The Hero XPulse 200 4 Valve now gets improved, with small, but significant changes which justify its new-generation tag. The most prominent change is in the powerplant, with the 199.6 cc single-cylinder engine getting a four-valve head, with marginally more power and torque. There are other small changes too, all aimed at improving Hero MotoCorp's entry-level adventure bike with improved lighting, cosmetic updates, as well as changed gearing. Here's a look at the top 5 highlights on the improved Hero XPulse 200 4 Valve.

The new Hero XPulse 200 4 Valve retains the same dimenstions, but gets new dual-tone colours, and graphics. Kerb weight has increased by 1 kg, and seat height by 2 mm. The LED headlight now offers 20 per cent better illumination, an area where the two-valve XPulse 200 lacked in. Even the oil-cooler is slightly bigger, with a 7-fin design, to aid in better heat management.
