    Hero Surge S32 2-in-1 Electric Scooter-Cum-Rickshaw To Start Production Soon

    by

    Hero Surge S32The unique Hero Surge S32 can transform into a 2W or a 3W with minimum effort, on all road conditions and under 3 minutes
    Indian automotive industry has seen a few innovative products across segments and genres. Among the most interesting ones is the Surge S32 2-in-1 electric scooter-cum-rickshaw. This innovative product comes from a startup called Surge, owned by 2W juggernaut Hero MotoCorp.
    After debuting earlier this year and winning many design awards, Hero Surge S32 is making headlines again. This time, the company is commencing production of S32 within a year. Speculations also suggest a launch might happen somewhere around mid-2025.

    Hero Surge S32
    There are commercial vehicles and then there are private passenger vehicles. Very few brands have tried to combine these two aspects. A few years ago, we saw the launch of Eicher Polaris Multix which tried to bridge the gap between CVs and PVs in the lower-tier price bracket. However, it didn’t catch on.
    Now, Hero MotoCorp is trying the bridge the gap between CVs and PVs, but with a unique take of its own. With their Surge EV subsidiary, Hero has culminated a unique experience for users by combining an electric scooter and a 3-wheeler electric rickshaw. Surge S32 is set to go into series production soon.
    Surge S32 different body styles
    There may be multiple variants of Surge S32. A 3W auto rickshaw (S32 PV), a 3W cargo vehicle (S32 LD), a 3W covered cargo vehicle (S32 HD) and a flat-bed 3W cargo vehicle (S32 FB). In all these versions, scooter part remains the same, while the rickshaw part changes accordingly.
    This is the first time an OEM has attempted to combine a 2W and a 3W in one product. Hence, it needs a special category which Surge and Hero have worked out with Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Called L2-5, it represents a 2W-3W combi module category, where an L2 scooter is connected with a non-self-propelled rear module.

    How does it work?
    Surge S32 is based on the AMSEP platform constructed around a ladder-frame chassis. The scooter and non-self-propelled rear module have separate powertrains and the system automatically switches between these powertrains as per the vehicle in use. It has to be noted that the scooter acts as the front wheel for rear non-self-propelled module.
    Surge EV promises the conversion between 2W and 3W is seamless and takes little to no effort, happens under 3 minutes and can be done anywhere. The company promises safe and reliable battery and a full-metal body. While scooter’s instrumentation becomes Rickshaw’s instrumentation, Rickshaw gets more switches of its own.

    The main use case of this unique approach is to provide users with a versatile vehicle for multiple roles. It could be one’s daily bread to transport cargo or passengers in 3W mode. Also, it could be one’s last-mile delivery vehicle in 2W mode or one’s personal mode of transportation, leaving their commercial aspects behind.

      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Xpulse 200 4V – Specs, Features Compared

      by

      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Xpulse 200While the launch date of 250cc motorcycles showcased at EICMA 2024 is not clear yet, Xpulse 210 might launch sooner than later
      If there is one motorcycle company that has democratised off-road bikes to the masses, it has to be Hero MotoCorp. The company started this mission with the launch of Impulse and the mantle was carried on to Xpulse 200. Now, there is a new Xpulse 210 showcased at EICMA, set to launch soon. But how much better is it than Xpulse 200? Let’s take a look.
      Xpulse 210 Vs Xpulse 200
      Within Hero MotoCorp’s portfolio, Xpulse 200 might be one of the most improved vehicles that we can think of. The company has updated it multiple times based on customer feedback but has always left enthusiasts craving for more. That’s a story for another day. In this comparison post, let’s see how Hero Xpulse 210 fares against Xpulse 200 4V.
      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Xpulse 200 – Comparison Table
      While the main change is in engine department, we can’t gloss away the fact that Xpulse 210 has an all-new design. Round headlight with an H-shaped LED DRL signature has been retained. But most of the design is new. For starters, we get a new fuel tank that looks larger than on Xpulse 200’s.
      Adding more muscle are the new tank shrouds that house a radiator and an oil reservoir of the liquid-cooled engine. There is a new subframe and associated body panels and we get a new rear luggage rack. Seat looks new as well. We can also spot a new windscreen and new position for exhaust can that is more up-swept than before.
      2025 Hero Xpulse 210 Engine
      New Engine
      Main difference is from its engine department. Xpulse 210 borrows Karizma XMR 210’s liquid-cooled engine. Thus generating 24.26 bhp of peak power and 20.7 Nm of peak torque. This is an increase of 5.1 bhp of power and 3.5 Nm of torque, over Xpulse 200 4V. More appreciable are the addition of DOHC 4V head and liquid cooling for smoother power delivery.
      The addition of a slipper clutch and 6-speed gearbox will ensure Xpulse finally gets the much-needed high-speed highway cruising capability. On paper, these updates make Xpulse 210 one of the most complete vehicles on sale in India. That one motorcycle to (potentially) do it all.
      Hero Xpulse 210
      Componentry
      Xpulse 210 still comes with the same 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, which is a good thing for off-road enthusiasts. Sadly, the tyres are still of tube-type. Just like there is a Pro variant with Xpulse 200, Hero has showcased an Xpulse 210 Rally with upgraded components, which will launch after the launch of standard bike.
      Speaking of standard Xpulse 210, suspension travel has gone up to 210mm front and 205 mm rear. Xpulse 210 Rally gets fully adjustable front (compression and rebound) and rear (preload and rebound) with higher suspension travel. Braking is handled by discs at both ends. Unlike Xpulse 200 with single-channel ABS, Xpulse 210 gets dual-channel ABS.
      New Hero Xpulse 210
      Features and Launch
      Features-wise, Hero is offering more with Xpulse 210. For starters, there is a new 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster that is a major leap from the LCD setup on Xpulse 200. This unit also gets upgraded switchgear and supports Bluetooth and Navigation features when connected to a smartphone.
      Hero MotoCorp has not confirmed the launch date of the new motorcycles showcased at EICMA 2024. However, there is a good possibility of Hero Xpulse 210 launching soon, considering that it has been tested for a long time. In contrast, the 250cc offerings will launch later after thorough testing.

