Honda CB200X vs Xpulse 200 : We have a winner : PowerDrift
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The Honda CB200X and the Hero Xpulse 200 may seem like different motorcycles and there's some truth to that. The CB200X is an upgraded commuter with upmarket bodywork, while the XPulse 200 is a beginner off-roading motorcycle that will open the door to a completely different world, quite literally. That said, both the motorcycles can handle the daily grind equally well. So which one should you pick? Shumi and Varun discuss over a glass of coffee.

What if someone bought the rally kit and fixed it in his cb200x 🤔🤔🤔
@@porkoholic good question
Moral of the story xpulse just killed cb 200x and wait for xpulse 200 4v it will bury cb 200x
Casting couch, Jungle mein mangal, hilkae; is the potable water supply at Powerdrift being sabotaged and adulterated?
I think Pulsar ns200 is better bike for everything more power and awsome bike 😆🤟💖✨
Honda's made the right bike but I think the roads are wrong 😂😂😂 Hero Xpulse 200 Proud owner here 😍

Meanwhile in Honda's headquarters:
Sheessh that was "fun"..... So when are we launching the next Activa?
Hahahaha... Nailed it
Ha ha ha... Honda probably views India as a scooter market primarily...
Activa 7G
can't wait for reality to hit them hard when they suddenly lose 30-40% sales in 6 months after ola's have started delivering in huge numbers
Can't agree more! Activa 69G🤣
Wellll... Seeing "HeroHonda" together after decades of divorce.. 😂😂
Thanks to PowerDrift 🔥
Well it really hurts me , am a proud owner of hero honda
8:55 The impulse did a cameo in this video
Yessir
Shumi mentioned impulse my heart filled with joy as a proud owner .....8years of companionship....70000kms together...blessed😊...8.55 orange impulse
Wowww....keep it up 🤟🏽
8:55 you can see a impulse
same with me too .9 years of Impulse ownership ,nearing 2lk kms.
@@achusivan5083 yeah you're eyes is Sharpe 😅
indeed
If Xpulse had the body work like CB200X it would be a dream bike for me. I love how the CB200X looks but prefer Xpulse's overall performance and what it offers.
True. Hero should put the new 200 4V enhine in the Xtreme 160r package, whatsay?
Atleast seat
True man...for now it's just the seat!! Would buy it in a heartbeat!
@@myytexp7493 maybe I'll buy the xpulse I'll love to ride itt ❤️❤️
Just check the new CRF 190l ..new bike just launched ..but honda ki ma k Achu ..nahi launch karenge
Got the Xpulse 3monrhs back and was worried if the decision was wrong after seeing X but now I'm 3000% sure I'm on the right side
You absolutely are
Absolutely right. Honda India's products are more show than go! I owned an Aviator scooter once, hard suspension, brittle plastic panels that didn't fit together and were taped together for most of its life, rusting issues...But that's another story for another day.
How's the bike? How's the power? Is it good for highway rides? SO many people says its bad for highway.
This high up hornet is worst...you made the right choice
@@nandudurgadas for me the bike is excellent and more than I expected. While coming to power it's totally in the lower end and while coming to the highway cruise can do 💯 for hours. Overall an excellent package but the new 4v is dominant
My native is Chennai and xpulse makes a lot of sense because of its upswept exhaust who’s is blessing in floods 😂 and that ground clearance and very low maintenance among the 200cc bikes ✌🏻
City mileage
Xpulse 4V is enough than that fake 200x sticker
Well said
True
Agreed
@@manishshrestha4239Bro how many can buy expensive bike for common people like us every bike is gem and in this money also matters but this is for honda fan boy , value for money is definitely Xpulse comparing with this ADV look It's not about looks, it's about work😶
Cb 200x
Mileage better than xpulse
Seating comfort better than xpulse
Tubeless Tyres
No vibration in 100s
Good engine than xpulse 👍
Gotcha so shut your fake ass
TVS XL100 can also perform good on good roads but the question is who delivers good ride quality on all types of road. It is Xpulse.
And it is going more refined with its upcoming 4V engine.
TVS XL is a true off-road bike. Just ask any villager and he will vouch for its rugged, reliable performance and very low cost of maintenance,😎😎
😂right
8:55 a legend was spotted ❣️
nice observation
haaa re
What? Who?
@@rutwickgangurde3247 hero impulse
"Honda made a right bike but our roads are wrong" nailed it 🤣🤣🤣
4 valve version of xpulse will dominate more over other bikes 🔥
Looking at the current climatic conditions Xpulse will make more sense 🤣
I'd pick the Xpulse 200 for the fact that it is a capable off-roader which can do decent if not amazing on-roading.
Honda CB200x is striked off the list because:
a. It is just pretentious about being an ADV
b. No where near as rugged as the Xpulse
c. Way too overpriced
d. Does not have a kick starter ( important for me).
