I got Xpulse 200 which is phenomenal. I am from Assam where 60% roads are hilly and off roads.. and last week I went to Karbi Anglong. Place known for off road and landscapes. Trust me.. with standing I went around 50-60 kmph on that pebbly road where if I had ridden sitting then my organs would’ve reorganised and when I was returning to my home on highway there was no sounds or machine sound after off-roading. Trust me this Xpulse has took me to such places across northeast that many machines couldn’t. Ultimately... I love Xpulse as tourer as well as Off-roading. In such price (for me) it’s a great deal. Rest is your choice. Thank you 🙏👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Wow Shumi Sir. Thank you so much for replying to my comment 😊 Yes I am Having Fun. A lot of things I’ve got to know from you as well as Varun Sir and kartik sir which helped me alot in motorcycle riding. Thank you so much once again for everything. Keep it up Sir 👍😊
This is just a message of gratitude from a middle aged man who is fantasizing about riding but never rode in his life. Your videos give me hope and courage. You are doing a great job buddy. God bless
XD I was looking for this comment. Just came back from my first long trip on an ADV. I concur. Crazy comfrot, power and still being bale to handle potholes and terrible speed breakers.
Think about it and it's already on UA-cam....looks like shumi and the PD team had conquest the power of mind-reading... Thank God notification for all videos are on 🔥🔥
I really don’t know whom to approach but I love the job shumi does as a test rider. It has always been my dream job and still I am not aware what I need to do for becoming a test rider so that I can close to the machines I love Thanks shumi you have been an inspiration ❤️
They have a podcast episode on automotive journalism as well. And Shumi sir has an older podcast episode about his journey of becoming an automotive journalist.
The more you see the safer you are. This was a reason why I was eager for Impulse as my first bike. Thank you Shumi sir for pointing it out explicitly. 🥰
Agreed to most part and thank you putting this podcast. Each bike has its pros and cons. Cons of adv are The weight and height using in traffic tough. When on the move none of them matter, but when the going gets tough it becomes a big issue. Imagine rains, heavy traffic and not enough to put your foot down. Tyres - if not used off-road then not so much but adv tyres have less grip on road due to its pattern and shape. It’s is compromise one needs to be aware about. Maintenance- adv require more maintenance than regular tourer or sport bike. One can just live it but in general rider spend more time and money. P.s. I own Tenere 700 and have owned AT. Love them and prefer over tourer and sports bike.
As someone in the middle of a road trip on a Himalayan, Shumi has hit the nail on the head. ADVs overtake better because more power and higher line of sight, sudden potholes can be glided through by just standing up a bit. ADVs are perfect for India.
I’m 44 and been having this feeling lately that an ADV is something I need to go for, even if for regular commuting as it’s very comfortable for the rider and pillion, for the kind of roads we have, but had my self doubts, this podcast couldn’t have been better timed, thanks Shumi and Powerdrift
Wow this video has changed so many perceptions i had like i felt ADVs were over kill, not for our country and shortness affecting riding. I am myself 5.2ft riding FZS v3, in normal situations, the most i can get is either of the foot on ground (mostly right foot), its ok while riding but in traffic and taking it back i struggle.
Beautiful explanation of ADV. You really shine in explaining all the details. All of your videos are awesome full of useful information. Keep up the good work sir 🙏🏻
@@vishnukaruvath6121 its my friends you have to ask the seat maker to make seat like that he will modify seat like Himalayan where pillion seat will be more cushoined and will be at a little height where yours will be a little below..both look like Himalayan...
Well explained! Added an ADV to my garage along side a supersport. First time I toured on it and I was covering distances blazingly fast even though performance is similar. The reason being lesser and shorter breaks, less slowing down on bad roads and more comfy riding position.
This is something that I've been explaining to people time and again... ADVs don't automatically mean a unreasonably tall and slow motorcycle.. ADVs have their own flavour. And you'll get to know how good it is, when you taste it yourself... I enjoy riding my GS... But my dad always regarded it as outrageously tall with uncomfortably wide handlebars... One short test ride later... His views changed drastically... You simply cannot ignore the comfort that you can get with a good set of suspensions and a better riding stance.. thanks shumi for taking this up..
As always your insights are priceless! With so much experience you always ooze out gold whenever you open your mouth! 😂 But my point is, in a country like India where most of us are monogamous, how well does an adv fit in the only space for motorcycle in my garage?
I beem using Vstrom for last 2.5 years for commute to Long distance Touring to slight offroading.. In India where normal roads are also so bad and unpredictable, nothing else could beat my bike in comfort performance satisfaction.(or any similar adv bike)
This man is a legend in the Indian motorcycling journalism . Can listen to his podcasts day long , not only is he is a great presenter n reviewer but the way he objectively dissects a topic and gets so deep into explaining the “why” , makes him the best one here in India, he definitely is the Sadhguru when it comes to giving motorcycling gyaan , another excellent video Schumi and powerdrift team, kudos. ☺️
Simply fantastic description! 👏 To me, the adventure is inbuilt in Indian roads.... surprises galore! There can't be any other choice for me than an ADV. There can't be! It's much safer to be riding on ADV any day in India than on any other types! Also waiting for Yezdi ADV.
Shumi who writes content for you. Please give my regards to someone who came up with the idea of an analogy to an icecream shop for the choice of motorcycles. 👍
Perfect topic for discussion. Logical arguments. ADVs are taking the market by storm, and more people need to understand that it is not only if you are going to be offroading. Advs are brilliant for touring, thanks to the suspensions and upright seating position. Hopefully, more and more manufacturers make adv more affordable... Hopefully, we should see a 150cc adv for indian market to accept the adv bike.
