Hero MotoCorp Karizma XMR Review : 7 Pros & 7 Cons

Hero MotoCorp clearly knows that just relying on the legendary status of this bike will not help in making it a success. Therefore, it has also brought in a lot of new technological improvements to attract the much better-informed buyers of 2023.

Massive brand recall as it was the first successful “sports bike” in India
Fantastic styling coupled with acceptable build quality
Value for money! We find the Karizma well-priced for what it offers
Powerful 210cc engine mated to smooth 6-speed gearbox with slip and & clutch
Comfortable seating for both rider and pillion
Hero MotoCorp’s widespread sales and service network
Features such as adjustable visor, automatic headlamps, slip & assist clutch, dual-channel ABS, turn-by-turn navigation, USB Charger etc.

Not as ground-breaking as the original Karizma. Might not live up to its legendary status
Market is dominated by competition. Hero needs to aggressively market this bike if they intend to get a breakthrough
Fairly neutral to ride. Not as exciting as some rivals
Small 11-litre fuel tank will limit touring range
Missing features such as riding modes, upside down fork, traction control etc.
Available in a single variant only and just 3 colours
6,000 km service interval is on the shorter side
