    Hero's Karizma XMR 210 is a gem Hero has manufactured. It's not a bike that checks marks in specific areas. It's a complete bike that tick-marks all the areas a bike needs to succeed.
    It is best in class in its performance, the looks and feel of the bike are just top-notch, and the power and torque are very nice. It comes with a bunch of features like Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, ride-by-wire, dual-channel ABS, liquid cool engine.
    The main highlight of the bike is its ease of riding. Unlike other bikes, the Karizma XMR is way too practical in day-to-day life. Be it a daily commute or a long ride, its riding posture will never make you feel dull or tired.
    My bike gives best-in-class mileage of close to 40 in city traffic whereas on highways it sometimes reaches close to 48-50 Kms.
    It has bare minimum vibrations in the city and on highways on higher RPM the bike is as smooth as butter.
    When you ride Karizma XMR 210 it just gives you joy and pleasure.

    I have gone through all the videos and reviews to buy this bike. After taking all the inputs and reviews I took it but trust me guys it's not so worth it. You don't feel like ur riding a 200cc bike. I feel Performance is lagging. If we talk about servicing, no one knows how to repair it. Unwanted engine noise.

  • An eye-catching bike with comfortable long rides

    12 weeks ago


    Sanil

    Fantastic bike for long rides, A mild acceleration will give you good mileage between 35-40, will not feel tidy after a long ride ( more than 100 km ). Now, after all these years the Karizma is back, and the thing about firsts is that you can never truly get them out of your head or heart. And as luck had it, we bumped into each other, though briefly, and the kid inside me was gleaming with joy.

    The bike is quite good. I use it for everyday daily purpose. Even also for touring, I had a few problems with the engine in the traffic I am it is just like stop and go maybe this is due to the high compression of the engine. Also in high rpm, it has a power loss when we ride it over and over again. Moreover, the bike is good and quite fast and it is quite worth the price.

  • Unleashing the Beast: A Comprehensive Review of the Karizma XMR

    19 weeks ago


    Senthil Rahavan

    I've had the pleasure of riding the Karizma XMR for the past few weeks, and it has been an exhilarating experience. Here’s my take on this sporty machine, covering its highs and lows.
    Performance
    The moment I twisted the throttle, the Karizma XMR's powerful engine impressed me. Acceleration is thrilling and effortlessly reaches high speeds, making it a joy to ride in city traffic and on highways. Thanks to its well-tuned suspension and lightweight frame, the bike's agile handling ensures a responsive and engaging ride.
    Design
    Visually, the Karizma XMR is a head-turner. The sharp lines and aggressive stance give it a modern, sporty look. I particularly love the LED headlamps and tail lamps, which enhance its aesthetic appeal and improve visibility. The fully digital instrument cluster is clear and intuitive, providing all necessary information at a glance.
    Comfort
    Comfort is a standout feature. The ergonomically designed seat and handlebar position make long rides much more bearable. The suspension does a great job of absorbing bumps, ensuring a smooth ride on rough roads. Whether navigating city traffic or cruising on the highway, the bike feels stable and composed.
    Features
    The Karizma XMR is packed with features. ABS provides a significant boost to safety, and various riding modes and connectivity features add convenience and customization. Plus, its fuel efficiency is a pleasant surprise, making it economical for daily use.
    Pros
    Powerful engine with smooth acceleration
    Striking design with modern LED lights
    Comfortable ergonomics for long rides
    Advanced features like ABS and riding modes
    Good fuel efficiency
    Cons
    Higher pricing compared to competitors
    Potential issues with spare part availability and cost
    Feels heavier at lower speeds
    Minor vibrations at higher RPMs
    Overall, the Karizma XMR blends performance, design, and modern features into a compelling package for sporty, practical riding.

  • The all in one 210 cc

    19 weeks ago


    Mithun R K

    Dropping in another review after riding it for 1500 kms.
    The bike feels a little stiff at lower gears, once you manage to get it to 4th gear or above it just glides on the road.
    You will feel very comfortable at higher speeds.
    There are slight vibrations but you don't have to fear about any body aches or discomfort even after a long ride.
    I have got a fuel efficiency of around 38-40 kmpl.
    The exhaust note is a treat to the eyes and the design even though it is not the best, is a crowd-puller.
    The only disadvantage I would like to highlight is the showroom experience. The hero should definitely improve it.

