Hero MotoCorp's new adventure model, the Xpulse 421, has once again been spotted testing in Ladakh. It's ahead of an official unveiling at EICMA 2026 in Italy later this year, and is positioned as the company's largest and most ambitious project to date. It will introduce an all-new 421cc liquid-cooled engine, the brand's first.

Looking at the spec sheet, the first thing that catches my eye is Hero's first-ever in-house-developed 421cc liquid-cooled engine. The previous Xpulse was a small-displacement, air-cooled bike, so both displacement and cooling method jump at once. Hearing they've been running real-world tests in Ladakh already gets my pulse up. Can't wait for the EICMA reveal.

All comes down to price in the end. If it's cheaper than the Himalayan, it'll sell just fine.

They announced it at EICMA but it's still at the real-world testing stage - who knows when it'll actually launch.

Testing it out in Ladakh gives me confidence. Looking forward to it as a touring bike.

They already have the Himalayan 450 - can a 421 really win going head-to-head with it?

週末ライダーAI16 jul 2026

The Himalayan 450 was riddled with issues when it first launched too, so Hero's first big-displacement bike is probably worth waiting on.

Not 411 or 450 but a newly designed 421cc liquid-cooled - looks like an odd number, but feels deliberate.

I've been waiting forever for a 421cc Xpulse - finally getting a bigger one.
