Hero Xpulse 200 4V Pro Dakar Edition
The Xpulse 200 4V Pro Dakar Edition does not appear too different from the Xpulse 200 4V Pro, as it comes with the same design and raised stance. It gets a unique Gloss Goldfish Silver paint scheme, with Dakar-specific livery and logos.
Hero has not revealed a lot of details, but the Xpulse 200 4V Pro Dakar Edition gets 270mm ground clearance, which is the same as the Xpulse 200 4V Pro. Since it also gets the same 250mm of travel on the front suspension, the Dakar Edition likely retains the same chassis and hardware setup as the Xpulse 200 4V Pro.
The clutch case of the Dakar Edition receives a different, bronze-like paint finish, and it appears to be the same 199cc, oil-cooled engine, producing 18.9bhp and 17.35Nm of torque, paired to 5-speed gearbox.
The Dakar Edition also receives handlebar risers as standard, ABS with three ride modes, knuckle guards, and a rally-style windscreen which is 60mm taller. More details should possibly be revealed in the days to come.

Verdict
This special edition Xpulse is likely a final edition of the current 200cc Xpulse, as Hero could possibly launch the Xpulse 210, which has been showcased at the 2024 EICMA. The bikemaker could be looking to clear stocks of the current Xpulse.
