At the prestigious EICMA 2024 show, Hero MotoCorp showcased the latest version of its iconic Karizma XMR, featuring significant updates aimed at enhancing its premium appeal.

Hero Karizma XMR Unveiled
New Suspension and Refined Aesthetics
One of the standout upgrades on the 2025 Karizma XMR is its golden-finished upside-down (USD) front fork. This new suspension setup is not only visually striking but also improves handling and stability, especially at high speeds. Complementing this is a refined grey paint scheme, adding sophistication to the bike’s look.
Introduction of a Full-Colour TFT Display
The Karizma XMR now comes with a full-colour TFT instrument cluster, replacing the previous LCD screen. This upgrade, also featured on Hero’s new Xpulse 210, brings a high-end feel to the cockpit, enhancing readability and functionality. The TFT screen adds a modern touch that aligns with the bike’s sporty appeal.
Engine Specifications Remain Unchanged
Despite the upgrades, Hero MotoCorp has not indicated any mechanical changes to the engine. The updated Karizma XMR continues with its 210cc liquid-cooled engine, delivering 25.5 hp at 9,250 rpm and 20.4 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm, paired with a smooth six-speed gearbox. While the mechanicals are largely unchanged, the new features undoubtedly elevate the overall riding experience.
Expected Price and Launch Date of Hero Karizma XMR
Hero MotoCorp has not yet announced a launch date or pricing details for the updated Karizma XMR in India. However, given the new premium features, a slight price increase over the current model’s Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) is anticipated.
Conclusion
With these updates, the Hero Karizma XMR at EICMA 2024 represents a blend of style and enhanced functionality. Stay tuned for more updates as Hero prepares to bring this refined model to Indian roads.
