Hero MotoCorp recently launched the Impulse motorcycle in the Indian market, pricing it at Rs. 78,000/- (on-road, Mumbai). At the 2012 Auto Expo, the company not only had the Impulse on display along with a huge banner of the bike but also had a dirt track ready to showcase what the Impulse can do. Trained riders from South had come to pilot the Impulse, which is India’s first transroader. The showcase was worth seeing and the riders jumed, wheelied and everything in between to show how good the Impulse is on dirt terrain. I won’t divulge much and will let the pictures do the talking.

The Hero Impulse is powered by a 150cc, 4-stroke engine which produces 13 BHP of peak power at 7500 RPM and 13.4 Nm of peak torque at 5000 RPM. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The Hero Impulse is a motorcycle which feels at home on any terrain. The high ground clearance and the motocross tyres add to the go-anywhere feel the Impulse posseses. With a weight of just 119 kgs, the Impulse is easy to flick on the worst of roads and has a mono suspension to ensure it takes all the pothholes in its stride with grace.
