Hero's upcoming flagship adventure bike, the Xpulse 420, was caught in close-up spy shots during high-altitude testing in Leh-Ladakh in northern India. Positioned above the current Xpulse lineup, the new ADV's equipment and styling details were revealed in the spy photos.
The Xpulse 420, caught during high-altitude testing in Ladakh — just looking at the spy shots stirs my imagination. Being higher in the Xpulse series means the displacement and equipment should be a size more serious too. Testing at that altitude is proof they're refining reliability in a brutal environment. Official specs aren't out yet, but I'm dying for exactly this kind of 'pre-announcement fragment' to chase.

Spy shots get everyone hyped every time, but when's it actually launching?
The Xpulse 250 already handled both trails and highways fine, so a 420 should make touring a lot easier.
Honestly at this price bracket it's going to get compared to the KTM 390 Adventure.
For touring purposes, considering ground reach, Hero might honestly be the more realistic pick.
A 420cc single, I'd guess — if so, I'm curious how bad the vibration is.
I always had the Xpulse pegged at 250cc — is a 420 coming out too?
Since it's talked about as a higher-tier model, it's a new bike sitting above the 250.
Just the fact that it's being tested in Ladakh already sounds cool. I definitely want one.
