Hero MotoCorp At EICMA
The Indian two-wheeler manufacturer has previously showcased a wide range of products at the EICMA 2023, such as the Xoom 160, Xoom 125, the Concept 2.5R Xtunt, along with a few other things from the Vida range. However, these products are yet to be seen on the road as of now.
For this year, Hero has planned four new products to be showcased. Details are obviously scarce at the moment, and the teaser post only showcases a tiny glimpse at the silhouettes. However, given the recent happenings, a bigger Xpulse is highly likely to be shown. The new Xpulse is likely to be based on the current Karizma XMR's platform, featuring the same 210cc, liquid-cooled engine in a different state of tune.
The next possibility appears to be a 250cc Karizma. According to reports, leaked patent images of the 250cc Karizma are doing the rounds on the web, and it seems to get more aggressive styling than the current Karizma XMR. The 250cc Karizma could also be underpinned by a completely new frame suspended on USD forks and a monoshock.
It is quite difficult to say what the other next two products could be, especially that at least one of them is will be an electric two-wheeler from Vida. The Vida V1 has been on sale for quite a while, and it is quite possible that Vida may introduce an electric motorcycle at the EICMA.
However, Hero will spill out all the finer details when the EICMA goes underway from November 5-10, 2024.

Verdict
While it is nice that Hero has more products to showcase at the upcoming EICMA, previously shown products like the Xoom 160, Xoom 125, and the production-version of the Concept 2.5R Xtunt are yet to be launched. It is important that the bikemaker follows up such interesting showcases and brings them out on the road as well.
