I have been experiencing engine heating issues with my bike. This problem occurs every time my bike stands in the rain for 3-4 hours, making it difficult to start for about 15 days afterwards. The engine heats up significantly after running just 5-6 kilometres, causing the bike to automatically stop. I have to wait 15-20 minutes before I can start it again. Please address this problem, as I am feeling frustrated with my purchase.

The Hero XMR is a remarkable addition to Hero MotoCorp's lineup, offering a perfect blend of performance, practicality, and modern technology. As a commuter bike, it excels in multiple areas, making it a worthy choice for both daily riders and occasional long-distance travelers. The XMR stands out with its sporty yet elegant design, making it an instant head-turner on the road. The aerodynamic body, sleek curves, and vibrant color options cater to modern aesthetics, while the build quality feels robust and durable, reflecting Hero’s commitment to reliability.

My new bike Xmr 210 not working properly.
The authorized service centre not giving a proper answer.
In the last six months, my bike stopped on the highway around 15 times.
Please don’t purchase Xmr 210, The Servicing charge is also very high.
Worst bike ever.
I feel very guilty for purchasing this bike.
Don’t waste your valuable money on this bike.

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

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
19 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
26 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

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
29 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.

Complete All Rounder! One of the most attractive bike yet gives top notch performance.
16 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
19 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
26 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
26 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
29 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.

As a commuter bike, it excels in multiple areas, making it a worthy choice for both daily riders and occasional long-distance travelers. The XMR stands out with its sporty yet elegant design, making it an instant head-turner on the road.

My new bike Xmr 210 not working properly.
The authorized service centre not giving a proper answer.
In the last six months, my bike stopped on the highway around 15 times.
Please don’t purchase Xmr 210, The Servicing charge is also very high.
Worst bike ever.
I feel very guilty for purchasing this bike.
Don’t waste your valuable money on this bike.
