New Hero Karizma R and ZMR Silently Launched?

Hero MotoCorp seems to have silently launched the 2014 Karizma R and Karizma ZMR in India. Though, the company hasn't yet released any official statement on this, the first batch of the bikes have already reached Hero dealerships across the country and dealers have started taking orders.

The 2014 Karizma R and ZMR are priced at Rs. 83,158 and Rs. 1,04,986 (ex-showroom, Pune), respectively. Both the bikes were unveiled officially in October, last year.

The changes that the revised bikes have received include new twin headlamps, revised body panels, new tail lamps and a few more. Powering both the bikes is a 223cc, single-cylinder engine, but the ZMR has fuel injection instead of a carburettor. The engine too has been tuned for slightly more power. With the Karizma R, the engine belts out 19.2bhp and 19.35Nm, making the bike 2bhp and 1Nm more powerful, while in the case of ZMR, it does even better.