Xpulse 200 😇
I even purchased it on 10th September
Completed 700kms on xpulse awesome enjoying motorcycle
Me on 16th sept. Completed 693 kms and I love it ❤
@@TheNorthEastGuy31 awesome 🎉
Its what the magic of this bike ...where everyone gets in love with this bike at first ride ❤️
Bro how is the seat height for a 5'8 guy with pillion
@@simplestain6409 you can reach the ground not flat footed though but you can reach it on both sides, i m 5.7
Hallo....which 1 will best pick from...Xpulse bs4 or bs6 4V...
And i will be better to use as commuter bike...
Please share your experience and view...
Honda seems a step below in everything nowadays. What they offer is already been notched up a level and offered by another manufacturer. Honda needs to step a little in performance and step down in price
There R&D Team only focusing on next gen Activa only🤣🤣
😊please ride cb 200 x one-time then say
I would blindly go with the Xpulse. It best suits our award winning roads.
Where Shumi destroyed 200x 's entire career 12:57
Honda deserves it.
Launching shitty overpriced bike in India
true
"Commuter++". Nailed it Shumi! I love the fact that 200x has desirable ride ergonomics unlike other entries in the huge commuter segment. A 200cc adv from TVS would be a home run IMO.
TVS makes the best off road bike in India period! TVS XL.
On any given day, TVS XL bikes covers more off road distances than all other adventure bikes combined. An average TVS XL rider does more river crossing or dirt road riding in one month than riders on xPulse or Himalayan.
Everytime I go on dirt road in villages on my KTM and struggle on the narrow pathways, the local villagers look at me as a city fool who doesn't know how to ride!
To rub salt on my wound, they demonstrate the ease in which they ride on a TVS XL
Off road: Xpulse
Commuter: RTR2004v
SIMPLE 😄
Xpulse any day... During my touring days I have clocked over 400000 kms... With paved roads, off roads and no roads... Having a versatile bike makes sense...
Back pain after long drive??
@@srinivasbengalurumysuru yeah great suspension and a comfy seat is all you need to complete a saddle sore in comfort...
Honda made the right bike
But
Roads are wrong
- classic shumi 😂😂
The hero x pulse is perfect adv and
Good adv bike in it's price segment
It's a dualsport bike ... Adv bike is himalayan ... It's more than 160 kg it's an adv if it's less than 160 kg it's a dualsport ... If it's less than 100 kg .then dirt bike
XPulse will be remembered as legend after Karizma r !!
Xpulse all day everyday
I go off-roading in my honda shine and activa sp and sometimes tvs xl works well to me every time.
When Xpulse Was Launched I Thought It'll Be Another Flop Motorbike,But Once I Saw It's Modifications And Abilities Soon I Became Fan Of It.
Hero has a winner on their hands. Xpulse is a versatile bike. Touring, offroading, commuting... There's nothing it can't do. Proud to be an Xpulse owner
Honestly, nothing is honest in that CB200X, for me is a glorified SP125
rr310 had 180mm ground clearance. while cb200x calling itself adv 😳 tvs can make a better adv i guess.
I always wanted a bike that looks like ADV, providing upright posture, mileage and comfort. CB200x is designed for people like me. I bought a Himalayan, which I use most often for commuting in cities. If Honda CB200X was available 2 years ago, I would have bought it over Himalayan. Himalayan is an awesome bike on highways but the mileage and puncture anxiety is too stressful to handle.
No doubt Xpulse is best 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
you guys make videos that it seems you are choosing bikes as your bride and doing swayamvar competition. HAHA HAAAAAHAAA 😂
Yeah, Powerdrift 👍👌👌
Really enjoyed the video....👍😌
Just waiting for Xpulse 4Valve version 🤩🤩
A year ago, I bought the BS6 Xpulse after a long hard look at the Hornet 200 and frankly I didn't know that the 200X is coming. When the 200X came out looking so fabulous, I had begun to doubt my choice. But after your insights, I am glad to say that there is nothing I missed out on and I wouldn't have changed my decision even today. As a Xpulse 200 rider I know there are some sore points... The headlight could be better for one. And it isn't great for the pillion... Pillions can go for short distances only without complaint and the rear part of the seat is granite hard. So value for money Xpulse is great. The only alternative is the Himalayan which is much more expensive and very very heavy which was a put off for me. Also the Apache is great, but I chose to trade Horsepower and sharp handling for suspension travel. And it was a good trade off. On the Xpulse I literally had
have the confidence to put it through some nasty potholes just to feel it just filter them out totally.