At the age of 56 I booked the Himalayan in 2016 with the plan of riding in the Himalayas again. 25 years after my first ride in 1991 in RD350 along with 4 other friends. I along with another friend who was in 1991 trip got in the first lot. In fact there 8 of us in the trip to Ladak in 2016 and 6 of us had bought our Himalayans in March 2016. Don't even remember if I test rode it or not. From that point we have become firm believers in the ADV segment. I went on to buy a used Tiger 800XC and used it for three years and in Jan 2021 I sold it and got a GS1250. There has been no looking back...And I am 5'8"
Please talk about how underrated sportbike touring has become in the whole adv glam. It saves you from the windblast. It’s smaller & more manageable. Looks sexy af. Even better with luggage on it. Doesn’t feel squishy because of long travel suspension, etc etc. 😋
Riding continuously will not require height that much ,but in a stop go traffic and in trails it's very much required and more when you are handling 200kg motorbike ,no matter how much you justify or argue
the biggest reason to get an adv tourer are "Indian roads". i used to tour in gixxer 250 but the bad patches of road really concerned me about the bending of wheel and damage to suspension.. these issue are less prone to occur in adv bikes.
This video has garnered 2.4k likes, on a pretty unconventional topic when it comes to motorcycles; and hasn't had a single dislike - speaks loads about how much Shumi is loved :)
Advs are SUV of 2-wheelers !! now suv can be hardcore or soft but it will be more comfortable than sports car & will be faster than most of commuter hatchbacks on highways
Totally agree... I have always been more of a street naked bikes.. then I got Adv 390... BTW, i have seen your 390 Duke and 390 Adv review with Karthik.. disagree on some points..as I sold my 1st gen Duke 390 after 6 odd years with decent miles on it - City n Touring both but Adv 390 makes touring much more comfortable.. have done 500-600 km days on it..you are less tired EoD.. Do Advs totally makes sense.. and this is when I haven't ridden much the large capacity Advs.. I am sure they wud be more comfortable.. thanks Shumi..
Loved your story Shumi. can relate to everything you say. Though not a straight comaprison, I cycle a lot and always felt safe on a MTB over a city bike simply because of the surprises a road can throw at you.
17s means you have a road bike. Which means normal handling and fantastic cornering. But it also has longer suspension and ground clearance, which means bad roads are easy! For people like me, who’ll take something small and light off-roading if at all, a large 17” wheeled adv is perfection!
Here is a curious case. In small capacity ADV category, why is hero x pulse 200 the only offering in india? TVS and Bajaj can comeup with an ADV if they want to. But why is no other player interested in this area?
So schumi has a multistrada.great. how many can afford that ? And if we talking about having an ADV in India so we need to invest something in range of 5 to 6 lacs. How many can do that and have limited options for that. 390 adv is the only option . Impulse is something that is underpowered and 200 cc. Himalayan can be considered but then again has its limitations as compared to proper ADV. Basically Indian market needs a proper affordable with decent credentials and power.
UA-cam should seriously consider adding a ❤button. I look upon Shumi as my motorcycle teacher & trainer. This video stands testimony to his vast experience and knowledge in the world of motorcycling. Every word of his is valuable.
@@malsawmtluangavarte2777 I was asked to wait for 80 days but I got lucky and got it in a month. Someone cancelled their booking and the dealership called me to check if I want the silver or not. So went ahead and took the silver one apart from the black.
Yet another fantastic piece of content. Few weeks back on a Simplified Video I had left a comment asking PD team to focus on the riding gears available. I think it will make more sense if via a podcast, Varun & Shumi can explain the various riding gear available, what are the bare minimum necessities that one must consider, which type (or price range) of gear is best suited for whom and so on n so worth. I hope Team PD does read this comment and bring out an exhaustive video. 🤞🏼
Excellent insight. My garage is in dire need of one, Having a CBR 250r and a 2016 Duke 390 Old gen. Maybe an Xpluse or the Upcoming Himalayan 450 will do it for me
Wow, just wonderful. ...... I started Biking with a commuter Yamaha Libero, & then attracted to street Naked Bikes & got FZS V2...now a days I'm looking & intrested in ADVS. Not that big ADV, but I want to start with a 250cc ADV. And right now I have only 2 options KTM 250 ADV & Benelli TRK 251....unfortunately, both are not in my budget....so I'm waiting for the sub 2 Lakh 250cc ADV to launch....
i couldnt believe how he is exactly timing the general public, i brushed himalayan aside just for the reasons he said. Going to sit on the drawing broad again to value all options properly! thanks Shumi :)
Oh boi!! U boosted my confidence on another level.. m proud of myself for buying Himalayan n enjoying it past 1 year... Love ur content.. always helpful ❤️
Why are adv's so popular ? Well just returned from work on my classic 350. Just a 10km ride, 8km of which Includes 2 feet deep potholes , a flyover under construction, gravel and sand lying around , 100metre long 3ft deep water logged section of road , hardened concrete sprinkled all over the road by those concrete mixing trucks .
Dear Mr. Shumi, it will be nice if you can lay down some criteria for calling a bike an Adv like ground clearance, wheel size, suspension travel, power and torque, tyre specifications etc,, as quite a few masquerade as Advs. Àlso correlation between kerb weight and safety for highway /off road trips
Need a podcast on aftersales service. Third-party and Manufacturer compared. Bad service good service etc. Why servicing in right intervals by proper mechanics is important?
Yes yes yes!!! completely agreed , I was that NO CRUISER guy and last month I got an 18year old Kawasaki Eliminator ( yeah remember that one ) from a dad's friend ( to restore and sell it ) the next week I called him to tell that im keeping it for myself .
I got Xpulse 200 which is phenomenal. I am from Assam where 60% roads are hilly and off roads.. and last week I went to Karbi Anglong. Place known for off road and landscapes. Trust me.. with standing I went around 50-60 kmph on that pebbly road where if I had ridden sitting then my organs would’ve reorganised and when I was returning to my home on highway there was no sounds or machine sound after off-roading.