  • Live the Legend with Hero Karizma XMR: A New Era of Riding

    22 weeks ago


    Vikas Gupta

    For many who grew up in the 90s, the Hero Karizma was more than just a bike; it was a symbol of aspiration and freedom. The relaunch of the Karizma XMR has brought back not just a motorcycle, but a flood of memories and emotions for those who dreamed of riding one during their formative years.
    The Hero Karizma XMR is a bike that seeks to blend legacy with modernity, bringing forward a storied name in Indian motorcycling with contemporary updates that cater to today’s riders. Here’s an in-depth look at what the Karizma XMR offers and how it stacks up against the competition.
    The Hero Karizma XMR exudes a striking presence with its sleek and aggressive design. The sharp lines, sculpted fuel tank, and aerodynamic fairing give it a sporty look that is bound to turn heads. The dual-tone color schemes and LED lighting add a touch of modernity, making the bike visually appealing both day and night.
    At the heart of the Karizma XMR lies a robust 210cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that delivers a respectable power output. The engine is smooth and responsive, providing ample torque for city commuting and enough power for spirited highway rides. The bike boasts a well-tuned exhaust note that complements its sporty character.
    The Karizma XMR’s chassis is designed for agility and stability. The bike’s suspension setup, featuring telescopic front forks and a mono-shock rear, absorbs road imperfections effectively, offering a comfortable ride even on rough surfaces. The handling is precise, making it easy to maneuver through city traffic while also providing confidence during high-speed cornering.
    Hero has equipped the Karizma XMR with a host of modern features. The fully digital instrument cluster provides all necessary information at a glance, including speed, fuel level, trip details, and gear position. Additionally, the bike comes with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing riders to sync their smartphones for navigation and call alerts.
    Safety is a priority with the Karizma XMR. The bike features a disc brake setup at both the front and rear, coupled with a dual-channel ABS system. This ensures strong and predictable braking performance, enhancing rider confidence in various riding conditions.
    The Karizma XMR offers a rider-friendly ergonomics setup with a slightly leaned-forward stance that strikes a balance between sporty and comfortable. The seat is well-cushioned, providing good support for long rides, while the pillion seat is spacious enough to accommodate a passenger comfortably.
    In terms of fuel efficiency, the Karizma XMR performs admirably for its segment. It strikes a good balance between performance and economy, making it a practical choice for daily commuting as well as weekend getaways.
    The Hero Karizma XMR is a well-rounded motorcycle that successfully revives a legendary nameplate with modern enhancements. It offers a compelling mix of style, performance, and practicality, making it an attractive option for riders seeking a versatile sports bike. While it faces stiff competition in its segment, the Karizma XMR’s blend of legacy and contemporary features helps it stand out. For those looking to live the legend, the Hero Karizma XMR is certainly worth considering. It captures the essence of what made the Karizma legendary while meeting the expectations of today’s riders. Whether you’re reliving your youth or experiencing the legend for the first time, the Karizma XMR promises an emotional and exhilarating ride.
    While the Hero Karizma XMR brings a lot to the table, it’s essential to consider some of its drawbacks to provide a balanced view. Here are some cons of the Hero Karizma XMR:
    The Karizma XMR, with its premium features and legacy branding, comes at a higher price point compared to some of its competitors. This might deter budget-conscious buyers who are looking for more cost-effective options.
    With advanced features and technology, the maintenance costs for the Karizma XMR can be higher. Parts and servicing for premium bikes often come at a premium price, which could be a concern for long-term ownership.
    Weight:
    The Karizma XMR, like many sport-touring bikes, may have a higher weight compared to more lightweight commuter bikes. This can affect maneuverability in heavy traffic and may require more effort from the rider during city commutes.

  • Above the expectation.

