Hero Genuine Front Spoke Wheel Rim for Xpulse 200, Xpulse 200 FI, Xpulse 200 2V BS6, Xpulse 200 4V & OBD-II | Rim Only | 44701ABW100S

Hero Genuine Front Spoke Wheel Rim for Xpulse 200 – 44701ABW100S

Replace a bent, cracked, heavily corroded or unserviceable front rim with the Hero Genuine Rim, Front Wheel, part number 44701ABW100S. This OEM spoke-wheel rim is used in the front wheel assembly of compatible Hero Xpulse 200, Xpulse 200 FI, Xpulse 200 2V BS6, Xpulse 200 4V and Xpulse 200 OBD-II motorcycles.

The rim forms the outer structural section of the spoke wheel and supports the front tyre, tube and rim flap. It must be correctly laced to the specified front hub using the correct spoke pattern, then centred and trued before the tyre is installed. Correct wheel building is essential for stable steering, controlled braking, tyre seating and long-term spoke-wheel reliability.

This listing is for one bare front wheel rim only. It is not the complete front wheel, wheel sub-assembly or alloy wheel. The hub, spokes, nipples, tyre, tube, flap, bearings, seals, axle, brake disc, ABS sensor ring and wheel-speed sensor are separate parts.

Compatibility boundary: The Xpulse family includes different wheel, suspension and braking specifications across generations and markets. Order only when the motorcycle’s front-wheel catalogue specifies 44701-ABW-100.

No automatic compatibility is claimed for:

• Hero Xpulse 200T

• Hero Xpulse 200 4V Dakar Edition
• Hero Xpulse 200 Pro or Pro Dakar unless the exact catalogue confirms this rim

Fitment Note / Return Prevention Note

Before ordering, match the complete Hero part number 44701ABW100S or catalogue number 44701-ABW-100 with the motorcycle’s chassis/VIN-based front-wheel catalogue and existing rim.

Confirm all of the following:

• Exact motorcycle model, variant and production generation
• Front wheel position
• Spoke-wheel configuration
• Part number shown in the front-wheel diagram
• Existing rim diameter and stamped specification
• Spoke-hole count, angle and drilling pattern
• Front hub and spoke-set part numbers
• Tyre, tube and rim-flap specification
• Brake-disc and ABS sensor-ring arrangement
• Whether the old hub, spokes and bearings remain serviceable

Do not order only by wheel diameter. Two rims can both be described as 21-inch motorcycle rims but still differ in width, spoke-hole angle, drilling pattern, nipple seat, offset, finish and hub compatibility.

Confirmed early Xpulse 200 front-wheel catalogues list the following as separate components around this rim:

• 44601-ABW-100 — front wheel hub
• 44603-ABW-100 — front spoke nipples, catalogue quantity 36
• 97550-ABW-100 — front spoke A, catalogue quantity 18
• 97278-ABW-100 — front spoke B, catalogue quantity 18
• 44711-ABW-103 — front tyre reference on early catalogues
• 44712-series — front tyre tube
• 44713-ABW-100 — front rim flap
• 44650-ABW-100 — front wheel sub-assembly reference

Part numbers can be revised or superseded between generations. Use the exact motorcycle catalogue before ordering any related component.

A front-wheel wobble or steering vibration is not always caused by the rim. Possible causes also include incorrect spoke tension, loose spokes, damaged hub, worn wheel bearings, bent axle, damaged tyre, incorrect tyre seating, fork misalignment, brake-disc runout, steering-bearing wear or wheel-balancing issues.

Wheel-component return protection: Confirm the exact SKU before lacing or installing. A rim showing spoke-nipple marks, tyre-lever marks, truing marks, scratches, bending, drilling, grinding, paint alteration or road use cannot be treated as an unused return.

Technical Details

Installation Note

Spoke-wheel assembly is safety-critical and should be performed by a trained motorcycle wheel technician using a wheel-truing stand and the correct spoke pattern.