After your arrival, Powerdrift became much More interesting. Not just Content with Style but you provide Content with Quality👍🏻
Very true. I love Sumi's insiteful presentations and contests
Yup the guy seems very enthusiastic & knowledgeable.
Adv's makes so much sense for Indian roads because they're like that one bike that does everything well
In a country where there isn't much difference in On Road & Off Road riding, ADV's make whole lot of sense.
Gotta get that Xpulse 200 4V 😎

14:08 Tall narrow ADV with great torque, currently only Himalayan & Xpulse comes to mind.
"Taking a heavy bike offroad isn't something you take lightly ". Pun intended Shumi? 😁
*long travel suspension - utility ergonomics - powerful engine - big wheels - and ability to go from Leh to Goa - enough to water any biker* ❤️⛄
Beautiful explanation of ADV. You really shine in explaining all the details. All of your videos are awesome full of useful information. Keep up the good work sir 🙏🏻
I am 5'11" and I find Xpulse to be very comfy after modding with RE Himalayan seats omg its a perfectly balanced machine..
How did you do that..??. i was searching for such a solution
@@vishnukaruvath6121 its my friends you have to ask the seat maker to make seat like that he will modify seat like Himalayan where pillion seat will be more cushoined and will be at a little height where yours will be a little below..both look like Himalayan...
Nice podcast. Although there is a paradox to this as well - ADVs are about but motorcycling in general is anything but about comfort.
Where did you get that notion? 21 years+ and literally lakhs and lakhs of kilometres and I don’t see a more comfortable mode of transport!
Yet another fantastic Power-Pod. Looking forward to a podcast on headlights and night-riding.
Thanks Sonny!

