The moment many motorcyclists have been waiting for has finally arrived. Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer has taken the cover off the all-new Karizma marking the rebirth of the iconic motorcycle. Christened as Karizma XMR 210, the company has launched its flagship motorcycle at an introductory sticker price of Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom).Hero is offering the new Karizma XMR 210 with the choice of three colour options.
Hero has built the Karizma XMR 210 from the ground up, featuring an all-new chassis, a completely new design, and a newly developed powertrain, with the latest features. Starting with the design, the XMR 210 sports sharp lines with well-defined contours, highlighting the bike’s full fairing and proportions. The motorcycle looks contemporary, yet properly sporty. It features a muscular fuel tank, full LED lighting with LED DRLs, Bluetooth-enabled full digital instrumentation with segment-first turn-by-turn navigation updates, clip-on bars, adjustable windscreen, split seats, an upswept exhaust and tail section and some more.
The all-new chassis has been developed from the ground up featuring a steel trellis construction with the engine bolted to it as a stressed member. The motor powering the Karizma XMR 210 is Hero’s first liquid-cooled unit that comes with a 4-valve DOHC cylinder head design and is rated to produce 25.15 bhp at 9,250 rpm of max power and 20.4 Nm at 7,250 rpm of peak torque. The unit comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox assisted by a slipper clutch.
Coming to the cycle parts, the new Karizma XMR 210 rides on 17-inch wheels suspended by a telescopic fork setup up front and a six-step preload adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes at both ends, equipped with dual-channel ABS.
Bookings for the all-new Karizma XMR 210 have commenced. Interested buyers can book from 2:10 pm onwards from the company's official website. On the competition front, the motorcycle locks horns with the Bajaj Pulsar F250 and Pulsar RS 200 and also the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250.

The Hero Karizma XMR marks the return of a legendary name in Indian motorcycling. Launched in August 2023 and priced at ₹1.83 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Karizma XMR is a completely redesigned model, aiming to appeal to a new generation of riders while honoring its iconic legacy. It’s not just a cosmetic update; this version is built from the ground up with a new engine, frame, and design, making it a fresh offering in the 200 cc segment. Given the expectations set by the original Karizma, the XMR is tasked with re-establishing its name in an increasingly competitive market.
The design of the Karizma XMR is undoubtedly sporty and aggressive, reflecting a modern take on the classic Karizma look. It features sharp lines and creases, a muscular fuel tank, and full fairing, giving it a bold and eye-catching appearance. The split-seat design and upswept tail section further emphasize its sporty persona. Although equipped with clip-on handlebars, the riding posture is not too aggressive, making it comfortable for both daily commutes and weekend rides.
The LED headlights and well-placed body graphics enhance the premium feel of the bike, but certain elements, like the inconsistent panel gaps and frame welds, detract from its overall build quality. The bike runs on 17-inch alloy wheels, with tubeless tires, and features a 37 mm telescopic front fork and monoshock rear suspension. Overall, the Karizma XMR has an attractive and well-balanced design that will appeal to a wide range of riders
Pros
- Powerful 210 cc liquid-cooled engine with 25.15 bhp, offering smooth and refined performance
- Sporty design with full fairing, LED headlight, and adjustable windscreen
- Comfortable riding ergonomics, making it ideal for daily commutes and occasional touring
Cons
- Gear shifts could be more precise; feels spongy rather than a crisp “click”
- Some inconsistencies in frame welds and panel gaps, affecting overall build quality
- Strong competition from other bikes in the 200-250 cc segment offering similar performance
Verdict
The Hero Karizma XMR brings back a legendary name in Indian motorcycling with a modern twist, offering strong performance and a stylish design. Its refined engine, comfortable riding posture, and good handling make it an attractive option for both daily use and long rides. However, minor issues like gear shift precision and build quality keep it from being flawless. Priced competitively, the Karizma XMR is well-positioned in its segment, appealing to both new riders and those seeking a piece of nostalgia.

- Overall oky oky Bike4.0STD(Petrol)The Hero Karizma XMR is a good bike for those who love sporty rides. The engine performance is strong, and it offers good acceleration. However, the fuel efficiency isn’t great, especially in city traffic. The seating comfort is okay for short trips but can be a bit tiring for longer rides. The design is eye-catching, but I expected more modern tech features. Overall, it’s a fun bike, but with some trade-offs.By Nankau DesaiPosted on: Sep 27, 2024 11:28 AM00
