Hero Karizma XMR 250

The Karizma XMR 250 is an upcoming quarter-litre sportbike from Hero MotoCorp. The motorcycle will be based on the Hero 2.5R Xtunt Concept.

According to its design patents, the Hero Karizma XMR 250 will feature an all-new design with revised bodywork compared to the Karizma XMR 210. In fact, the design of the front fender, fuel tank, and the tail section will be identical to that of the stunt concept. That said, the headlight assembly and some of the cycle parts are identical to those of the Karizma XMR 210.

The Karizma XMR 250 will be powered by a 250cc, liquid-cooled engine, which was first seen on the 2.5R Xtunt Concept. While the output figures aren’t known yet, we can expect it to produce more power than the XMR 210, and on par with some of the 250cc bikes in the segment. The motor will be linked to a six-speed gearbox and an assist and slipper clutch.

Meanwhile, the engine will be nestled inside a tubular trellis frame, suspended by upside-down front forks and a monoshock at the back. The 17-inch wheels, tyres, and brakes are expected to be similar to those of the XMR 210. Hero is likely to showcase the Karizma XMR 250 at EICMA 2024, while the India launch could take place in early 2025.
