Standing up and riding on the Hero Xpulse 200 doesn’t come easy. It’s not a bother at slow speeds, but it can be a lot of work on fast and flowing trails. The challenge is with the rider’s triangle. The rider triangle is the relation between the distances of the handlebar, the seat, and the footpegs on a motorcycle.
On the Xpulse, the triangle is such that the faster one rides standing up, the harder one must pull at the handlebar to keep the upper body canted over the fuel tank. The seating triangle also makes the transitions from sitting down to standing up a tad challenging.
JCMoto – run by ex-journalist and custom motorcycle and parts builder Joshua Crasto - says it has come up with a solution. The new footpeg hangers move the footpegs lower and further back compared to the stock setup making transitions between sitting and standing up on the Xpulse quicker, easier and less tiring. Additionally, the hangers were designed with three things in mind - improved standing ergos, higher rigidity, and better durability than the stock units.