      2025 Hero Karizma 210 Pro Showcased At EICMA – USD Forks, New Features

      by

      Hero Karizma 210 Pro
      With these additions, Hero Karizma XMR 210 Pro might emerge as one of the most VFM motorcycles one can buy under Rs 2 lakh (Ex-sh)
      If there is one Indian 2W manufacturer who is on the verge of revamping its premium vehicle portfolio, it has to be Hero MotoCorp. The company is spending a lot of its R&D to rejuvenate its premium lineup. One of the most interesting examples of this strategy is the Karizma 210 Pro showcased at EICMA.
      2025 Hero Karizma 210 Pro
      While the company has not confirmed the name Karizma XMR 210 Pro, it is befitting to this product, considering Hero’s strategies. For starters, Hero MotoCorp offers a Pro variant of Xpulse with upgraded suspension and the same might soon launch with Karizma XMR 210 as well.
      Hero Karizma 210 Pro
      Unlike Xpulse 200 Pro which gets fully adjustable (compression and rebound front, rebound and preload rear) long travel suspension for better off-roading capability, Karizma XMR 210 Pro packs USD telescopic front forks for better handling and cornering capabilities.
      These USD front forks are finished in a lovely shade of Gold, highlighting the premium quotient further. When it was launched, Karizma XMR 210 lacked a couple of attributes to make it a complete motorcycle. One of them was USD telescopic front forks, which was a glaring omission on a Supersports machine.
      Hero Karizma 210 Pro
      Now, Hero MotoCorp is set to fix this with the launch of a new variant for Karizma XMR 210 that offers USD telescopic front forks. Equipped with these superior suspension components, Karizma XMR 210 will get enhanced handling and corner-carving capabilities and might set a new benchmark in the value-for-money quotient.
      What else is new?
      There is another major addition with Hero Karizma XMR 210 Pro and that is a TFT instrument cluster with dedicated switchgear that will replace the current LCD unit seen with standard model. It is a slight head-scratcher as the just-unveiled and higher-tier Karizma XMR 250 still gets an LCD unit while the Xtreme 250R and Xpulse 210 get TFT unit.
      Karizma 210 Pro New Cluster
      These details might change when these motorcycles reach production phase in India. Hopefully we could see the more premium TFT cluster on all of the recently showcased offerings. Other than these changes, Karizma XMR 210 Pro will remain the same and position itself above Standard Karizma XMR 210 and Karizma XMR 250.
      It will continue to offer an excellent package including a 210cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4V engine that kicks out 25.5 PS of peak power and 20.4 Nm of peak torque, a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth connectivity with navigation, automatic headlights, adjustable windscreen and more.

