EXCLUSIVE: Hero Karizma XMR 210 Frame Details Revealed
A design patent has also revealed more details about its switchgear and console
(Update: Hero MotoCorp has launched the all-new Karizma XMR! Check out the bike here)
After the design patent of a maxi-scooter last month, another patent of an upcoming Hero bike has surfaced online, and this time it seems that of the Karizma XMR 210. Now, while we’ve already seen test mules of the bike, through this design patent we’ve observed some key details about the bike’s frame, switchgear and console.
For starters, the bike gets a trellis frame! After the Dakar bike that was spotted in early 2020, this is only the second Hero bike to get a trellis frame. This should not only help in weight savings, but should also aid in giving the bike sporty handling.
Next is the console. The Karizma’s console housing looks quite big and the bike could very well get a large TFT. That’s further reinforced by its premium-looking switchgear. It has buttons above the indicator switch, likely for menu navigation.

That said, what’s surprising is that among all these sporty elements, Hero has thrown in a telescopic fork. Given that even the updated Xtreme 160R 4V gets an inverted fork, it’s funny that Hero didn’t give its most performance-oriented bike to-be one too. Even the swingarm is a box-section unit, which could ensure competitive pricing.
All in all, the design patent adopts quite a sporty stance overall and unlike the OG Karizma with bikini fairing, this is a fully faired one and looks quite sporty. That said, the raised clip-ons should give a riding posture that’s more like the likes of the Bajaj Pulsar F250 and the Pulsar RS200, than an outright supersport like the KTM RC 390.
Summing up, the upcoming Hero Karizma XMR 210 sounds quite promising. Expect it to debut in a couple of months at a price tag of around Rs 1.75 lakh ex-showroom. It’ll then go up against the Pulsar RS200, Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and the KTM RC 200.
Hero Karizma XMR User Reviews
- XMRRide The LegendBeast on highway in this segment. Smooth suspension. Overall, great pickup and performance, maintenance is very low, braking is also awesome. Also the handling of the bike is great as well as the grip on the road. Good looking, attention catching, stunning performance and low maintenance. Anywhere you go with this bike, everyone will notice it and many of them ask which bike is this. Pillion comfort is not so good. For a person who wants to be different from the crowded bikes in this segment and wants more performance. Also in this segment, in fully faired bikes, there are very less options like some of them have Plusar RS200, many of them have Yamaha R15 but rarely someone have this pure beast and monster Hero Karizma XMR Combat Edition.Read More