As usual you give the clarity on many subjects so well. Thank you.

Long travel suspension feels squishy? Maybe it just needs a service! But yes sportsbike touring is properly sexy if you can handle it
I don't see any appeal to it. Adv tourers felt better to handle for me on road. Personal perspective.
Riding continuously will not require height that much ,but in a stop go traffic and in trails it's very much required and more when you are handling 200kg motorbike ,no matter how much you justify or argue
I’m not disagreeing with that. All I’m saying is - it *can* be learnt. And once it is learnt, any motorcycle can be used irrespective of your height.
the biggest reason to get an adv tourer are "Indian roads". i used to tour in gixxer 250 but the bad patches of road really concerned me about the bending of wheel and damage to suspension.. these issue are less prone to occur in adv bikes.
Wow. None can explain so effectively and crisp. Shumi. You jus rock man. Kudos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Another day and another great Podcast from PD and Shumi. A great learning experience.
A very well explained video.. kudos shumi.. the best part of video is when the ice cream example was given cheers team PD. 🤘❤️
Thanks Anshul! That is how a scoop should be I say!
ADV and Scrambler will be the segments that gonna rule in the coming years.

ADV's rock. But street motorcycles are good too. I feel ADV's are tall. Putting a leg over the saddle is sometimes difficult.
The probability of accident is the most within the radius of 5 km of home is very true
Please make a Video on Rev matching... Long awaited
the starting intro is very high pitched....loved the video like always
That was an eye opener, thanks Shumi
All doubts cleared... Thanks Shumi... 👍🏼👍🏼 Now I am more confident to buy Himalayan...

Great one Shumi. Planning one ADV by 2022 year.
Exactly. Loved every bit you said. দারুন ভিডিও 👍
is it a good idea to repair a tyre of which side walls has cracks but treads have a long way to go ?

Just a 10km ride, 8km of which Includes 2 feet deep potholes , a flyover under construction, gravel and sand lying around , 100metre long 3ft deep water logged section of road , hardened concrete sprinkled all over the road by those concrete mixing trucks .
Dear Mr. Shumi, it will be nice if you can lay down some criteria for calling a bike an Adv like ground clearance, wheel size, suspension travel, power and torque, tyre specifications etc,, as quite a few masquerade as Advs. Àlso correlation between kerb weight and safety for highway /off road trips
I already had a soft corner for advs , today watching this podcast I'm definitely going for a adv in NXT two years 😅
Now this is proper explanation 👍🏼
Well explained.. 🙏🏽
