WOW! 450cc bike beat a 200cc bike in a race, what unpredictable outcome can't belive my eyes WOW.

Xpulse is actually faster in u-turns than RE

Abhinav is using full capacity of Himalayan 450.❤

Xpulse is like the rx100 of Indian dirt bike fraternity

Its time you two enter the Indian rally or the dirt track championship .

It's always the rider ;-)

Bhayankar bro❤

Bhai ye hi raste pe KTM Adv 390 SW.ko lekar RE se rece karo ...ye off road nahi matti wala stretch he...next video with ktm sw

Jitni ride karni hai karlo....jish din yanha pe corporate office and residential society ban gayi na....riders royenge trails karne k liye 😢

Mind blowing.... No one make this type of videos❤️❤️ . only paper work specifications...😅 Waiting for xpulse 400 Ktm Adventure 390 Tvs Rtx 310 Maja aane wala hai 😊😊

Your comparing a 40 bhp with 18 bhp . You should watch itchiboots current Madagascar series to understand the difference.