    26 weeks ago


    Tarun Singh

    I love its handling, I'm an underweight boy and also feel confident while maneuvering in traffic with it, in the beginning its mileage was so bad but during my daily commute, it gave me mileage of 35-38 kmpl in the city plus highway. and yes, its a head-turner as well, if you are a KTM rider you may feel a lack of power but otherwise, it a very powerful engine & after 7000 rpm, the engine Suddenly comes alive and gives the adrenaline. About suspension, yes, it is telescopic not USD but when you ride this you don't feel a lack of USD. Its front suspension does its job even better than its rear mono shock. Rear mono shock also gives good comfort while riding only as well as with a pillion. The only problem I face or feedback from me is please give a better-finished product. From far it looks fabulous but when you give it attention you see some unwanted welding joints, low-quality paint and some uneven joints of the body. If the hero is really serious about Karizma then they have to take some serious steps for the workshop experience of Karizma owners.
    My personal view:- I'm fully satisfied with my bike. I seriously love it.

  • Perfectly crafted and designed headsoff to hero moto cop

    30 weeks ago


    Neeraj Verma

    Talking about the buying experience was not that good because after reaching the showroom, I didn't feel like l was buying a 2 lac motorbike but after buying and riding it seemed to be like a fully loaded engine a perfectly crafted and designed machine the throttle experience was amazing and speed and milage was also excellent as expected 210 cc engine and talking about the servicing and maintenance I got good feedbacks from the workers and showroom members. although the body is mainly fiber plastic the design works perfectly for the aerodynamics of the bike which makes it more faster than any other bike in the segment the only one cons of this bike is that you can feel some vibrations at the higher RPM's

  • Live the Legend with Hero Karizma XMR: A New Era of Riding

    22 weeks ago


    Vikas Gupta

    For many who grew up in the 90s, the Hero Karizma was more than just a bike; it was a symbol of aspiration and freedom. The relaunch of the Karizma XMR has brought back not just a motorcycle, but a flood of memories and emotions for those who dreamed of riding one during their formative years.
    The Hero Karizma XMR is a bike that seeks to blend legacy with modernity, bringing forward a storied name in Indian motorcycling with contemporary updates that cater to today’s riders. Here’s an in-depth look at what the Karizma XMR offers and how it stacks up against the competition.
    The Hero Karizma XMR exudes a striking presence with its sleek and aggressive design. The sharp lines, sculpted fuel tank, and aerodynamic fairing give it a sporty look that is bound to turn heads. The dual-tone color schemes and LED lighting add a touch of modernity, making the bike visually appealing both day and night.
    At the heart of the Karizma XMR lies a robust 210cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that delivers a respectable power output. The engine is smooth and responsive, providing ample torque for city commuting and enough power for spirited highway rides. The bike boasts a well-tuned exhaust note that complements its sporty character.
    The Karizma XMR’s chassis is designed for agility and stability. The bike’s suspension setup, featuring telescopic front forks and a mono-shock rear, absorbs road imperfections effectively, offering a comfortable ride even on rough surfaces. The handling is precise, making it easy to maneuver through city traffic while also providing confidence during high-speed cornering.
    Hero has equipped the Karizma XMR with a host of modern features. The fully digital instrument cluster provides all necessary information at a glance, including speed, fuel level, trip details, and gear position. Additionally, the bike comes with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing riders to sync their smartphones for navigation and call alerts.
    Safety is a priority with the Karizma XMR. The bike features a disc brake setup at both the front and rear, coupled with a dual-channel ABS system. This ensures strong and predictable braking performance, enhancing rider confidence in various riding conditions.
    The Karizma XMR offers a rider-friendly ergonomics setup with a slightly leaned-forward stance that strikes a balance between sporty and comfortable. The seat is well-cushioned, providing good support for long rides, while the pillion seat is spacious enough to accommodate a passenger comfortably.
    In terms of fuel efficiency, the Karizma XMR performs admirably for its segment. It strikes a good balance between performance and economy, making it a practical choice for daily commuting as well as weekend getaways.
    The Hero Karizma XMR is a well-rounded motorcycle that successfully revives a legendary nameplate with modern enhancements. It offers a compelling mix of style, performance, and practicality, making it an attractive option for riders seeking a versatile sports bike. While it faces stiff competition in its segment, the Karizma XMR’s blend of legacy and contemporary features helps it stand out. For those looking to live the legend, the Hero Karizma XMR is certainly worth considering. It captures the essence of what made the Karizma legendary while meeting the expectations of today’s riders. Whether you’re reliving your youth or experiencing the legend for the first time, the Karizma XMR promises an emotional and exhilarating ride.
    While the Hero Karizma XMR brings a lot to the table, it’s essential to consider some of its drawbacks to provide a balanced view. Here are some cons of the Hero Karizma XMR:
    The Karizma XMR, with its premium features and legacy branding, comes at a higher price point compared to some of its competitors. This might deter budget-conscious buyers who are looking for more cost-effective options.
    With advanced features and technology, the maintenance costs for the Karizma XMR can be higher. Parts and servicing for premium bikes often come at a premium price, which could be a concern for long-term ownership.
    Weight:
    The Karizma XMR, like many sport-touring bikes, may have a higher weight compared to more lightweight commuter bikes. This can affect maneuverability in heavy traffic and may require more effort from the rider during city commutes.

