Rider’s Comments

Sathyaraj added, “The track was hard and slushy with many undulations, but with the new Xpulse 200 Rally as well as the Stock Xpulse, we were able to clear the obstacles with ease,”.
What’s New
The new Xpulse Rally 200, gets major updates in all departments. The design and mechanicals have all been worked upon to increase the performance of this bike.
The very first upgrade can be seen on the engine. The bike gets a new 200cc 4V engine that delivers more torque and better acceleration. This new generation bike is 20 percent lighter than the previous models. This helps the riders by giving them better control over the bike.
The reduced weight helps while cornering and also in increasing straight-line speeds. The bike is sprung on upside-down forks and spring shocks at the rear, but this time with increased suspension travel. It rides on lightweight reinforced aluminium rims with Maxxis rubber stretched over them. The design has also been improved for better ergonomics with a new side panel. The footsteps have also been repositioned and redesigned to give a better position while sitting as well as when standing. The handlebars have also been tapered.
