Hero Impulse review, first ride

By Neha Chandiwal


The Impulse 150 is the 1st bike to use a Hero MotoCorp badge & Hero Moto has smartly gone forward to kick-start off a new off-road section with this motorbike.

The Impulse appears the piece. Its lengthy, black mudguard juts simply like a beak, over which sits a higher headlamp. Vast handlebars occur with knuckle-guards to preserve mud off your arms when driving in the rough, while just behind, the fuel tank will come clad with big scoops. As each go-everywhere motorcycle should be, the Impulse has a height with a high seat that purposefully drags over the tank. The Impulse arrives with a big LED tail mild.

Powering the Impulse is 149.2cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled & single-cylinder engine, creating 13.2bhp of electricity and 1.36 kgm of torque. The Impulse 150 uses a five-speed gearbox that shifts easily in the universal, 1-down, 4-up pattern. The engine offers great very low- and mid-array punch.

Hero Impulse 150 is no poser. You get a substantial 245mm floor clearance and it will come armed with long-stroke front suspension & a special higher-stress gasoline-charged rear damper. To enhance floor clearance, its exhaust pipes around the motor just before exiting in addition to the pillion seat.

The metal brake operating pedal has a seprated finish, providing highest grip in the muck. The rear sprocket will get a strong plate that stops the string from slipping when driving through rough terrain. The Impulse uses higher tensile steel that ensures this chassis and swing arm are more robust than conventional bikes.

A highlight to the bike is the sense of self confidence which you can take on terrain astride this bicycle. A wonderful upright riding position and broad handlebars give the motorcycle at ease seating placement, and make it straightforward to steer. The ambigu-cradle body is robust & aids handling. Capable suspension & meaty tyres gear our roads well. On a sleek check monitor the Impulse feels confident-footed, speedily transforming course with a forgiving sense that shortly offers you adequate confidence to start off sliding the bicycle.
