The New Hero Karizma ZMR 2013
We have come across more than half a dozen news pics of the ZMR 2013 and here, you will find all the details and pics of the updated bike.
As can be seen in the images above, the new Hero Karizma ZMR 2013 boasts of a twin projector headlamp setup. The quarter version of this fairing will be found on the ZMA-R.
The front fairing also houses somewhat large trafficators. The front mudguard seems to have been carried over from the earlier bike.
The new ZMR sports a somewhat rakish tail end, which will be shared with the ZMA-R. Also, the ZMR gets split seats and new grab-rails too. The bike will come with a new rear registration plate bracket, which reminds us of that on the R15 V2.0.
The ZMR will continue to sport the same instrument console that is found in the pre-facelift ZMR. This speedo console seems to have been inspired from that of the Honda VFR and looks pretty cool.
Hero Motocorp has said that the new ZMR 2013 would get a more powerful engine that would be the first mass-production motor from the recently formed technical partnership with Erik Buell Racing (EBR).
Talking about the engine, Mr. Munjal has said, “There is a lot of innovation happening in our own R&D and we will bring it to the market through some of the products we will launch. We have applied for patents for those innovations. This is showcasing our capability. We will be launching the new Karizma variants which are redesigned and the engine made more powerful with our partner EBR. This is the first commercial production model in which they have played a big part in development.”
Visually, the new ZMR is almost completely different than the current model and a more powerful motor would mean that the bike would make life tougher for Pulsar 200NS and the likes.
However, the suspension and wheels have been carried over from the last gen model and this means that the Hero flagship would remain deprived of a rear monoshock for at least sometime to come.
It would be interesting to see if these updates would be sufficient to propel the ZMR to the top of its segment.
