Hero shows Scrambler and Classic concepts at EICMA 2026

Hero MotoCorp has shown two new motorcycle concepts at EICMA 2026, the Milan motorcycle show. The Hero Scrambler and Hero Classic concepts offer a preview of the company's future premium motorcycle direction, the company's reports indicate.

The Xpulse Scrambler 250 concept sits apart from the adventure-focused Xpulse models. It takes a more road-oriented route, mixing traditional scrambler styling with modern hardware and detailing.

Retro design and hardware

The bike wears a red fuel tank with silver graphics and Xpulse badging. Its gold-spoked wire wheels, brown and black one-piece seat and compact tail lamp give it a retro look. A round headlamp, a tinted flyscreen and high-mounted front mudguard finish the front end.

Underneath, the concept carries upside-down front forks, a rear monoshock, disc brakes at both ends and a bash plate for the engine. Its exhaust has two vertically stacked outlets on the right side. A circular digital instrument console sits on the handlebar. The exposed frame and engine make it look more minimal than the larger Xpulse adventure bikes.

Engine and production plans

Hero has not confirmed the engine specifications for the Scrambler concept. It has also not said whether the bike will go into production. Until the company says more, the concept remains a design study.

The Xpulse name links the concept to Hero's existing adventure range, which has built a following in India. Buyers looking at Hero's future lineup should watch for an official launch date and price before drawing conclusions about the bike's cost or features.
