The much-awaited Hero Karizma XMR 210 will debut in the Indian market soon and the latest spy images reveal a fresh set of details about the motorcycle
Hero Motocorp is steadily expanding its premium motorcycle range in the Indian market. This is quite evident by the latest launch from India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, the 2023 Xtreme 160R 4V which gets an updated more powerful engine along with USD forks at a starting price of Rs. 1.27 lakh (ex-showroom). The company will also revive the popular Karizma nameplate by launching the all-new Karizma XMR 210 in the domestic market.
While we have already spotted the fully faired motorcycle many times, the latest spy images reveal some fresh details and we already know that Hero has trademarked two names, the Karizma XMR and Karizma XMR 210. Talking about the latest images, the bike looks similar to what we saw in the pictures from Hero’s dealership event, thus confirming that the bike will debut sooner than expected.
The upcoming Karizma XMR 210 looks quite muscular and the strong lines are clearly visible despite the heavy camouflage. The heavy fairing at the front surrounds the sleek headlight, likely to be an LED unit and the windscreen seems to be adequately tall.
The handlebar seems to be a clip-on unit and is raised for an upright riding stance. Towards the sides, it gets minimalistic bodywork, a split seat setup and a beefy exhaust. The bike misses out on USD front forks and gets a regular box-section swing arm, which hints at its aggressive price point.
The powerhouse of the Karizma XMR 210 will be a brand new 210cc single cylinder liquid cooled engine, a first for Hero MotoCorp. It will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox and the Karizma XMR 210 will be the first motorcycle in the brand’s line-up to get it. As per the latest speculation, the power output will be around 25 bhp and 30 Nm of peak torque.
In terms of equipment, an all-LED lighting setup, standard dual-channel ABS and smartphone connectivity features will likely be a part of the package. The pricing of the Hero’s upcoming flagship bike will likely be around Rs. 2 lakh (ex-showroom) ballpark.
