Hero MotoCorp has introduced its new Hero Xpulse 150 adventure bike at EICMA 2026. With a 150 cc engine, 12.2 bhp power and 220 mm ground clearance, this bike is designed to offer an adventure riding experience at a light weight. The Hero Xpulse 150 is a small engine bike from the company's Xpulse family and can be an attractive option for riders looking for an affordable adventure motorcycle. The company has also introduced the Xpulse 450 and the Scrambler concept at the show held in Milan, Italy.
The new bike is powered by a 150 cc air/oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine. This engine generates 12.2 bhp of power and 12.8 Nm of torque. It comes with a 5-speed gearbox. The company has focused on low weight, good ground clearance and easy handling in this bike rather than high power. So this bike can be useful for daily commuting in the city as well as riding on bad roads.

In terms of weight, the Xpulse 150 has a curb weight of 141.5 kg. The bike gets a ground clearance of 220 mm, which reduces the chances of the lower part getting bumped while traveling over potholes, stones and uneven roads. It has 826 mm seat height and 10.6 liter fuel tank. So this bike can be considered for long distance travel as well. But for shorter riders it will be important to experience the seat height firsthand.
The design features a tall front mudguard, windscreen, upright handlebars and slim bodywork. This gives the bike a traditional adventure motorcycle look. Apart from this, single-piece seats, rear luggage rack and digital instrument console are also offered. It gets 19-inch wheels at the front and 17-inch wheels at the rear. This setup can come in handy when traveling on rough roads and light off-road tracks.

The Hero Xpulse 150 will be positioned below the Xpulse 200 and Xpulse 210. Also, this bike will appeal to a different type of rider than the Xpulse 450 with its 421 cc engine. Its low weight and simple engine setup is expected to keep its price affordable. But the company has not announced the launch date and price in India. So, when the entry of this new bike in the Indian market is made, the riders will be paying attention.
