Adventure Fever Rising in Nepal

Get ready, riders. The world’s biggest motorcycle exhibition, EICMA 2025 Milan, has wrapped up — and two thrilling new bikes are already on Nepal’s radar. The Hero XPulse 210 Dakar Edition and the BMW F 450 GS turned heads at the global stage, and both are expected to make their way to Nepal right after their India launch.

These upcoming machines aren’t just updates. They’re big statements from two brands looking to dominate the adventure and touring scene in South Asia.

Hero XPulse 210 Dakar Edition Takes Rally Spirit Mainstream

Hero MotoCorp came to EICMA 2025 swinging with the XPulse 210 Dakar Edition, a rally-inspired upgrade built for riders who live for dirt trails, rocky roads, and high-altitude rides.

This beast is powered by a 210cc single-cylinder, DOHC, 4-valve, liquid-cooled engine that pumps out 24.6 bhp and 20.7 Nm of torque. It’s paired with a 6-speed gearbox, giving the rider smooth control across varying terrains.

The Dakar Edition isn’t just about power. It’s about precision. It packs a fully adjustable rally-spec suspension setup both front and rear — perfect for serious off-roaders looking for that extra edge.

Key Highlights

• 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster with smart connectivity

• Turn-by-turn navigation with gear position indicator

• Switchable dual-channel ABS for complete control

• Full LED lighting for enhanced visibility

• Enduro-style tail section for that aggressive rally look

Why It Matters for Nepal

Hero already has a solid presence in Nepal through CG Motors, with popular models like XPulse 200, Xtreme, and Splendor leading the lineup. The XPulse 210 has already been unveiled, but its official sale is still pending. Once Hero launches the 210 Dakar Edition in India, Nepal will likely be next in line, making it one of the most anticipated arrivals of 2026 for off-road enthusiasts.

BMW F 450 GS The Compact Adventure Revolution

BMW Motorrad has finally gone smaller — but not weaker. The BMW F 450 GS made waves at EICMA 2025 as a more accessible, lightweight adventure bike built with serious performance DNA.

Developed in collaboration with TVS Motor Company, the F 450 GS is expected to feature a 450cc single-cylinder engine fine-tuned for strong mid-range torque and everyday rideability. This machine aims to offer a balanced mix of power, agility, and comfort that makes it equally fun on city streets and mountain trails.

Expected Features

• Advanced rider-assist electronics

• Dual-channel ABS and selectable riding modes

• Lightweight chassis with long-travel suspension

• LED DRLs and high-intensity headlamp

• Bluetooth-enabled TFT display with navigation and trip stats

The F 450 GS is designed for riders who crave freedom without the heft of a liter-class bike. With BMW’s expanding network in Nepal, adventure riders can expect this mid-size GS to land in local showrooms by mid-2026, shortly after its India debut.

2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Nepal’s motorcycle market. The Hero XPulse 210 Dakar Edition is geared for hardcore off-road enthusiasts, while the BMW F 450 GS offers a global adventure experience in a compact form.

Both models signal a strong push toward performance, technology, and versatility — giving Nepalese riders more options to take on the open roads and rugged trails that define the country’s stunning landscape.
