As per the reporting source, the new Karizma will get radical changes. It will be based on a new platform as well. Also, Hero will equip it with a new 210cc liquid-cooled engine. This engine is destined to make a peak power of 25 bhp & a peak torque of 30 Nm. Additionally, a 6-speed gearbox with a suspected slipper-assist clutch shall also be fitted on it.

Other features like LED lights, a LED projector headlight, & alloy wheels will also find their way into it. Currently, there is no product from Hero that directly rivals the category contenders like Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 & Dominar 250. With the new Karizma, the fortunes of Hero might change.
Verdict
The Hero Xpulse 200 4V has proved to be a lifesaver for the company. Hence, Hero now wants to regain its pace in the mid-budget segment. What better option can be other than using the name of the iconic Karizma itself? The reintroduction of Karizma will be a big step for Hero in expanding ground in terms of sales. Anyways, we're expecting the launch of this new Karizma by the end of this year. Pricing can be somewhere between Rs 1.75 - 2 lakh.