  • Above the expectation.

    26 weeks ago


    Tarun Singh

    I love its handling, I'm an underweight boy and also feel confident while maneuvering in traffic with it, in the beginning its mileage was so bad but during my daily commute, it gave me mileage of 35-38 kmpl in the city plus highway. and yes, its a head-turner as well, if you are a KTM rider you may feel a lack of power but otherwise, it a very powerful engine & after 7000 rpm, the engine Suddenly comes alive and gives the adrenaline. About suspension, yes, it is telescopic not USD but when you ride this you don't feel a lack of USD. Its front suspension does its job even better than its rear mono shock. Rear mono shock also gives good comfort while riding only as well as with a pillion. The only problem I face or feedback from me is please give a better-finished product. From far it looks fabulous but when you give it attention you see some unwanted welding joints, low-quality paint and some uneven joints of the body. If the hero is really serious about Karizma then they have to take some serious steps for the workshop experience of Karizma owners.
    My personal view:- I'm fully satisfied with my bike. I seriously love it.

  • Perfectly crafted and designed headsoff to hero moto cop

    30 weeks ago


    Neeraj Verma

    Talking about the buying experience was not that good because after reaching the showroom, I didn't feel like l was buying a 2 lac motorbike but after buying and riding it seemed to be like a fully loaded engine a perfectly crafted and designed machine the throttle experience was amazing and speed and milage was also excellent as expected 210 cc engine and talking about the servicing and maintenance I got good feedbacks from the workers and showroom members. although the body is mainly fiber plastic the design works perfectly for the aerodynamics of the bike which makes it more faster than any other bike in the segment the only one cons of this bike is that you can feel some vibrations at the higher RPM's

  • Complete All Rounder! One of the most attractive bike yet gives top notch performance.

    9 weeks ago


    Pramod Rawate

    Hero's Karizma XMR 210 is a gem Hero has manufactured. It's not a bike that checks marks in specific areas. It's a complete bike that tick-marks all the areas a bike needs to succeed.
    It is best in class in its performance, the looks and feel of the bike are just top-notch, and the power and torque are very nice. It comes with a bunch of features like Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, ride-by-wire, dual-channel ABS, liquid cool engine.
    The main highlight of the bike is its ease of riding. Unlike other bikes, the Karizma XMR is way too practical in day-to-day life. Be it a daily commute or a long ride, its riding posture will never make you feel dull or tired.
    My bike gives best-in-class mileage of close to 40 in city traffic whereas on highways it sometimes reaches close to 48-50 Kms.
    It has bare minimum vibrations in the city and on highways on higher RPM the bike is as smooth as butter.
    When you ride Karizma XMR 210 it just gives you joy and pleasure.

