Meanwhile, the new Hero Karizma XMR will use the new 210cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder petrol engine. This engine will produce approx. 25hp of power and 30nm of torque. The motorcycle will be available with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The suspension setup will include telescopic front forks and a monoshock at the rear. Meanwhile, the braking duties will be handled by petal disc brakes at both the front and rear. Moreover, the Karizma XMR 210 will ride on sleek 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with road-oriented tyres.
Hero Karizma XMR: Pricing and Launch Timeline
Hero has revealed that they will launch the new Karizma XMR on the 29th of August 2023. However, the estimated price range for the Karizma XMR is around Rs. 2 lakhs Ex-showroom.
After the launch, the new Hero Karizma XMR will compete with the exceptional Yamaha YZF R15 and the hardcore KTM RC 200. If the motorcycle is priced aggressively, then this would become an affordable and attractive option for budget sports bike enthusiasts. However, Hero needs to work wonders with the dynamics and quality, as its biggest rivals R15 and RC200 are undisputed entry-level sports champions.
