Hero showcases the brand’s flagship lineup alongside the VIDA’s newest offering for Europe at EICMA 2026
Hero MotoCorp showcased the brand’s premium bike lineup for 2027, starring the brand’s flagship adventure bike, the XPulse 450, which is now also the brand’s most powerful offering. The brand also unveiled the Harley-Davidson X350T, which has a design language similar to the X440T. The Xpulse 450 will be coming to global markets and Indian markets, with the X350T catering to the Indian market. Hero also announced the launch of VIDA in Europe with the Vida VX2 scooter and VIDA DIRT.E K3 dirt bike for younger riders.
Hero XPulse 450
Hero has designed the XPulse 450 from the ground up and has developed it in collaboration with the Hero MotoSports Rally team. At first glance, the bike has the same ADV-esque silhouette as the XPulse 210, with an upswept exhaust, spoked wheels, knuckle guards, and a windscreen. It will also support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It is powered by a 421cc liquid-cooled engine that produces 46.6 bhp at 9,100rpm and 38Nm of torque at 7,500rpm. The bike features a KYB 43mm USD front fork, which is fully adjustable and offers 225mm of travel, along with a monoshock at the rear.
Harley-Davidson X350T
The X350T is inspired by the same design language as the X440T and is powered by a new 350cc air- and oil-cooled engine which is fed by an electronic throttle body; power figures and performance figures are yet to be released. What we do know is that the bike features a trellis frame and USD suspension, which Hero claims is tuned for comfort, agility, and highway stability.
Vida VX2
The VX2 has been designed with European cities in mind and gets a 140km of WMTC range in Eco mode and a top speed of 90kmph, it gets dual removable IP67-rated batteries which can be charged at home. It will be available on showroom floors beginning in December 2026 in Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia and Croatia.
VIDA DIRT.E K3
VIDA’s dirt bike for younger riders is also designed to grow with them and is engineered by Hero MotoCorp’s tech centre in Germany. It features a three-stage adjustable platform with an optional suspension setup for the larger setup. A limited edition will also be available, featuring 100 individually numbered units with Portuguese livery.
