Hero Karizma XMR 210 - What It'll Look Like?
As visible in the design patent leak, the new Karizma will feature a fairing. The overall design of it'll be that of a sports tourer. However, Hero showed the bike to its dealers a few weeks ago. The leaked image from the dealer event showed a glimpse of its aggressive design. A small flyscreen, a sharp V-shaped LED headlight and an elongated side fairing will find its way on it. Meanwhile, the clip-on handlebars seem raised; helping in touring. There is also a big digital display visible in the design patent photo. We guess it'll be a TFT unit with the Xtec-connected features. The rear end design will feature an upright posture and a big mudguard with LED taillight & indicators.
As Hero seems very keen on reviving the Karizma brand, the XMR 210 will get some first-ever tech from Hero. For example, its chassis will be based on a trellis frame. Additionally, a brand new 210cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine will be equipped on it. This engine is suspected to make a peak power of 25 bhp & 22 Nm of peak torque. Hero MotoCorp will also offer a 6-speed gearbox on it, as we anticipate. On the hardware front, it'll get 17-inch alloy wheels, petal disc brakes, dual-channel ABS, telescopic front and a monoshock rear suspension. Its main rival upon the launch will include the Bajaj Pulsar RS200, KTM RC 200, & Yamaha R15 V4.
Verdict
Multiple test mules of the upcoming Karizma have been spied on till now. With the leak of design patent, it is confirmed that the new Karizma will be a proper sports tourer. However, ther're no details knwon from the manufacturer side on it. But, we anticipate that Hero might debut the new Karizma around the upcoming festive season in India. If so, it'll be priced around Rs 1.75 lakh.