    I have gone through all the videos and reviews to buy this bike. After taking all the inputs and reviews I took it but trust me guys it's not so worth it. You don't feel like ur riding a 200cc bike. I feel Performance is lagging. If we talk about servicing, no one knows how to repair it. Unwanted engine noise.

  • An eye-catching bike with comfortable long rides

    12 weeks ago


    Sanil

    Fantastic bike for long rides, A mild acceleration will give you good mileage between 35-40, will not feel tidy after a long ride ( more than 100 km ). Now, after all these years the Karizma is back, and the thing about firsts is that you can never truly get them out of your head or heart. And as luck had it, we bumped into each other, though briefly, and the kid inside me was gleaming with joy.

    Tluanga

    The bike is quite good. I use it for everyday daily purpose. Even also for touring, I had a few problems with the engine in the traffic I am it is just like stop and go maybe this is due to the high compression of the engine. Also in high rpm, it has a power loss when we ride it over and over again. Moreover, the bike is good and quite fast and it is quite worth the price.

  • Unleashing the Beast: A Comprehensive Review of the Karizma XMR

    19 weeks ago


    Senthil Rahavan

    I've had the pleasure of riding the Karizma XMR for the past few weeks, and it has been an exhilarating experience. Here’s my take on this sporty machine, covering its highs and lows.
    Performance
    The moment I twisted the throttle, the Karizma XMR's powerful engine impressed me. Acceleration is thrilling and effortlessly reaches high speeds, making it a joy to ride in city traffic and on highways. Thanks to its well-tuned suspension and lightweight frame, the bike's agile handling ensures a responsive and engaging ride.
    Design
    Visually, the Karizma XMR is a head-turner. The sharp lines and aggressive stance give it a modern, sporty look. I particularly love the LED headlamps and tail lamps, which enhance its aesthetic appeal and improve visibility. The fully digital instrument cluster is clear and intuitive, providing all necessary information at a glance.
    Comfort
    Comfort is a standout feature. The ergonomically designed seat and handlebar position make long rides much more bearable. The suspension does a great job of absorbing bumps, ensuring a smooth ride on rough roads. Whether navigating city traffic or cruising on the highway, the bike feels stable and composed.
    Features
    The Karizma XMR is packed with features. ABS provides a significant boost to safety, and various riding modes and connectivity features add convenience and customization. Plus, its fuel efficiency is a pleasant surprise, making it economical for daily use.
    Pros
    Powerful engine with smooth acceleration
    Striking design with modern LED lights
    Comfortable ergonomics for long rides
    Advanced features like ABS and riding modes
    Good fuel efficiency
    Cons
    Higher pricing compared to competitors
    Potential issues with spare part availability and cost
    Feels heavier at lower speeds
    Minor vibrations at higher RPMs
    Overall, the Karizma XMR blends performance, design, and modern features into a compelling package for sporty, practical riding.

  • The all in one 210 cc

    19 weeks ago


    Mithun R K

    Dropping in another review after riding it for 1500 kms.
    The bike feels a little stiff at lower gears, once you manage to get it to 4th gear or above it just glides on the road.
    You will feel very comfortable at higher speeds.
    There are slight vibrations but you don't have to fear about any body aches or discomfort even after a long ride.
    I have got a fuel efficiency of around 38-40 kmpl.
    The exhaust note is a treat to the eyes and the design even though it is not the best, is a crowd-puller.
    The only disadvantage I would like to highlight is the showroom experience. The hero should definitely improve it.

    I have gone through all the videos and reviews to buy this bike. After taking all the inputs and reviews I took it but trust me guys it's not so worth it. You don't feel like ur riding a 200cc bike. I feel Performance is lagging. If we talk about servicing, no one knows how to repair it. Unwanted engine noise.

  • An eye-catching bike with comfortable long rides

    12 weeks ago


    Sanil

    Fantastic bike for long rides, A mild acceleration will give you good mileage between 35-40, will not feel tidy after a long ride ( more than 100 km ). Now, after all these years the Karizma is back, and the thing about firsts is that you can never truly get them out of your head or heart. And as luck had it, we bumped into each other, though briefly, and the kid inside me was gleaming with joy.