      Hero Xpulse 421 Sketch Officially Revealed – KTM 390, Himalayan 450 Rival

      by

      Hero Xpulse 421 Sketch. Credit – PowerdriftUpon launch, new Hero Xpulse 421 will challenge rivals such as Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure R
      Adopting a strategy similar to other homegrown OEMs, Hero MotoCorp has started adding higher capacity bikes to its portfolio. At the 2024 EICMA, two new quarter-litre bikes were unveiled – Karizma XMR 250 and Xtreme 250R. And now, Hero has also provided a glimpse of the upcoming Xpulse 421.
      Hero Xpulse 421 – What to expect?
      With rivals like Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure, performance has to be top-notch for any new product being launched. Hero Xpulse 421 will be using an entirely new 420cc engine that is estimated to produce around 43 to 45 bhp. In comparison, Himalayan 450 churns out around 40 bhp and 40 Nm. The numbers for 2025 KTM 390 Adventure have not been revealed. Although general expectations are around 45 bhp and 40 Nm of torque.
      Hero Xpulse 421 Sketch
      Hero will ensure that on-ground performance matches that of rival offerings. And with Hero’s competitive pricing strategy, Xpulse 421 could emerge as the most affordable in its class. An initial offer price of around Rs 2.80 lakh could be possible for Hero Xpulse 421. However, assuming that there will be multiple variants, the base-spec version with limited features could be priced even lower.
      At the 2024 EICMA, Hero provided only some sketches of the bike and a glimpse of the clay models. Some of the key highlights include a stylish LED headlamp with LED DRLs, a large windscreen, knuckle guards, polygonal rear-view mirrors and a sleek design for the fuel tank. The bike’s engine is adequately protected with a robust bash plate. As the exhaust pipe passes near to the rider’s leg, a heat shield has been added. This positioning of the exhaust pipe is necessitated due to the high-mount exhaust.
      Hero Xpulse 421 Sketch
      Hero Xpulse 421 – Equipment list
      To effectively compete with rivals, Hero Xpulse 421 will be getting a comprehensive range of features. For example, the teaser has revealed the presence of a horizontally placed colour TFT screen. It is likely to have Bluetooth, allowing users to access a range of connectivity features. Hero Xpulse 421 is also expected to get multiple electronic driving aids such as traction control and driving modes.
      Other highlights include USD forks in golden finish, monoshock rear suspension, box section swingarm and switchable ABS. The bike is expected to get 21-inch and 18-inch wheel combo, wrapped in dual-purpose tyres. Tubeless tyres are desirable, but it is not confirmed if Hero Xpulse 421 will be getting those.
      Hero Xpulse 421 – Launch date
      A specific launch timeline for Xpulse 421 is not available. The bike will have to endure extensive testing, something that can take several months. It is possible that Hero could launch the Xpulse 421 in 2025 or early 2026. The company will certainly be keen on introducing its flagship adventure bike at the earliest. This segment has been registering strong interest and has significant growth potential.
      Hero has tasted success with the smaller capacity Xpulse and will be looking to achieve something similar with the Xpulse 421. At the 2024 EICMA, Hero also unveiled the Xpulse 210 and the updated Mavrick 440.

      Updated Hero Mavrick 440 Showcased At EICMA – New Features, Components

      by

      Updated Hero Mavrick 440Updated Hero Mavrick 440 will receive a price hike or it might be launched as a new top-spec variant while base price is retained
      EICMA 2024 has proved to be a very busy event for Hero MotoCorp. The company showcased four new products on this global stage and showcased a bunch of other offerings. One of the important showcases has to be the updated Hero Mavrick 440 which gets improved features and componentry. Let’s take a look.
      Updated Hero Mavrick 440
      At the prestigious stage of EICMA 2024, Hero MotoCorp unveiled a new version of its global electric scooter called Vida Z. Debuting the company’s first-ever 250cc engine, we saw Xtreme 250R street naked and Karizma XMR 250 supersport. Lastly, we also saw Hero showcasing the Xpusle 210 with a major design overhaul.
      While these four new motorcycles stole all the limelight, the showcasing of the updated version of Hero Mavrick 440 took a backseat. However, the company’s efforts to radically overhaul its premium vehicle lineup are commendable. Hero is even investing heavily in premium Premia dealerships that will cater to pricier bikes.
      Currently, Mavrick 440 is Hero’s biggest motorcycle yet. It is spawned by the 440 platform jointly developed between Hero MotoCorp and Harley-Davidson. Both these brands have benefited from this platform. Harley’s X440 is positioned as the more premium one and it had a few attributes to justify that tag.
      Updated Hero Mavrick 440
      While Mavrick 440 was positioned below X440 in the hierarchy with slightly less flashy features and equipment. Now, Hero is changing that and has showcased a more kitted-out version of its Mavrick 440 with equipment in line with what is seen on Harley-Davidson X440.
      What are the new features?
      Improving the perception of Mavrick 440, Hero has added a few premium elements that were only seen with pricier Harley X440. These are USD telescopic front forks finished in a lovely Gold shade and a more sophisticated TFT instrument cluster with advanced connectivity features like Bluetooth and navigation.
      With the addition of USD front forks, Mavrick 440’s handling characteristics will go up too, just like its overall design quotient has. One should expect sharper handling and more steering feedback. With the addition of TFT colour instrument cluster, overall premium quotient has gone up.
      Upcoming Hero Mavrick 440
      At the heart, updated Hero Mavrick 440 comes equipped with the same 440cc oil-cooled single-cylinder mill that generates 27 bhp and 36 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Interestingly, the weight has gone down by 2kg from 191 kg kerb weight to 189 kg. Launch timeline in India is not revealed yet.

