Hero Karizma XMR Mileage

Karizma XMR is a nice bike. Happy with the engine performance & the mileage. Hero engineers have done a great job, they created good-looking and powerful machines. When I went to the road, got a good response from the viewers. The buying experience is decent. They provided good servicing and maintenance in the first service. Overall I'm happy with the Karizma XMR.

About the Reviewer

It took a long time to be delivered after it was launched. It gives a good initial punch and goes smoothly from 7000 RPM. But there are minor vibrations around 5000RPM. It has more of an upright posture so it is comfortable. Looks are decent. Build quality could have been better. The main problem is when the bike gets into a pothole the front part huts the mudguard due to suspension on the softer side. The paint quality of red and yellow is not up to the mark, it gets scratched easily if not taken care of. It looks premium in some aspects. So if you are looking for a comfortable bike with good power and ready to compromise on mileage then you can definitely go for it. It gives good competition in the sports tourer category. Hope the future updates on this bike will take it to another level.

1. It has a good initial punch
2. Goes smoothly from 7k-10k RPM
3. Has minor vibrations in handlebars at around 5000 Rpm
4. Comfortable seating posture for heights more than 5'7"
5. The suspension is on the softer side so the front headlight portion huts the mudguard if u go into a pothole
6. Paint quality sucks
7. Less mileage of 25-28 kmpl due to high power engine with DOHC
8. Decent looks and build quality
9. Manageable weight of 163kg
10. It has an automatic headlight sensor but we cannot control it manually
11. The pillion seat is decent but not very comfortable
12. It looks premium from a sideway view
13. Sometimes the gear gets stuck
Lastly, it is a good competitor in the sports tourer category, since it is a new engine that will have reliability issues. But if u want comfort and look, willing to compromise mileage or some minor defects then definitely go for it.

I didn't buy this bike but I have test-driven it and to be honest, while riding in CITY you will literally feel that punch and superiority over other same-segment bikes. Even while riding on highways it gives that adrenaline rush. This bike hasn't been serviced yet it gives 37 kmpl with such huge power figures and torque. I think its mileage may go up to 45kmpl if maintained properly which is astonishing for a 200cc bike. Overall this comes from one of the most reliable brands in India that is HERO so no need to worry about the after-sales and service which is pretty good.
Overall this bike is an allrounder itself.
