-Launch likely in mid-May or early June

The launch of the Hero Karizma XMR 250 is just around the corner. Word is that Hero is planning to ride the momentum of its new launches, the Xtreme 250R and the Xpulse 210, with the introduction of the Karizma XMR 250.
The new Hero Karizma was showcased at the EICMA 2024 and we saw a sharp-looking, nicely styled motorcycle. It appears to be a slightly tweaked version of the Karizma 210 but what adds to the visual appeal is the white and red colors on the bike.
Powering the bike is a 250cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 30bhp and 25Nm. It is linked to a six-speed gearbox.This is the same unit as seen in the new Xtreme 250R. On the features front, the Hero Karizma XMR 250 gets full LED illumination, a TFT, dual-channel ABS, and an integrated starter switch.
Under the bodywork, there is a steel frame that is suspended by a USD fork and monoshock. The bike rides on 17-inch wheels that are shod with tubeless tyres. Braking, meanwhile, is taken care of by a disc brake at the front and rear.
Once launched, the bike will go up against the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250.