      Hero MotoCorp just took the veil off Vida Z, which is a global product with launch intentions in many global markets like UK. Vida Z is the new variant of Vida lineup that features removable batteries. It has multiple modes of charging, unlocking versatility. With a connectivity suite, Vida Z offers a plethora of vehicle metrics for user access to monitor the vehicle.
      Here design is concerned, Hero Vida Z is a handsome machine with a decent blend between sporty and functional. It features an interesting LED DRL signature and an overall side profile. The company is poised to introduce VIda Z in many export markets and expects a good reception from varied demographics ranging from Barcelona to Bogota.
      New Hero Xpulse 210
      Xpulse 210
      This is the most anticipated unveil by Hero MotoCorp at EICMA 2024. The design is adventure ready and Hero calls it Anytime, Anywhere motorcycle. It has minimalist design language, similar to Xpulse 200, and continues to get top-notch off-road hardware, such as a fully adjustable suspension at the front and rear.
      Hero Xpulse 210
      The 210cc engine from the Karizma XMR 210 is capable of generating of around 25 PS of peak power and 20.7 Nm of peak torque. The 6-speed gearbox breathes new life into the Xpulse platform and allows for better high-speed touring capability, which is missing on the Xpulse 200 4V. It also gets more tech and features that target demographic will love.
      New Xtreme 250R
      Xtreme 250R
      Hero MotoCorp has just unveiled their flagship Xtreme 250R street fighter motorcycle that will be the company’s big bet in quarter-liter segment. This motorcycle debuts the company’s new 250cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine that is capable of generating 30 PS of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque.
      Xtreme 250R Muscular Design
      It is a true street fighter with aggressive looks and menacing design. Xtreme 250 features a sharp headlight design inspired from XTUNT 2.5R Concept showcased last year, a chiseled fuel tank, USD telescopic forks and a sporty tail section. It features the same TFT instrument screen that we saw with Karizma XMR 210.
      New Karizma XMR 250
      Karizma XMR 250
      Hero’s flagship Karizma model also debuted at EICMA 2024. This was a pleasant surprise from the brand. While the company is struggling to push volumes with their premium lineup, one would expect them to dial down on the excitement with their new launches. However, Hero being Hero, has delivered a new Karizma XMR 250 with a brand new engine.
      New Karizma XMR 250 Aero Winglets
      This is the same 250cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4V engine as seen on Xtreme 250R that delivers 30 PS of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque. It is the most powerful version of Karizma ever and the raw numbers are likely to complement the bike’s supersport handling characteristics as it now gets USD telescopic front forks and aerodynamic winglets at the front.

