Deliveries have started in Bangalore.
Waiting period quoted by the Sai premia dealer was 30 days.
Some folks have already completed 1st service.

The deliveries of Xpulse have begun. The pre-bookings that were taken by RT Krishna in Bangalore, are being fulfilled. However, I don't think the deliveries for folks that have done online booking has even started. The day I test rode at Singasandra (28-March) saw the first Xpulse 210 delivery.

Great review! I recently borrowed an Xpulse 2004V from a friend and went to a short ride on different roads of Hyderabad. The way it took care of speed breakers, potholes, cobblestones and the extended speed breakers of Techridge (lanco hills) amazed me. I fell in love with it because of the comfortable suspension and way it ate up the unexpected bumps and potholes when I missed to slow down on unknown roads. Highway cruising is fine for me as I ride mostly between 80-100. Then Hero launched the 210 and looking at this review, it seems that going for 210 is the better and sensible option as I plan to keep it longer. Kindly suggest if its better to go for the base variant and spend on a better helmet, jacket, gloves and boots or stretch the budget a bit and go for the top variant? Thanks in advance.

In my option go for the Top variant since the delta is under rs15k onroad price. I estimate that a better helmet and other bike gears won't be adjusted in this amount. For starters, keep aside about rs30k for buying bike gears (of which begin with Helmet, Gloves, Boots, Jacket, Protection pads - in that order).
I too am planning to buy this in a years time.
Hope this helps.

Base variant does not have dual-channel ABS. It is a must a have for those frequenting the highways. The additional 15-20k is worth it , esp. if you plan to keep the bike longer.

Xpluse 210 looks like a vehicle made post lot of feedbacks from existing 2004v customers and keeping in mind how to address a bigger customer pool. With all the reviews available it looks like an all rounder not only for off roading but even for daily usage.
