After disappearing from showrooms sometime back, the Hero Karizma is back as the Karizma XMR. It comes with many firsts from Hero MotoCorp and promises to be a strong contender in the segment

The charisma is back

Back in the day when the first generation Karizma was launched, it was nothing short of being a revolution. The sleek bodywork, comprehensive instrument panel, and the punch of the 225cc motor made sure that the brand was an instant success. Gradually times changed and so did the Karizma. But all of it somehow did not add up to the original! Eventually, the Karizma magic fizzled out. Come 2023, Hero has launched the Karizma again in an all-new avatar called the Hero Karizma XMR. So can the XMR rekindle the fire?

The XMR sure looks like a sleek sports tourer. Taking centre stage is the front fairing which looks well-integrated to the H-shaped LED headlamp unit. The LED DRL too looks fantastic on this motorcycle. The 17in alloys also gel well with the overall design of the bike. Hero has also loaded the XMR with a unique adjustable windscreen. The unit is mechanically operable and works with a certain degree of preciseness.

The 11 litre fuel tank is also well designed and fuses black panels to the overall body colour. Our bike in yellow and black looked so good. The twin-seat offers ample space for the rider and also for the pillion. The seat height at 810mm is also comfortable for most frames.