      Hero Karizma XMR 250 Teased – Quarter-Litre SuperSport To Debut At EICMA

      by

      Hero Karizma XMR 250 TeasedWith a 250cc powertrain, Hero Karizma XMR 250 might develop up to 30 bhp of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox
      World’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, has been on the verge of overhauling its premium motorcycle lineup for some time. The company has been working on a new 250cc engine and has teased for the first time on a Karizma XMR 250. There is a major overhaul in terms of design too, positioning Karizma XMR 250 as sharper and meaner.
      Hero Karizma XMR 250 Teased
      For everyone who were looking for a reasonably priced quarter-litre supersport, Hero Karizma XMR 250 will appeal a lot. Even though price is not revealed, we can count on Hero MotoCorp to position it very attractively. Even Rs 2 lakh (Ex-sh) price point might be viable too, which is around Rs 20K more than Karizma XMR 210.
      Karizma XMR 250 Fascia
      Before diving into the design and features revealed from the teased video, we have to talk about Karizma XMR 250’s rivals. Hero is smartly creating a niche for itself, rather than chasing existing and well-established players. When launched, it will be the country’s only fully-fired liquid-cooled 250cc motorcycle.
      If Hero managed to price it around Rs 2 lakh to Rs 2.10 lakh, it would emerge as one of the most tempting propositions to ignore. With the larger Karizma XMR 250, Hero is offering more aggressive design as seen in the teaser. The windscreen is taller and is likely to be height adjustable like on Karizma XMR 210.
      Karizma XMR 250 Vs Karizma XMR 210
      While the fascia appears to be the same, there are changes. For starters, it looks wider than before and a lot more edgy and aggressive. There are massive aerodynamic winglets with XMR 250 branding. Just like on the recently launched TVS Apache RR 310, we expect these winglets on Karizma to add downforce as well.
      Rear tail lights have been carried over and so are the LED turn indicators. The design patents leaked some time ago, confirm the presence of USD telescopic front forks, adding to the sporty handling characteristics. Combined with aerodynamic winglets, Karizma XMR 250 might transform its handling characteristics.
      Karizma XMR 250
      How much more powerful is the new engine?
      Apart from that, we expect a stronger braking setup to anchor what will be a faster and quicker motorcycle. Dual-channel ABS is confirmed. Features-wise, we can see the same TFT instrument cluster as regular Karizma XMR 210 and it will sport Bluetooth and navigation feature. With the new Karizma XMR 210, there seems to be more connectivity features including a SOS button.
      Karizma XMR 250
      The new 250cc engine is likely to be a bored-out version of the 210cc mill. This is a liquid-cooled single-cylinder mill with DOHC 4V head that might generate around 30 bhp of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Official performance numbers will be revealed soon.

      2025 Hero Xpulse Teased Before Launch – New Features Detailed

      by

      2025 Hero Xpulse TeasedHero MotoCorp has officially teased its upcoming Xpulse motorcycle, expected to be the new Xpulse 210 – Debut today at EICMA 2024
      Hero MotoCorp, known for its strong presence in the budget commuter segment, is now aiming to expand its portfolio in the premium motorcycle market. With multiple new debuts at EICMA 2024, Hero seeks to strengthen its position in both the adventure and mid-size segments, as well as the burgeoning electric scooter market.
      2025 Hero Xpulse Teased
      New Xpulse 210 is anticipated to feature a 210cc engine, sourced from Hero’s Karizma XMR. The engine is expected to be tuned for an adventure-friendly setup, making it suitable for both on-road and off-road use. Key specs hint at 25 bhp power at 9,250 rpm and 20 Nm torque at 7,250 rpm, mated to a six-speed gearbox. This setup should offer better cruising capabilities and improved highway performance.
      2025 Hero Xpulse Teased
      The teaser images reveal an evolved design, maintaining the signature Xpulse styling with a few modern twists. Notable elements include a round LED projector headlight with a pronounced brace, a more angular beak, tall windscreen, and larger fuel tank. The motorcycle also sports new side and tail panels, adding to its rugged look, while LED indicators and taillights contribute to its contemporary styling.
      2025 Hero Xpulse Teased
      A significant upgrade is the new colour TFT display, replacing the previous reverse LCD. This display includes a bar-style tachometer, large speedometer, gear position indicator, coolant temperature, and other essential readouts. Interestingly, it also has a ‘Road’ mode, which could hint at selectable ride or ABS modes.
      2025 Hero Xpulse Teased
      Apart from the Xpulse 210, Hero is set to unveil three other new models, aiming to strengthen its premium lineup:
      1. Karizma XMR 250
      A new fully-faired motorcycle, possibly the Karizma XMR 250, is expected to make its debut. Speculated to be powered by a 250cc liquid-cooled engine, this bike may produce around 30 bhp and 25 Nm of torque, positioning it as a competitor in the quarter-liter segment. The Karizma XMR 250 is rumored to feature USD front forks and aerodynamic winglets for improved stability and handling.
      2. Xtreme 250R
      The street-naked Xtreme 250R might also be unveiled, targeting the popular naked bike segment. It is believed to share the same power output as the Karizma XMR 250, delivering 30 bhp and 25 Nm of torque. With an aggressive, edgy design, this model is likely to appeal to riders seeking a powerful, stylish commuter with sporty aesthetics.
      3. New Vida V1 Variant
      In response to the growing demand for electric scooters, Hero might showcase a new variant of its Vida V1. This version could be an affordable alternative to its rivals from brands like Ather, Ola, TVS, and Bajaj, aiming to capture a larger share of the urban electric mobility market. More
