Hero unveils Xpulse 150 adventure motorcycle at EICMA 2026

Hero MotoCorp has unveiled the Xpulse 150, a new entry-level dual-sport motorcycle, at the EICMA 2026 show in Milan, Italy. The bike sits below the Xpulse 200 and Xpulse 210 in the Xpulse range. The launch came alongside the more powerful Xpulse 450 and a scrambler concept.

The Xpulse 150 uses a 150 cc single-cylinder engine that is air- and oil-cooled. It produces 12.2 bhp and 12.8 Nm of torque, sent to the rear wheel through a five-speed gearbox. The fuel tank holds 10.6 litres.

The motorcycle weighs 141.5 kg and has 220 mm of ground clearance. Its seat height is 826 mm. It runs 19-inch wheels at the front and 17-inch at the rear. The instrument console is a digital display.

How it compares with the Xpulse 450

The Xpulse 450 shown at the same show has a 421 cc engine producing 46 hp. It uses fully adjustable KYB suspension and 225 mm of front travel. The Xpulse 150 has a smaller engine, lower output and lighter construction. One report expects it to be priced below the liquid-cooled Xpulse 210, but Hero has not confirmed a price.

The unveiling confirms Hero is expanding the Xpulse family downwards. For buyers in India, the smaller engine and low weight point to a bike aimed at riders who want an adventure-style motorcycle without the cost and bulk of larger models. Hero has not said when the Xpulse 150 will go on sale in India, or what it will cost.
