Adventure has a new name, and it’s the Xpulse 4V Pro 2025 Variant. If you’re someone who lives for long rides, rugged tracks, and demanding adventures, you probably already know about the Hero Xpulse lineup. The Xpulse 4V Pro raises the bar as a pro-level, adventure-touring motorcycle, now launched across showrooms with some striking updates.
It’s designed for those who want a true off-road machine without burning a hole in their pocket. Here, I’ll take you through everything you need to know—from design and specs to price, features, and who should really buy this bike.
Xpulse 4V Pro 2025: Key Overview
The Xpulse 4V Pro 2025 Variant is Hero’s newest offering for serious riders who often find themselves on difficult terrains. With robust engineering and genuine adventure-ready features, it outperforms entry-level bikes yet stays affordable for most enthusiasts.
Hero has aimed this model squarely at those seeking more height, more ground clearance, and true off-road capability. The price stays competitive at ₹170,000 (on-road), which is only about ₹4,000 more than the standard Xpulse 4V variant (₹166,000 on-road). This small price jump brings bigger features, putting pro-level biking within easy reach.
Design and Appearance
Similar But Sharper: Pro-Level Looks
When I first saw the Xpulse 4V Pro, its design instantly brought to mind the familiar Xpulse silhouette I know well. But take a closer look, and you’ll spot the difference. The Pro variant carries unique “Pro” and “4V” graphics proudly on the tank and panels, and its details make it stand out as an adventure tourer made for action.
Key design highlights:
- Aggressive adventure styling similar to the normal Xpulse 4V, but with distinct Pro badges and sharper graphics
- LED headlight for high visibility at night, paired with LED tail lamp and bulb-type turn indicators
- Tall front mudguard that keeps dirt away on rough roads
- High-mounted, long exhaust—stays out of the way during deep water crossings or rocky climbs
- Premium fit and finish with noticeable improvements over last-gen models
No matter which angle you look at this bike from, it means business.
Seat Height, Ergonomics, and Comfort
Hero designed the Xpulse 4V Pro for taller riders who want to ride hard without worrying about bottoming out on rough tracks. The seat height comes in at 870 mm compared to the standard variant’s 820 mm. That’s a big jump, and it means you need to be at least 6.1 feet tall to get both feet down comfortably.
- Seat height: 870 mm (Pro) vs 820 mm (Normal)
- Ground clearance: 270 mm (Pro) vs 220 mm (Normal)
- Wide, comfortable seats for both rider and pillion
- Solid grab rails at the back for easy mounting and pillion security
- Single rear footrest that’s roomy and made for secure footing even on rocky routes
The higher seat and clearance offer better performance on mountains and trails. But for city commutes or shorter riders, this could be a real stretch—sometimes literally. So if you’re under 6 feet or you mainly ride in urban areas, this bike may feel too tall and unwieldy.
Tires and Suspension for Real Off-Roading
It’s not just about looks and height; the running gear is built for brutal Indian roads.
- Front tire: 21-inch with a 90/90 section, offering excellent grip and stability on rough paths
- Rear tire: 18-inch, 120/80 section for solid traction
- Single-channel ABS for safer braking, especially off-road
- Front adjustable suspension lets you tweak the travel based on your adventure—dial it up for rocky off-road fun, soften for relaxed highway runs
- Single rear suspension designed for heavy-duty use
- Big chain sprocket and protective guards add to the bike’s reliability factor
This setup means the bike can handle almost anything you throw at it, from gravel to deep potholes, without flinching.
Engine and Performance
Proven Engine Power
Under the skin, the Xpulse 4V Pro packs the same trusted Hero engine that’s loved by riders all over India. Here’s what you get:
- 18 BHP power—delivers punchy acceleration for overtakes and fast highway cruises
- 19 Nm torque—plenty for off-road climbs and hauling a loaded bike up steep inclines
- Oil-cooled engine with an oil cooler system to reduce overheating on long rides
- Signature exhaust note that sounds just right, powerful yet not overwhelming
The engine sits protected under a heavy-duty bash plate (engine cowl), giving you confidence to roll over logs or stones.
Mileage
Adventures are costly, but this bike keeps expenses down with a real-world mileage of around 35 km/l. That means you can cover serious distance between fill-ups. The fuel efficiency stays on par with the regular variant since both share the same engine block.
Transmission and Controls
- Smooth clutch—softer than older bikes, letting you ride longer without fatigue
- Single, wide handlebar for better steering control, especially helpful on unpredictable roads or when standing up off-road
- Kick-start mechanism included, always good to have when venturing far from civilization
When I test the controls, the bike feels nimble, precise, and easy to adjust thanks to its smart layout.
Instrument Cluster and Handy Features
The Xpulse 4V Pro doesn’t stop at just great mechanicals; it packs in helpful electronic features too.
- Fully digital meter console with a large, clear display
- Key functions:
- Average mileage display to help plan fuel stops on long trips
- Time and date
- Dual trip meters for tracking daily and total trip stats
- Tachometer up to 11,000 RPM
- Simple switchgear: clear start button and well-placed indicator controls
- Easy meter adjustment: tweak settings without scrolling through endless menus
Riders can check all the info they need without taking their eyes off the road for long, making it safer and stress-free.
Comparing Prices and Variants
Clear Value for Pro Features
- Xpulse 4V Pro: ₹170,000 (on-road)
- Xpulse 4V Normal: ₹166,000 (on-road)
A difference of ₹4,000 brings you advanced front suspension, a higher seat and ground clearance, and more robust giant-bike looks. It feels much more like a purpose-built off-road machine than just an entry-level commuter with some trail capability.
Who Should Buy the Xpulse 4V Pro 2025?
Ideal for:
- Riders taller than 6.1 feet who want a commanding riding position
- Adventure seekers who plan to ride on rocky paths, climb mountains, and cross streams
- Those who value sturdy build and strong off-road performance
Not for:
- Shorter riders (below 5.8 or 5.9 feet) who’ll struggle with the tall seat
- Primary city commuters, as the bike’s height and ground clearance can make traffic and stops uncomfortable
For anyone not fitting the tall-rider profile or needing a bike mainly for city use, the normal Xpulse 4V variant will still offer the same engine and many of the same features with easier rideability.
Accessories, Add-Ons, and Extra Features
Hero sweetens the adventure package with a bunch of useful accessories on the Pro model:
- Hand guards—protect your hands and controls from stones, branches, and wind
- Extended visor—keeps dust and insects away while riding fast
- Chain guard to keep grime and dirt off and reduce wear
- Single exhaust—high-mounted for water and rock protection
- Robust engine bash plate for protection against debris
These extras aren’t just about looks—they’re practical, keeping your bike and you safer in every adventure scenario.
