Hero Karizma XMR production begins; deliveries this month

The Karizma XMR is priced at Rs 1.73 lakh (ex-showroom). It competes with the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250, Yamaha R15 V4 and Bajaj Pulsar RS200.

The first Karizma XMR has rolled out of the Hero MotoCorp factory. Deliveries will commence nationwide later this month.

The Karizma XMR is based on a new chassis, suspended by a conventional telescopic fork at the front and a 6-step adjustable mono-shock at the rear. Like its predecessor, the new Karizma XMR features a sport fairing, a stylish LED headlamp, an adjustable windscreen and a narrow tail section with a split seat.

The Karizma XMR is powered by a 210cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC engine that makes 25.15 BHP @ 9,250 rpm and 20.4 Nm @ 7,250 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a slip-and-assist clutch.

Braking is handled by a single petal-type disc at the front and a disc brake at the rear, supported by dual-channel ABS.

The Karizma XMR is priced at Rs 1.73 lakh (ex-showroom). It competes with the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250, Yamaha R15 V4 and Bajaj Pulsar RS200.
