Hero Xpulse 200 Rally Kit

Priced at Rs 38,000 Hero’s Rally kit for the Xpulse 200 does a pretty decent job morphing the motorcycle into an off-roader that means business. I would make just one change though. I would install proper aluminium hand guards that protect the hand levers.

Those plastic hand guards may do a good job protecting your hands as you tear through thorny bushes or scrape across tree branches on a trail. But they will be pretty useless when (not if) you drop your motorcycle. Even a stationary fall can break a hand lever. You really don’t want to lose your front brake or clutch during a rally or a trail ride.
