Interestingly, this isn’t the first time it’s been spotted!
(Update: Hero MotoCorp has launched the all-new Karizma XMR! Check out the bike here)
Spy shots of the upcoming Karizma XMR 210 have once again surfaced on the internet. We say ‘once again’, because it turns out that the bike alongside the Xtreme 160R in yesterday’s spy shots was actually the Karizma XMR 210. In fact, this is the same bike that was spotted testing in Ladakh last year, alongside the XPulse 400. It only makes sense, given the bike was equipped with a telescopic fork and axial calipers.
As for the Karizma’s design language, it’s somewhat similar to the Kawasaki Ninja 400’s, with wide LED headlight, a chunky fuel tank, full fairing and raised clip-ons. The riding stance is slightly sporty yet fairly upright so expect the bike to be more of a sports tourer, like the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250, rather than a proper sportbike like the KTM RC 200. At its heart will be a 210cc liquid-cooled engine that should make around 25PS and 20Nm.
As you move to the rear, there’s a sharp tail section and slim LED indicators. Along with the telescopic fork, the rear uses a monoshock, and braking is via petal discs at both ends, with a radial caliper up front. The bike looks production-ready, so we expect it to be launched in July-2023, at a price of about Rs 1.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Its rivals, then, will be the Suzuki Gixxer 250, Bajaj Pulsar F250 and the Bajaj RS200.
