Hero Genuine Rear Spoke Wheel Rim for Xpulse 200, Xpulse 200 FI, Xpulse 200 2V/4V, OBD-II & Xpulse 210 | Rim Only | 42701ABW100S

Hero Genuine Rear Spoke Wheel Rim for Xpulse – 42701ABW100S

Replace a bent, cracked, heavily corroded or structurally unserviceable rear rim with the Hero Genuine Rim, Rear Wheel, part number 42701ABW100S. This OEM spoke-wheel rim is used in compatible Hero Xpulse 200, Xpulse 200 FI, Xpulse 200 2V BS6, Xpulse 200 4V, Xpulse 200 OBD-II and Xpulse 210 rear-wheel assemblies.

The rear rim forms the outer structural section of the spoke wheel and supports the tyre, inner tube and rim flap. It must be correctly laced to the specified rear hub using the correct spoke-A and spoke-B pattern, centred to the required wheel offset, evenly tensioned and accurately trued before the tyre is installed.

This listing is for one bare rear wheel rim only. It is not the complete rear wheel, wheel sub-assembly, hub assembly or alloy wheel. The rear hub, spokes, nipples, sprocket, driven flange, cush-drive dampers, tyre, tube, rim flap, bearings, seals, axle, brake disc, ABS sensor ring and related hardware are separate components.

Compatibility Boundary

The Xpulse platform uses different sprockets, hubs, tubes, brake discs, ABS parts and wheel sub-assemblies across generations. The presence of the same rim part number does not mean the complete rear wheels are interchangeable.

The March 2025 Xpulse 210 catalogue retains 42701-ABW-100 as the rear rim and the familiar 36-spoke arrangement, while using revised ACY-series parts for the sprocket, hub sub-assembly, tube, rear brake disc, sensor ring and other surrounding components.

No automatic compatibility is claimed for:

• Hero Xpulse 200T
• Hero Xpulse 200 4V November 2024 unless its exact rear-wheel catalogue confirms this SKU
• Hero Xpulse 200 Dakar or Pro Dakar unless the catalogue specifies 42701-ABW-100
• Any tubeless conversion or aftermarket alloy-wheel setup
• Any motorcycle using another rear hub, spoke drilling pattern, wheel offset or rim part number

Fitment Note / Return Prevention Note

Before ordering, match the complete Hero part number 42701ABW100S or catalogue number 42701-ABW-100 with the motorcycle’s chassis/VIN-based rear-wheel catalogue and the specification stamped on the existing rim.

Confirm all of the following:

• Exact motorcycle model, variant and production generation
• Rear wheel position
• Spoke-wheel configuration
• Part number shown in the rear-wheel assembly diagram
• Existing rim diameter and stamped width
• Spoke-hole count, angle and drilling pattern
• Rear hub or hub sub-assembly part number
• Spoke-A, spoke-B and nipple part numbers
• Tyre, inner tube and rim-flap specification
• Rear brake-disc and ABS sensor-ring arrangement
• Required wheel offset relative to the hub
• Condition of the existing hub, spokes, bearings and driven flange

Do not order only by 18-inch wheel diameter. Two motorcycle rims can share the same nominal diameter while differing in rim width, spoke-hole angle, drilling pattern, nipple seat, offset, material, finish and hub compatibility.

Separately Catalogued Xpulse 200 Rear-Wheel Components

• 42601-ABW-100 — rear wheel hub on confirmed Xpulse 200 catalogues
• 42603-ABW-100 — rear spoke nipple, catalogue quantity 36
• 97660-ABW-100 — rear spoke A, catalogue quantity 18
• 97252-ABW-100 — rear spoke B, catalogue quantity 18
• 42711-ABW-103 — rear tyre reference on confirmed Xpulse 200 catalogues
• 42712-ABW-103099 / 42712-ABW-111 — rear inner-tube references
• 42713-ABW-100 — rear rim flap
• 42650-ABW-100 — rear wheel sub-assembly reference
• 42611-KRY-930 — final-driven flange
• 41241-KSP-900 — rear-wheel cush-drive damper, catalogue quantity 4

Important Xpulse 210 Difference

The Xpulse 210 March 2025 catalogue continues to use:

• 42701-ABW-100 — rear rim
• 42603-ABW-100 — rear spoke nipples, quantity 36
• 97660-ABW-100 — rear spoke A, quantity 18
• 97252-ABW-100 — rear spoke B, quantity 18
• 42713-ABW-100 — rear rim flap

However, it uses revised surrounding parts including an ACY-series sprocket, hub sub-assembly, inner tube, rear brake disc and ABS sensor ring. Therefore, do not transfer a complete Xpulse 200 rear-wheel parts list to the Xpulse 210.

Rear-wheel wobble, vibration or chain-alignment problems are not always caused by the rim. Possible causes also include uneven spoke tension, loose or bent spokes, hub damage, worn wheel or driven-flange bearings, bent axle, worn cush-drive dampers, sprocket or chain wear, tyre damage, incorrect tyre seating, brake-disc runout, swingarm alignment or balancing issues.

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

Technical Details

Installation Note

Spoke-wheel building is safety-critical and should be performed by a trained motorcycle wheel technician using the correct lacing pattern, wheel offset specification and truing stand.

Before Wheel Building

• Compare the new rim SKU with the old rim
• Compare the stamped rim diameter and width
• Inspect the rear hub for cracks, distortion and spoke-hole wear
• Inspect every spoke and nipple for corrosion, stretching, bending or thread damage
• Inspect the driven flange, cush-drive dampers and sprocket
• Check wheel and driven-flange bearings
• Inspect the axle, sleeve, collars, seals and O-rings
• Inspect the rear brake disc and ABS sensor ring
• Confirm the correct tyre, inner tube and rim flap

During Wheel Building

• Use the exact spoke-A and spoke-B lacing pattern
• Install every spoke in the correct hub and rim hole
• Engage nipple threads without cross-threading
• Centre the rim relative to the rear hub
• Maintain the specified wheel offset
• Tension spokes gradually and evenly
• Check lateral and radial runout on a truing stand
• Do not use uncontrolled hammering, welding or heat to force alignment
• Install a serviceable rim flap before fitting the tube
• Protect the new rim and tube from tyre-lever damage

After Assembly

• Balance the complete rear wheel
• Install the correct driven flange and cush-drive components
• Set rear-wheel and chain alignment correctly
• Adjust chain slack according to the motorcycle specification
• Tighten the rear axle and related fasteners to prescribed torque
• Confirm free wheel rotation
• Check rear brake-disc alignment
• Check ABS sensor-ring clearance
• Verify correct tyre seating
• Recheck spoke tension after the initial running period

Do not ride the motorcycle if the wheel has excessive runout, loose spokes, incorrect offset, abnormal tyre seating, brake drag or incorrect chain alignment.
