Motorcycling is like ice-cream and needless to say that there are a multitude of flavours available. However there is one predominant thing about any ice-cream you choose; they are all rather cool! Similarly the predominant flavour in motorcycling these days is on/off road bikes. Right from the Hero Xpulse to the gigantic BMW 1250 GS, everything is available here in India. However the biggest contention here is the fact that most Indians work on a ‘budget’. Hence the two most viable choices include the entry level Hero Xpulse and the Royal Enfield Himalayan. Even so, the two bikes here are priced generously apart. But the big question is that whether you pay Rs 2 lakh for the Himalayan or should you save nearly Rs 85,000 and get the Xpulse instead. This is the question we plan to answer in this feature.

The Hero Xpulse to begin with sports a design which mimics dirt bikes. It gets minimal bodywork and all the hardware to make it impeccable off the road. The front end is dominated by the large 21in spoke wheel which is linked to the chassis using 190mm telescopic suspension. Up above sits a top of the line LED headlight as well. The flyscreen is small and this means a lot of wind blast at high speeds. The Xpulse also gets knuckle guards as standard and the instrument panel is all digital. It offers a multitude of information and also offers Bluetooth connectivity and turn by turn navigation. The 13-litre fuel tank is designed to be simple and the seat flows in smoothly much like a dirt bike. The single seat also allows a lot of movement space which works wonders in its favour. The seat height though is slightly higher at 823mm. But the best bit is once astride, the bike sinks down thereby making it comfortable even for shorter riders. The rear section is also kept simple and there are very few things which can be damaged if the bike falls over. The rear comes with an 18in wheel and tyres are decently treaded to tackle dirt. The brakes on the Xpulse are all discs and the front comes with a petal type one as well. But ABS is single channel and not switchable.

The Himalayan looks and feels like ‘gigantor’ in front of the Xpulse. But if figures have to be believed, then the Xpulse is longer and wider than the Himalayan by a few millimeters. However the Himalayan has a longer wheelbase and is quite obviously taller as well. The Himalayan also looks rather purposeful in comparison. The front end is dominated by the 21in wheel and chunky telescopic forks which offer 200mm of travel. The twin mudguard design coupled with that simple headlight looks good. However there are no LEDs here. Instead the Himalayan relies on an old school halogen bulb. Being the latest model, the 2021 Himalayan comes with a wider windscreen. This is primarily to channel wind blasts better and also to hide the new addition to the instrument panel. While the panel is identical to the older one, RE has incorporated the Tripper navigation pod here. It sure looks like an afterthought and probably is. But as far as functionality goes, it works fine. The tank protectors or headlamp mounts have been shortened on this 2021 model. This is to allow more space for taller riders. The tank though remains unchanged and can gulp in 15 litres of fuel. The seats on the Himalayan come as split units. While the seat is good for short commutes, we sure recommend shifting to the touring seats in case the plan is to ride long distances. Thanks to the shorter seat height of 800mm, the Himalayan is good for short riders as well. The rear rack has also been redone and can now hold 7kg of cargo and is ready to take a top box. Quite handy. At the back, the Himalayan rides on a 17in wheel.

Another fair comparison between the Xpulse pro - the Himalayan 411 & the Himalayan 450. Same slope, different riders.

Great salute for HIMALAYA 411 & 450 because after being so heavy they are doing good moves💯 and even i did dirt trail with my HIMALAYA 450 in expert class and I was the only one with HIMALAYA 450 among all light weighted bikes

2x less expensive, weight, and maintenance, still proves itself on the same terrain with almost the same result with up and down efforts.
