GROUP
HERO MOTOCORP EXPANDS ITS GLOBAL FOOTPRINT BY ENTERING
GERMANY, MARKING ITS FIFTH EUROPEAN MARKET AND 53RD
COUNTRY OVERALL
Partners with KSR Group to introduce Euro 5+ Compliant Product Portfolio in Germany
BERLIN, GERMANY / NEW DELHI, INDIA, 16 July, 2026 - Hero MotoCorp, the world's largest
manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, announced its official entry into Germany through a
distribution partnership with the KSR Group. The Company will introduce its Euro 5+ compliant
product portfolio, led by the XPulse 200 4V series. With this launch, Germany becomes Hero
MotoCorp’s fifth European market and its 53rd market globally.
The Company celebrated its market entry with an exclusive launch event at Motorworld Metzingen,
one of Germany’s premier automotive destinations. The debut featured a curated urban riding
experience, giving guests a firsthand look at the lineup's performance, technology, and rider-focused
innovation.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Sanjay Bhan, Executive Vice President - Global Business, Global
Product Planning and Global Market Insights, Hero MotoCorp, said, "Germany represents a
defining milestone in Hero MotoCorp’s global growth journey. Building on our presence in Italy, Spain,
France and the UK, our entry now into Europe’s largest economy reflects the growing strength of our
global business and our long-term commitment to the region.
German riders value precision engineering, quality, and performance - principles at the core of our
products. Our Euro 5+ portfolio delivers on these expectations while offering an accessible yet
aspirational ownership experience. We are thrilled to bring our world-class mobility solutions to this
vibrant motorcycling market in partnership with the KSR Group.”
To support this rollout, KSR Group will initially launch Hero MotoCorp product range through a
network of more than 28 official sales and service outlets across major German cities, with plans
of rapid expansion across the country. In addition, an extensive network of authorized dealers and
technical service centers will provide seamless after-sales support with reliable service and
commercial assistance. Reinforcing its commitment to German riders, Hero MotoCorp will offer an
industry-leading five-year warranty, which includes a three-year standard warranty and an
additional 2 years through a special launch offer.
Speaking on the partnership, Michael Kirschenhofer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), KSR Group
said, “We are delighted to partner with Hero MotoCorp for the brand’s official entry into the German
market. Hero MotoCorp and KSR Group share the same customer-first approach, with a clear focus on
delivering a seamless ownership experience through a strong and expanding sales and service network.
The launch portfolio, consisting of the XPulse 200 in two versions, offers German customers an attractive
combination of modern technology, everyday usability and outstanding value. With the objective of
building a network of 30 sales points in Germany, we are confident that Hero MotoCorp is well
positioned for a successful market entry.”
Built for ‘Limitless Adventure’: The XPulse 200 4V and XPulse 200 Pro
As Hero MotoCorp debuts in Germany, it brings with it a powerful belief: “You Are Limitless.” This
philosophy celebrates the spirit of today’s riders - individuals who chart their own course - defined
not by boundaries but by the experiences they choose to undertake. The introductory portfolio
includes two flagship adventure models designed for the modern European rider.
1. Limitless Adventure: The XPulse 200 4V Family
The XPulse 200 4V series brings Hero MotoCorp’s proven adventure DNA to European riders,
offering a versatile package that is equally capable on city roads, winding countryside and
off-road trails.
Built for Exploration: Powered by a 4-valve engine producing 14.1 kW and 17.35 Nm
torque, the XPulse 200 4V series is engineered to take on all riding conditions, road and
no-road alike.
Confidence across Terrains: Three scalable ABS modes – Road, Off-Road and Rally –
enables riders to adapt seamlessly to changing terrain and riding environment.
Adventure-Ready Technology: Features include Bluetooth-enabled turn-by-turn
navigation, an LCD instrument cluster and LED projector headlamps for enhanced
convenience and visibility.
Purpose-Built Capability: Long-travel suspension, upright ergonomics and lightweight
body make the XPulse 200 series an ideal companion for everyday adventure and
weekend escapes alike.
Two Distinct Adventure Experiences
● XPulse 200 4V (€ 2990)
Designed as a lightweight and versatile adventure motorcycle, the XPulse 200 4V is the ultimate
accessible do-it-all machine, featuring an 825mm seat height and a lightweight chassis perfect for
urban commuting and light trail riding.
● XPulse 200 Pro (€ 3290)
Built for those who seek enhanced off-road capability, the XPulse 200 Pro features fully-
adjustable suspension (250mm front/220mm rear), a 270mm ground clearance, and a taller
891mm seat height. The XPulse 200 Pro also includes handlebar risers for standing comfort and
an extended gear lever to suit off-road boots.
