The upcoming Hero Xpulse 421 is generating significant excitement among adventure motorcycle enthusiasts. It is expected to be Hero MotoCorp's most powerful motorcycle yet, featuring a 421cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that is expected to produce around 45bhp of power. The bike will be built on a new trellis frame and is likely to come with a 6-speed gearbox.
In terms of features, the Xpulse 421 is expected to be well-equipped with all-LED lighting, a TFT display, smartphone connectivity, ride modes, adjustable ABS, and more. The suspension setup is likely to include a long-travel inverted fork and a monoshock at the rear.
The Xpulse 421 is expected to launch in 2026. Once launched, it will compete with rivals like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, KTM 390 Adventure S, and the upcoming TVS Apache RTX 300.
