Hero Karizma XMR Gets an Rs. 7,000 Price Bump - Xtreme, XPulse, And More To Follow Suit

In response to this price change, Hero stated that the degree of the increase will vary depending on the specific model and different markets.

This move coincides with the approaching festive season, a period when sales traditionally surge. It's a strategy employed by many brands to boost their revenue, which can significantly impact their overall sales figures. However, it's worth noting that many motorcycle and scooter brands often opt for alternative incentives like complimentary insurance, extended warranties, and enhanced after-sales services to attract buyers during this season.
Hero Karizma XMR: Powertrain And Rivals
The all-new Karizma XMR boasts an impressive 210cc engine with four valves, liquid cooling (a first for Hero bikes), and a DOHC setup. This powerhouse generates a remarkable 25 bhp at 9,250rpm and 20.4Nm of torque at 7,250rpm. What's exciting is that this makes the Karizma XMR even more potent than the KTM RC 200 and the Bajaj Pulsar RS200! To complement its power, it's fitted with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper and assist clutch.
The all-new Hero Karizma XMR is gearing up to compete with some formidable rivals, including the TVS Apache RTR 310, Bajaj Pulsar RS200, and the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250. And for those seeking a sportier alternative, the KTM RC 200 is also in the mix.
