Hero Xpulse 210
The Xpulse 210 was probably among the most awaited unveils from the Hero stall. You will find the 210cc, liquid-cooled powertrain from the Karizma XMR here, producing 24.5bhp and 20.4Nm of torque, paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch.
In terms of the suspension setup, it gets conventional forks with protectors with 210mm of travel, along with a monoshock at the rear with 205mm of travel. However, Hero has not specified on any degree of adjustability. Similar to the Xpulse 200 4V, the Xpulse 210 also comes with a 21-inch front and an 18-inch rear wheel setup.
The Xpulse 210 comes equipped with a 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster with a completely new UI, along with switchable ABS modes. The Xpulse also gets an adjustable handlebar, and there is also a Rally kit on offer as well.
Hero Xtreme 250R
The Xtreme 250R is the production version of the Xtunt 2.5R Concept shown previously. An all-new 250cc, liquid-cooled powertrain powers this naked motorcycle, producing 29.5bhp and 25Nm of torque, which makes it marginally more powerful than some other 250cc motorcycles in the market.
Underpinned by a trellis frame, the Xtreme 250R is suspended on 43mm USD forks and a 6-step adjustable monoshock. In terms of features, the Xtreme 250R is packed with switchable ABS modes, automatic projector headlight, and a TFT cluster with turn-by-turn navigation, music streaming, a lap timer, and a drag timer among other things.

Hero Karizma XMR 250
The Karizma XMR 250 shares a lot of its mechanicals with the Xtreme 250R naked motorcycle, featuring the same 250cc liquid-cooled powertrain and chassis setup. Both motorcycles are also quite similar in terms of the features on offer, packing an automatic projector headlamp and switchable ABS modes.
However, being a sportsbike, the Karizma XMR 250 gets full fairing, and it also sports race-inspired winglets. Additionally, the XMR 250 also comes with height-adjustable clip-on handlebars.
Vida Z
Hero's electric mobility arm, Vida, also showcased the Z electric scooter, which is the second product in its lineup after the V1 series. The Vida Z comes with a removable battery pack. Speaking of battery packs, the Vida Z receives multiple configurations, from 2.2kWh to 4.4kWh units. Hero did not clarify the exact range figures, but we can expect some announcements later on.
The Vida Z comes with a touchscreen TFT cluster with OTA updates, running on a new connectivity cloud platform. It also comes with geo-fencing, vehicle health monitoring, theft detection, and vehicle immobilization among other things.
Verdict
Hero Motocorp has showcased some very interesting products at the EICMA 2024, but it hasn't yet commented anything on official timelines, which should be kept in mind considering that its previous showcases are yet to be launched. However, with the Xpulse 210 and the Xtreme 250R, we can expect official announcements just around the corner.