Before assembly:

• Compare the old and new rim part numbers and stamped dimensions
• Inspect the front hub for cracks, distortion and spoke-hole wear
• Inspect every spoke and nipple for corrosion, stretching, thread damage or bending
• Replace damaged spokes and nipples rather than mixing them into the rebuilt wheel
• Inspect wheel bearings, seals, axle and collars
• Inspect the brake disc and ABS sensor ring
• Confirm the correct tyre, tube and rim flap

During wheel building:

• Use the exact spoke-A and spoke-B lacing pattern
• Engage nipple threads correctly without cross-threading
• Centre the rim relative to the hub with the specified wheel offset
• Tension spokes gradually and evenly
• Check radial and lateral runout on a truing stand
• Do not use heat, hammering or uncontrolled bending to force alignment
• Install a serviceable rim flap before the tube and tyre
• Avoid tyre-lever damage to the new rim finish and tube

After installation, balance the complete wheel, tighten the front axle and related fasteners to the motorcycle’s service specifications, verify free wheel rotation, check brake-disc and ABS alignment, and recheck spoke tension after the initial running period.

Buyer-Focused FAQs

1. What is Hero part number 44701ABW100S?
It is the Hero Genuine bare front spoke-wheel rim used in compatible Xpulse 200 front-wheel assemblies.

2. Is this the complete front wheel?
No. This listing is for the rim only. It does not include the hub, spokes, tyre, tube, bearings, brake disc or ABS components.

3. Is the front wheel hub included?
No. The hub is a separate component. Early Xpulse 200 catalogues list front hub number 44601-ABW-100.

4. Are spokes and nipples included?
No. Confirmed catalogues use 36 spokes/nipples arranged as 18 spoke-A and 18 spoke-B pieces, but these are sold separately.

5. Is the tyre included?
No. The front tyre is separate. Confirmed Xpulse 200 specifications use a 90/90-21 front tyre.

6. Is the inner tube included?
No. The tube and rim flap are separate components.

7. Is this a tubeless rim?
No tubeless claim is made. Confirmed Xpulse front-wheel catalogues list a separate tube and rim flap for this spoke-wheel arrangement.

8. Is this a 21-inch front rim?
It is used in the Xpulse 200 21-inch front-wheel application. The exact rim-width stamping must still be matched with the original rim.

9. Does it fit Hero Xpulse 200 May 2019?
Yes. Xpulse 200 May 2019 is an exact catalogue-confirmed application.

10. Does it fit Hero Xpulse 200 FI?
Yes. Xpulse 200 FI May 2019 is an exact confirmed application.

11. Does it fit Hero Xpulse 200 2V BS6?
Yes. Xpulse 200 2V BSVI June 2020 is an exact catalogue-confirmed application.

12. Does it fit Hero Xpulse 200 4V?

14. Does it fit the November 2024 Xpulse 200 4V or Dakar Edition?
No automatic compatibility is claimed in this listing. Match the later motorcycle’s exact front-wheel catalogue before ordering.

15. Does it fit Hero Xpulse 200T?
No compatibility is claimed without an exact parts-catalogue match. The Xpulse 200T can use a different wheel configuration.

16. Does it fit Hero Xpulse 210?
No. The Xpulse 210 is a different platform and must use its own catalogued wheel components.

17. Does it fit Xtreme 125R or another Hero motorcycle?
No universal compatibility is claimed. Match the exact part number, rim dimensions, hub and spoke pattern.

18. Is the brake disc included?
No. The front brake disc and its mounting bolts are separate.

19. Is the ABS sensor ring included?
No. The ABS sensor ring and front wheel-speed sensor are separate components.

20. Are wheel bearings included?
No. Bearings and seals are separate and should be inspected during wheel rebuilding.

21. Can the rim be installed without wheel truing?
No. A spoke rim must be correctly laced, centred, tensioned and trued before the tyre is installed and the motorcycle is ridden.

22. Can old spokes be reused?
Only after professional inspection. Corroded, stretched, bent or thread-damaged spokes and nipples should be replaced.

23. Will replacing the rim fix front-wheel wobble?
Only when the rim is the confirmed cause. Tyre condition, spoke tension, hub, bearings, axle, forks, steering bearings and wheel balance must also be checked.

24. Can a bent rim be repaired instead of replaced?
A qualified wheel technician must inspect the damage. A cracked, severely bent, heavily corroded or structurally weakened rim should not be reused.

25. Is professional installation necessary?
Yes. Incorrect spoke lacing, offset, tension or wheel runout can affect steering, braking and rider safety.

26. How can I prevent ordering the wrong rim?
Match the complete SKU, exact model and generation, original rim stamping, spoke-hole pattern, front hub, wheel diameter and chassis/VIN-based Hero catalogue.
