Recently, we’ve shared with you guys several Hero Xpulse 200 renderings that showed us how the dual-sport motorcycle would look like in a specific version - enduro, supermoto, army edition, and whatnot. However, this time we have found an actual motorcycle that hails from China and it looks like that it could rightfully be called the Xpulse 200’s Chinese cousin.
The motorcycle in question is actually
called the Sanya SY200GY. It’s manufactured by a Chinese company called
Guangzhou Sanya Motorcycle Co Ltd. Although complete information about the
two-wheeler isn’t available, we did find some key features and specs. For
instance, powering this motorcycle is a 200cc single-cylinder air-cooled
engine. The braking department comprises a disc brake at the front and a drum
brake at the rear.
In terms of equipment, the Hero Xpulse
200’s Chinese cousin comes with golden USD front forks and a monoshock at the
back to carry out the suspension duties. We can see in the pictures that the
motorcycle also has pre-installed fork protectors. The company has also added
knuckle guards which seem to have some sort of integrated lights, perhaps,
DRLs.
Apart from that, the motorcycle has a
front beak, LED side turn signals, a single-piece seat, a high-mounted exhaust,
and a small rear rack. With the Hero Xpulse 200, we can get proper off-road
tyres as a part of the official rally kit. However, it appears that such tyres
are available with the Xpulse 200’s Chinese cousin as standard. The motorcycle
also has a semi-digital instrument cluster which we think lacks any sort of
Bluetooth connectivity.
As for the dimensions, the Sanya SY200GY
is 2030 mm long, 1150 mm tall, and 830 mm wide. It has a wheelbase of 1360mm and
tips the scale at 128 kg. The company says that this motorcycle is capable of
achieving a top speed of around 90 km/h.
