I was randomly messing around with the configurator for the Hero Xpulse 210 and noticed something interesting...it clearly shows a centre stand.

Now, maybe I’m reading too much into it, but this doesn’t look like a random placeholder. It actually seems like Hero might be working on a proper centre stand, and the configurator hinted it.

What’s confusing me is the installation. The Xpulse 210 runs a linkage-type rear suspension, and from what I can see, space is already tight around the linkage rod, frame cross-member, and rear wheel path. Designing a centre stand here without:

🔸interfering with the suspension linkage

🔸fouling the tyre during compression

🔸or compromising ground clearance

…is not straightforward at all.

Either:

1. This is just a visual mock-up with no real-world feasibility, or

2. Hero has actually engineered a smart mounting solution that clears the linkage and maintains usable geometry.

If it’s the second case, that’s a big deal. A well-designed centre stand on this bike would be genuinely useful for chain maintenance, puncture repair and parking stability...something people have been asking for since day one.

I might be wrong here, but if this is intentional, it’s a pretty interesting hint.

And yeah, if they release it officially, that’s the first accessory I’m buying straight from the showroom.

Hey guys,

Not a fragrance addict or collector...just someone who likes to smell decent and stay covered for different seasons.

Felt like posting this mainly because the photos turned out nice 😅

The background is something I painted myself a few years ago, so thought I’d use it for once.

What I currently use:

Oud Regal: Opens strong with a typical woody-oud vibe, slightly synthetic at first but settles into something decent after a while. Good for winters.

Destiny: Fresh and easy from the start, nothing sharp or offensive...just a simple, everyday kind of scent. Works for all weather, but if you sweat a lot in summers, it can turn unpleasant after the initial punch.

Al-Naas Dunhill Desire (inspired): Starts off sweet and slightly fruity, comes across pleasant right away but lacks depth.

Vokka Arabian Stories: It opens with a warm, slightly sweet profile and a mild spicy edge. Interestingly, it smells very similar to the scent you get when unboxing a Motorola smartphone. It's clean, slightly synthetic, and “new.” Anyone into tech will probably appreciate that showroom-like vibe. The only downside is longevity...it doesn’t last.

This isn’t a “collection” in the enthusiast sense...just a small rotation that gets me through summers and winters without overthinking it.