What more can you expect from a company that focuses on selling more and more Activas every month and not think of bringing something like the cbr 150r which can easily take on the likes of the R15. Honda treats India as a scooter market only and tries to lure customers with these gimmicky products, while gems like the Xpulse (like the impulse) go unnoticed on the roads.
yes bro .. even if u visit on there instagram page on activa and fucking activa..🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢
I'd go for FZ25 instead of CB 200X for the same on road price 😆😆
with the 4v coming
just modify seats for more comfort, it will kill cb200x in every term
Its already no near to the xpulse
In the same way A good suspension and higher ground clearance in cb 200x can kill xpulse ..
@@sharunps4356 not pocket friendly tho
@@thisisganeshyes .. bit overpriced but service cost are pocket friendly like every honda two wheelers
Hero hands down killed off the Honda 200X with the XPulse 200 4V💯💯
This is what the XPulse should have been right from its launch.
Hopefully the power is bumped to 20ps
CB200X - Because I want a reliable simple, 100% road ridden bike with decent power to cruise at 80kmph in a comfortable stance. This ticks the box for a lot of Indians man come on.
Thank you PD for sending message to Honda that India expects more from them and they always succeed to disappoint. All they want to sell in India is Activa.
Xpulse 200 anyday. Waiting for a 350/400cc Xpulse someday
1:52 Honda with its mighty 184.4 cc engine overtook a jogger 🤯
That's it, I've made my decision
Calling 184cc bike as a "200" is funny for them, until calling 373cc bike as a 400 🤣 what a hypocrite
The Hero Xpulse 200 it is.
As Shumi quipped, its an honest bike with the best intentions of what is claims to do. Those extra few CCs and BhPs help. Also, one thing that Shumi and Varun failed to highlight (in depth) is the Ground clearance, the Honda CB200X has a ground clearance lower than my Bajaj Avenger 220 Street!! How about a bike that looks like an ADV but has a ground clearance of a low slung cruiser? On the other side of the spectrum you have the Xpulse which has SUV like GC!
Also, some people on this forum are saying they like the looks (with the semi fairing et all) of the CB200X, well there is a reason why a semi-dirt bike doesnt have a fairing and bolt ons, coz these bikes are meant to take a fall or two and those fairings are gonna get loose or crack the moment the bike is on its sides.
Apart from the Himalayan, currently, there is no other bike which looks the way the XPulse does. It doesnt wear a Tuxedo coz its not going to a meeting, it wears the gear of a mountain climber coz thats what it is.
P.S. I dont own an Xpulse but probably will do once the 4 Valve launches and settles in.
If Honda had brought CRF or XR in India, Xpulse wouldnt even had a chance.😂
I took the rtr 200 4v after test driving both rtr and hornet 2.0. I felt rtr to be more smoother than the hornet. Hornet started vibrating in the foot pegs and tank after 4.5k rpm while tvs was butter smooth in those ranges
Enfield thump at 7:05 :D .. and btw, who is gonna remember CB200x in 10 years :P nice one guys .. Honda will always be remembered for Activa .. thts what they prefer to sell in India.
X pulse is an unbeatable legend of it's segment.
Winner of the year hero x
I think that has been the problem with Honda India since a very long time hasn't it...they kinda launch safe md outdated motorcycles here which will sell only bcoz of brand value but in terms of innovation when was the last time honda came up with sumthng that changed or atleast created some ripples in the motorcycling industry. Well its an easy choice outta these two...xpulse even if it was more expensive than the honda for me for the sheer fun it brings to u.
I don't do off-roads & I don't like the looks of Xpulse. My purpose are city rides & long highway touring. I think i should go for CB 200X. What's your opinion @powerdrift @shumi @varun ?
Xpulse any day... Especially with the upcoming 4v head.
Without watching I can say xpulse will win
Xpulse always any day. Does everything from daily commuting to weekend thrills. cheaper by 20k and the new 4 valve version will help it on the highway touring as well. So an overall better package and bang for the buck.
Objectively all the advantages of CB200X is in Hornet. Unless your really REALLY like the look of CB200X, I don't see a point on getting cb200x over hornet.
👍 Liked it.. honest review. New Xpulse with 4 valve is even better with 1 bhp and 1 nm more. Hero also has updated that the mid range and top end is improved with upgraded oil cooler, would run smoother and relaxed. Also with reworked seat contour, 21 percent bright headlight with just 5K price hike is even better and more value for money
Looks like Xpulse 2004v will smoke cbx200 out of competition when it comes out
The awaited one video..
I have ridden xpulse 200 for long distance it is best when off-road but long distance tour the seat was bit uncomfortable...
I waiting to try out cb200x maybe it'll fit me..
