Hero Karizma XMR Entry Level Variant Discontinued

The Hero Karizma XMR is being offered with USD forks as well as a TFT display. The Karizma XMR was initially offered with telescopic forks which drew criticism from customers considering its closest rival, Yamaha R15 was being offered with USD forks from the base variant.

Additionally, discontinuing the base variant of the Hero Karizma XMR makes the 210cc bike more expensive. Earlier, the bike used to boast a starting ex-showroom price of Rs 1.81 lakh for the base variant.

The Top variant and combat variant are in essence the same bike with a unique colour option. The Hero Karizma XMR is powered by a 210cc four-stroke, four valve, single cylinder liquid-cooled, DOHC engine that puts out 25 bhp and 20.4 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox.
