Shown at the EICMA show, Hero is now readying the more potent Karizma XMR 250 for launch in India. Having had recent launches, the new XMR 250 will have a 250cc single cylinder engine which would develop 30bhp and 25Nm.

With a six-speed gearbox, this is essentially the same unit found on the new Xtreme 250R. Design wise, it is quite an aggressive looking design with a split LED headlamp, winglets and more.

The powertrain comes from the new Karizma and it will do 0-60 km/h in 3.25 seconds. The fully faired design is lending it a sporty look while how much it will remain a comfortable bike for daily use remains to be seen.

In terms of the competition, the main rival for the Karizma XMR 250 would be the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250. The launch for this sporty motorcycle would be at the end of May or early June.

Compared to the Karizma XMR 210, this is a more powerful motorcycle with added power as well as torque. The styling is also different with some changes while the addition of a lap timer hints at the fact that this would be a track focussed bike too.

Pricing is a crucial factor while here we expect a price starting from Rs 2 lakh for the XMR 250. Stay tuned for more as we will soon get you more details regarding this motorcycle. Also the 210 could be discontinued in favour of this new motorcycle in the future.