    The bike is quite good. I use it for everyday daily purpose. Even also for touring, I had a few problems with the engine in the traffic I am it is just like stop and go maybe this is due to the high compression of the engine. Also in high rpm, it has a power loss when we ride it over and over again. Moreover, the bike is good and quite fast and it is quite worth the price.

  • Unleashing the Beast: A Comprehensive Review of the Karizma XMR

    19 weeks ago


    Senthil Rahavan

    I've had the pleasure of riding the Karizma XMR for the past few weeks, and it has been an exhilarating experience. Here’s my take on this sporty machine, covering its highs and lows.
    Performance
    The moment I twisted the throttle, the Karizma XMR's powerful engine impressed me. Acceleration is thrilling and effortlessly reaches high speeds, making it a joy to ride in city traffic and on highways. Thanks to its well-tuned suspension and lightweight frame, the bike's agile handling ensures a responsive and engaging ride.
    Design
    Visually, the Karizma XMR is a head-turner. The sharp lines and aggressive stance give it a modern, sporty look. I particularly love the LED headlamps and tail lamps, which enhance its aesthetic appeal and improve visibility. The fully digital instrument cluster is clear and intuitive, providing all necessary information at a glance.
    Comfort
    Comfort is a standout feature. The ergonomically designed seat and handlebar position make long rides much more bearable. The suspension does a great job of absorbing bumps, ensuring a smooth ride on rough roads. Whether navigating city traffic or cruising on the highway, the bike feels stable and composed.
    Features
    The Karizma XMR is packed with features. ABS provides a significant boost to safety, and various riding modes and connectivity features add convenience and customization. Plus, its fuel efficiency is a pleasant surprise, making it economical for daily use.
    Pros
    Powerful engine with smooth acceleration
    Striking design with modern LED lights
    Comfortable ergonomics for long rides
    Advanced features like ABS and riding modes
    Good fuel efficiency
    Cons
    Higher pricing compared to competitors
    Potential issues with spare part availability and cost
    Feels heavier at lower speeds
    Minor vibrations at higher RPMs
    Overall, the Karizma XMR blends performance, design, and modern features into a compelling package for sporty, practical riding.

  • The all in one 210 cc

    19 weeks ago


    Mithun R K

    Dropping in another review after riding it for 1500 kms.
    The bike feels a little stiff at lower gears, once you manage to get it to 4th gear or above it just glides on the road.
    You will feel very comfortable at higher speeds.
    There are slight vibrations but you don't have to fear about any body aches or discomfort even after a long ride.
    I have got a fuel efficiency of around 38-40 kmpl.
    The exhaust note is a treat to the eyes and the design even though it is not the best, is a crowd-puller.
    The only disadvantage I would like to highlight is the showroom experience. The hero should definitely improve it.

