Hero MotoCorp has released a teaser video on its social media handles, hinting at the imminent launch of a new product in our market. While the company has not revealed the name of this product, the creative indicates that this upcoming vehicle will be the new Karizma XMR 210 that was showcased to dealer partners in India earlier this year. A leaked picture from the same event revealed various details about the new Hero Karizma XMR 210, and here we tell you what to expect from this upcoming motorcycle.
What styling cues will the new Hero Karizma XMR 210 carry?
The leaked picture from the dealer conference has already revealed the design of the motorcycle, and this upcoming motorcycle will feature aggressive and sharp styling. It will boast a sharp design for the headlight, a layered fairing, a muscular fuel tank, a side-slung exhaust, 17-inch alloy wheels, and bold paint options. Further, the raised tail section, clip-on-style handlebar, and split seats enhance its visual appeal and sporty design, and it should appeal to young buyers.
What will be the mechanical specifications of the new Hero Karizma XMR 210?
The new Karizma XMR 210 will use a newly developed 210cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. The details about its output are not available yet. However, sources close to the developments have hinted that this motor will deliver a maximum power of 25bhp and come linked to a six-speed gearbox. Notably, this power output number is similar to that of the KTM RC200 and the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250.
What features will the new Hero Karizma XMR 210 get?
The feature list will be at par with the rivals, and the new Hero Karizma XMR 210 will come equipped with full-LED lighting and a Bluetooth-enabled, fully digital display. Hero MotoCorp will most likely add its new connectivity suite 2.0 to the upcoming Karizma XMR 210. This new system, which is already available on the Xtreme 160R 4V, uses an e-sim and works with a smartphone application to send out accident-related alerts, the location of the vehicle, turn-by-turn navigation, locate a dealer, book a service, or call roadside assistance. Meanwhile, the safety net will most likely comprise a dual-channel ABS and a side-stand engine cut-off function.
What hardware will the new Hero Karizma XMR 210 get?
Apart from the design, the leaked image from the dealer conference also revealed the hardware of the upcoming Karizma XMR 210. As seen in the photograph, the new Hero Karizma XMR 210 will use telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock to handle the shock absorption tasks. Then, the braking setup will include disc brakes on both wheels, while the safety net, as mentioned above, will most likely comprise a single-channel ABS.
What is the India launch date and expected price of the new Hero Karizma XMR 210?
As revealed in the teaser video, Hero MotoCorp will launch the new Karizma XMR 210 in India on 29 August, 2023. We expect this product to arrive near the Rs. 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom) price range. Once launched, the new Karizma XMR 210 will rival the likes of the Yamaha YZF-R15 V4, KTM RC200, Bajaj Pulsar RS200, and the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 in India.