I'll mostly use for short rides to college etc and a weekend long ride ✨..I liked the xpulse 🔥🔥.only problem felt was seat ❄️
Here in upper Himachal, There are xpulses everyone coz people really need that kind of motorcycle here
Realistic review 💙 looking forward for the launch of Xpulse 200 4V and it's first ride review by PD 🔥
Honda vale will b saying " gajab bejati ho gayi" 😂😂😂
J
I really want an affordable adventure tourer. Currently the cheapest one is The KTM Adv 250. But there's nothing cheaper out there. Xpulse doesn't count because it's an off-roader.
And I think KTM's 390 adv has the good electronics and stuff. 250 felt too much stripped when I read about it
Review of CB 200x from infobikes channel will come soon… stay tuned!!
@@sbibungkawnatm6463 Please, please be a objective review. I can't understand how these bike opinions(they sure ain't no journalists, more like propaganda) fail to get these are bikes in different segments. Honda products are often way more refined, and who do not love to not feel your hands because of all the vibrations, there is a reason the Activa are such that ALL scooters are called Activas by most women I know in India, including my sister in law.... lol
@@rekleif if I want to go on roads I will buy hornet, if off road then xpulse 200x is the awkward middle child
honda can make a cb300x, a 160 kg adventure tourer and it will be a hit if they do it right.
Xpluse only 🔥
Waiting ahead for XPULSE 2004V 🖖
Honda CB200X is based on the Hornet 2.0 chassis that is having issue in Chassis. Honda after sales service is worst. They are selling bikes with manufacturing defects and don't want to accept it. Making fool of Indian customers. So say no to Honda & go for Indian brands, as they are making good bikes these days.
8:54 u see an impulse in the video as well.... That bike did make an impact for sure.
*ലെ CB 200X നിർത്തി അങ്ങ് അപമാനിക്കുവാണേ 🤭🤣🤣
I want xpulse 200 4v
For 3 reason
1. Wanna be rough on tough roads
2. I don't wanted to be stressed when my bike falls
3. Mileage and light weight
Xpulse is also the second or third bike in so many garages! :P Best VFM bike in India atm...
I'm eagerly waiting for Xpulse 4V. Hope that it will improve the highway touring. Please compare it with Apache 200 4V l.
I need a fabulous dirt offroader + on roader for touring and xpulse / himalyan / ktm 390 adv is just not it.
friend is suggesting I buy a
Honda 500x and then spend another bomb to modify it for my needs.
any ideas who can modify it in mumbai ?
I love this channel so much..Hats off for always being honest .Quality content👌🏻
I own an xpulse...this is the best bike in today's market for the price and service and spare cost are cheap and in 1 hr service will be done in Bangalore. And gives 50+ mileage and finally i can take this bike anywhere
Proud xpulse owner with 74k kms in ODO.. Loves a lot🤩
It’s not that honda has lost charm but indian makers are catching up even surpassing in some cases in small capacity bikes
Xpulse still 💪🔥Unbeatable 🖒
The amount of satire in this vid will even put the british theater to shame
Xpulse definitely 💥 as always fabulous job guys. Hoping tosee some bike drags soon.
xpulse lover.. enjoy too much.. this video😂😂😂😂
Thank you shumi, varun for being honest and that's one of many reasons I love powerdrift content.
Guys you didn't compared these bikes you've roasted cb200x😂😂😂
Xpulse is an honest motorcycle! Shumi's use of words is so precise
'Splendor' off-road and On road dual purpose bike,but proud to Owner of Xpulse Ofcourse..
Xpulse anyday 💥❤️
U people got a new subscriber. U just cleared my doubts. But i am going to buy 200t 4v
Great comparison and loved the points that were discussed ❤️🔥🔥
How in heaven's name do you compare an urban Tourer and an Offroader???
I feel the only question that comes to my mind is how much easy is The Xpulse on the basis of service network of Hero and maintanence cost of Xpulse. The Honda has an advantage over these points. Otherwise the Xpulse seems a better bike if these two points are improved.
The avg service cost of the xpulse is almost ₹900
Hero is present in every nook and corner of the country. The maintenance is cheap too. How does Honda have an advantage here? 😁
@@logicalidiot The quality of service that Honda gives is lot better than Hero at present. Generally the bikes sold by Hero are 100cc bikes.
Which bike is best bro please tell
Honda has such a massive inventory of bikes in its reserve - it could have easily brought in a genuine entry level ADV into India.
But why didn’t it do that? Because Honda still believes we Indians are foolish to simple lap up a rebadged Hornet at a whopping 30k extra. Simply for this reason we should simple stay away from this dishonest bike
'Xpulse will be remembered' that the point 🤩
Feeling proud to be a rtr 200 owner. That bike brought smile on my face.
Watching for your comment. RTR all time fav.
correct to the point conversation !
You can't have a comparison between two 200cc bikes without the RTR 2004v saying a 'Hi’. 😂😂
Offcourse xpulse
Now I can say cb 200x suits for me ...
I own Hornet... Don't ask about suspension 😂😂😂
