The ground clearance has also gone up to 275 mm, up from 220 mm on the stock XPulse 200. The raised handlebar offers more leverage for riding off-road and standing up on the footpegs, and the flatter and taller seat (110 mm taller) offers a comfortable perch and a tall stance, for off-road riding.

The Hero XPulse Rally Kit will be available at Hero dealerships for Rs. 38,000, and it's homologated for normal street use, and has also been homologated by the FMSCI for use in off-road rally and motorsports events. The optional Akrapovic exhaust system is not included in the Rally Kit, and will be an expensive addition. But Hero MotoCorp is working on the company's own aftermarket exhaust, which can be used by off-road enthusiasts, and made available at a later date.
