Hero MotoCorp plans slew of launches in the next 2 to 3 months

Hero MotoCorp has lined-up at least five new products for the Indian market, including a 125cc scooter.

Hero MotoCorp has planned a slew of product launches for the next 2-3 months. This includes major updates along with all-new models.

We've been told that the bike maker has lined-up at least five new products for the Indian market. These were recently showcased at the National Dealers Conclave held in Bangalore. The most anticipated of them all is the all-new Karizma XMR.

Hero is resurrecting the 'Karizma' brand with a new 210cc motorcycle. The new model is expected to draw inspiration from the original. Spy images have revealed a fully-faired bike with low-set handlebars and a short windscreen. It will feature an upside-down fork suspension at the front and a mono-shock at the rear.

The bike maker also plans to launch the Xtreme 160R. Test mules of this model have also been spotted. It is also expected to have upside-down forks for the first time.

In the commuter segment, we can expect the return of the Passion Plus. It could be powered by a frugal 100cc single-cylinder engine. Also on the cards, is the launch of the Hero Glamour.

Besides motorcycles, Hero MotoCorp is also planning to introduce a new 125cc scooter. The Xoom 125 will join its sister model, Xoom 110, which was launched in January this year. The latter is powered by a 110.9cc engine that makes 8.05 BHP and 8.70 Nm.
