As the name suggests, this special edition is equipped with special features for its exclusivity, making it different from the regular Hero XPulse series. Here we discussed the specifications and features of this motorcycle.

Design

This motorcycle is an off-roading adventure motorcycle that has a rugged design with a light silhouette, containing regular panels as normal off-roading bikes. However, this special edition includes a livery inspired by the Dakar Desert Rally. In the fuel tank, there is a prominent sicker of the iconic Dakar logo. Additionally, the side panels include special Hero Graphics on the other side.

Features

This motorcycle features a Rally-Style Windshield for improved aerodynamics and better wind protection under high speeds. It also has a USB charger port that allows you to never run out of battery on your devices like smartphones and earbuds. Additionally, it has three ABS modes for personalised control according to environments such Road, Off-Road, and Rally.

Suspension and Dimensions

Talking about the suspension, it has adjustable USD fork shock absorbers with 250mm travel. For rugged off-roading, it has a ground clearance of 270mm that provides stability and control for bumps and lumps in off-roading.
