August 2023 is set to be an exhilarating month for motorcycle enthusiasts as two iconic bikes are making their grand comeback in all-new avatars. Hero MotoCorp is resurrecting the Karizma brand, while Royal Enfield is introducing the new-generation Bullet 350. Both motorcycles are scheduled to go on sale in the first week of August, with the Hero Karizma XMR 210 hitting the market on the 29th and the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 on the 30th.
Let’s take a closer look at the specifications, features, design, and expected price of the new Hero Karizma XMR 210:
New Hero Karizma XMR Specs
The 2023 Hero Karizma is expected to be powered by an all-new 210cc engine mated to a 6-speed gearbox. This motor is anticipated to deliver a peak power of 25bhp and 30Nm of torque. The bike might come equipped with telescopic front forks and a monoshock suspension at the rear. Additionally, a dual-channel ABS system is likely to be offered as standard.
New Hero Karizma XMR Features and Design
The new Karizma is expected to sport a fully digital instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and a real-time fuel efficiency indicator. Upfront, the bike will have an aggressive fairing extending towards the headlight. Other design highlights include chiselled panels, a sculpted fuel tank, raised handlebars, blacked-out alloy wheels, LED headlamp and taillamp, and an upswept exhaust.
New Hero Karizma XMR Expected Price
The all-new Karizma is anticipated to be the most expensive bike from Hero MotoCorp, with an expected price range of around Rs 1.50 lakh to Rs 1.80 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). It will be sold through Hero’s premium dealerships, alongside the new Harley-Davidson X440. Once launched, the new Karizma XMR 210 will directly compete with the likes of the Yamaha R15 V4, KTM RC 200, and Bajaj RS200.
