Hey guys, heading out from Delhi for a quick 4-day ride (11-14 July) on my Xpulse. Friends are suggesting Baga Sarahan or the Churdhar, but I honestly have no idea what those places are actually like or if they're worth it for a short trip.

Has anyone been to either of these recently? I'm basically looking for a quiet, chill place that's safe to ride to right now. Ideally, I want a spot with a waterfall or stream to take a dip in, and maybe a short, easy trek for a good view.

Let me know if those two fit the bill, or if you have any other offbeat recommendations. Thanks!

CMF Buds 2

Noise Cancellation is noticeable, but I find it's sound really low, I can't hear shit below 60% have to keep it around 90% volume to hear, what could be the reason, even CMF Buds 2a is louder!

Checked the settings, Nothing X app nothing changed!

Looking to get earbuds, initially planned to get some cheap boat one but have seen Boat Nirvana Crystl & CMF Buds 2a and they seemed good so have increased my budget to 2k, which is the best buds in this price, should have clear mic.

Took a test ride of the new Xpulse 210 today at Hero Premia, Naraina.

First things first — the showroom experience was good. Hero has seriously stepped up the premium feel, and seeing Hero Premia right alongside Ducati, BMW, Kawasaki, and Triumph showrooms was honestly surprising 😅

Now coming to the bike itself.

Unfortunately, the test ride unit was in pretty rough shape, and I feel that affected the whole experience.

The issues I noticed almost immediately:

• Clutch was 🫩 very bad, very very little working area

• Handlebar wasn’t straight

• Front brake lever was half broken

• Rear brake was extremely loose (had to press almost all the way down before it actually worked)

• Chain was making a lot of noise

• Even while holding the bars properly with both hands, the bike kept doing this weird left-right dance

• Overall, it felt quite abused

• I was feeling a little crumpled on it like my legs were not as comfortable as the 200 4v (I'm 5.11)

Because of that, I couldn’t really experience the “wow factor” I was expecting.

That said, a few positives were noticeable:

• Engine definitely feels more refined than the 200 4V

• Exhaust note sounds better — deeper and more mature

• Overall smoother feel

But performance-wise, I honestly wasn’t blown away.

Maybe it was the condition of the bike, but my own Xpulse 200 4V still feels more eager in the 0–60 range.

Yes, the 200 screams a bit more, but it also feels more lively and engaging.

The 210 felt more polished, but not enough to make me feel like upgrading.

My takeaway after this ride:

If someone is coming from a lower cc / another bike, the 210 probably makes a lot of sense.

But as a 200 4V owner, this particular test ride didn’t convince me enough.

Maybe a properly maintained test ride bike would change my opinion, but for now I’m exploring other options as well.

Would love to hear from other 200 4V owners who’ve ridden the 210 — did you feel a noticeable difference?

The weather is amazing today. ♥️