  • Live the Legend with Hero Karizma XMR: A New Era of Riding

    22 weeks ago


    Vikas Gupta

    For many who grew up in the 90s, the Hero Karizma was more than just a bike; it was a symbol of aspiration and freedom. The relaunch of the Karizma XMR has brought back not just a motorcycle, but a flood of memories and emotions for those who dreamed of riding one during their formative years.
    The Hero Karizma XMR is a bike that seeks to blend legacy with modernity, bringing forward a storied name in Indian motorcycling with contemporary updates that cater to today’s riders. Here’s an in-depth look at what the Karizma XMR offers and how it stacks up against the competition.
    The Hero Karizma XMR exudes a striking presence with its sleek and aggressive design. The sharp lines, sculpted fuel tank, and aerodynamic fairing give it a sporty look that is bound to turn heads. The dual-tone color schemes and LED lighting add a touch of modernity, making the bike visually appealing both day and night.
    At the heart of the Karizma XMR lies a robust 210cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that delivers a respectable power output. The engine is smooth and responsive, providing ample torque for city commuting and enough power for spirited highway rides. The bike boasts a well-tuned exhaust note that complements its sporty character.
    The Karizma XMR’s chassis is designed for agility and stability. The bike’s suspension setup, featuring telescopic front forks and a mono-shock rear, absorbs road imperfections effectively, offering a comfortable ride even on rough surfaces. The handling is precise, making it easy to maneuver through city traffic while also providing confidence during high-speed cornering.
    Hero has equipped the Karizma XMR with a host of modern features. The fully digital instrument cluster provides all necessary information at a glance, including speed, fuel level, trip details, and gear position. Additionally, the bike comes with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing riders to sync their smartphones for navigation and call alerts.
    Safety is a priority with the Karizma XMR. The bike features a disc brake setup at both the front and rear, coupled with a dual-channel ABS system. This ensures strong and predictable braking performance, enhancing rider confidence in various riding conditions.
    The Karizma XMR offers a rider-friendly ergonomics setup with a slightly leaned-forward stance that strikes a balance between sporty and comfortable. The seat is well-cushioned, providing good support for long rides, while the pillion seat is spacious enough to accommodate a passenger comfortably.
    In terms of fuel efficiency, the Karizma XMR performs admirably for its segment. It strikes a good balance between performance and economy, making it a practical choice for daily commuting as well as weekend getaways.
    The Hero Karizma XMR is a well-rounded motorcycle that successfully revives a legendary nameplate with modern enhancements. It offers a compelling mix of style, performance, and practicality, making it an attractive option for riders seeking a versatile sports bike. While it faces stiff competition in its segment, the Karizma XMR’s blend of legacy and contemporary features helps it stand out. For those looking to live the legend, the Hero Karizma XMR is certainly worth considering. It captures the essence of what made the Karizma legendary while meeting the expectations of today’s riders. Whether you’re reliving your youth or experiencing the legend for the first time, the Karizma XMR promises an emotional and exhilarating ride.
    While the Hero Karizma XMR brings a lot to the table, it’s essential to consider some of its drawbacks to provide a balanced view. Here are some cons of the Hero Karizma XMR:
    The Karizma XMR, with its premium features and legacy branding, comes at a higher price point compared to some of its competitors. This might deter budget-conscious buyers who are looking for more cost-effective options.
    With advanced features and technology, the maintenance costs for the Karizma XMR can be higher. Parts and servicing for premium bikes often come at a premium price, which could be a concern for long-term ownership.
    Weight:
    The Karizma XMR, like many sport-touring bikes, may have a higher weight compared to more lightweight commuter bikes. This can affect maneuverability in heavy traffic and may require more effort from the rider during city commutes.

  • Above the expectation.

    26 weeks ago


    Tarun Singh

    I love its handling, I'm an underweight boy and also feel confident while maneuvering in traffic with it, in the beginning its mileage was so bad but during my daily commute, it gave me mileage of 35-38 kmpl in the city plus highway. and yes, its a head-turner as well, if you are a KTM rider you may feel a lack of power but otherwise, it a very powerful engine & after 7000 rpm, the engine Suddenly comes alive and gives the adrenaline. About suspension, yes, it is telescopic not USD but when you ride this you don't feel a lack of USD. Its front suspension does its job even better than its rear mono shock. Rear mono shock also gives good comfort while riding only as well as with a pillion. The only problem I face or feedback from me is please give a better-finished product. From far it looks fabulous but when you give it attention you see some unwanted welding joints, low-quality paint and some uneven joints of the body. If the hero is really serious about Karizma then they have to take some serious steps for the workshop experience of Karizma owners.
    My personal view:- I'm fully satisfied with my bike. I seriously love it.

  • Perfectly crafted and designed headsoff to hero moto cop

    30 weeks ago


    Neeraj Verma

    Talking about the buying experience was not that good because after reaching the showroom, I didn't feel like l was buying a 2 lac motorbike but after buying and riding it seemed to be like a fully loaded engine a perfectly crafted and designed machine the throttle experience was amazing and speed and milage was also excellent as expected 210 cc engine and talking about the servicing and maintenance I got good feedbacks from the workers and showroom members. although the body is mainly fiber plastic the design works perfectly for the aerodynamics of the bike which makes it more faster than any other bike in the segment the only one cons of this bike is that you can feel some vibrations at the higher RPM's
