Hero Karizma XMR 210 spotted ahead of launch while testing in India

Hero Moto Corp is all set to launch its upcoming sports bike Karizma XMR and XMR 210 in India. The company is currently testing the Karizma XMR 210 in India and the same has been spotted while testing. Initially spotted by MotorBeam, the upcoming XMR 210 motorcycle seem to get a overall new design and is expected to be a sports tourer rather than an aggressive sports bike.

The Hero Karizma XMR 210 was spotted with camouflage all over it and nothing much specific about its design or graphics counld be seen. However, the shape of the motorcycle shows its similarity with the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250. However, unlike the Gixxer, therear tyre of the motorcycle seems to be less wide. The full fairing of the motorcycle is visible from the sides and we can easily say that it is not like Karizma ZMR is any way.

It can be observed that the rider is sitting low but the footpegs are not set too far back. The handlebars are also not set far back. This makes the riding posture not so aggressive. It seems that the motorcycle has a muscular fuel tank, angular windscreen and the rearview mirrors are mounted on the head assembly. The seats of the motorcycle are split seats and the tail section is narrow and raised. Other important visible features include compact LED indicators at front and rear, split grab rails, dual disc brakes along with dual channel ABS etc. The rear suspension is monoshock while the front suspension is telescopic.

Various reports have claimed that the bike will be powered by a 210cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. The output of the engine is expected to 25bhp and 30 Nm. The engine will be paired with a six-speed gearbox.

The release of the motorcycle is expected to be in 2024 and it will compete against the likes of the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 and KTM RC 200.
