India's Hero has again been spotted test riding its new adventure model, the "Xpulse 421," ahead of launch. Positioned to rival the KTM 390 Adventure S and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, it's an ambitious effort that has raised expectations for Hero's full-fledged entry into the midsize ADV segment.

Just the fact that it's targeting the KTM 390 Adventure and Himalayan 450 has me leaning right in. A bike where Hero steps beyond its usual small-displacement strength into middleweight ADV. Repeated test-run sightings are proof release is near. Exactly where it'll strike on price and specs — just imagining it is nothing but fun.

It's reached a position where it gets called out by name as a rival, but how polished it actually is you won't know till you ride it.

Which is more popular right now, the KTM 390 Adventure S or the Himalayan 450?

Hero muscling into this class makes sense given the Xpulse series' track record.

Naming both the KTM 390 Adventure S and Himalayan 450 as targets shows just how serious Hero is.
