Hero Unveils the Xpulse 150 at EICMA 2026

Hero MotoCorp has expanded its premium motorcycle lineup with the launch of the Xpulse 150, unveiled at EICMA 2026. The new model follows recent updates to the Xtreme 160R 4V and Xtreme 250R and is positioned as a “baby” Xpulse that slots neatly between the Impulse and the larger Xpulse 200. While early leaks had suggested a 160‑cc engine, the latest images from Reddit user xtremeAnkit show a 150‑cc bike that carries the Xpulse name without any camouflage.

The Xpulse 150 adopts a classic dual‑sport silhouette, featuring a fuel tank shape reminiscent of the Xpulse 200, flamboyant tank shrouds, and a protruding beak. Its headlight is a non‑circular unit with an H‑insignia LED, complemented by LED tail lights and turn indicators. A tall windshield sits above the headlight, and a small LCD digital cluster replaces a TFT display.

The colour palette includes a white‑and‑red scheme, and the bike offers a single‑piece seat, practical rear luggage rack, fork gaiters, long‑travel suspension, a rear mono‑shock, an engine crash guard, and a belly pan. The 150‑cc air‑cooled engine delivers 12.2 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 12.8 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, mated to a 5‑speed gearbox. The front and rear wheels are 21‑inch and 18‑inch respectively.

A fuel‑control dial on the left side indicates a carburettor setup, suggesting the model is aimed at global markets such as South America and Africa; an India‑spec version with fuel injection, ETB, and cruise control may follow.
