At a time when we thought the Karizma XMR 210 was discontinued, Hero MotoCorp has managed to catch us off-guard by launching an updated version of the entry-level sports bike. In the last four months, the homegrown bike manufacturer hadn’t dispatched a single unit of the Karizma.

In the latest iteration, the Karizma XMR 210 gets a few important features and mechanical upgrades over the outgoing model. The sports tourer is now available in three variants including Base, and the new Top and Combat variants. Prices for the 2025 Karizma 210 XMR starts from Rs 1.81 lakh and goes up to Rs 2.01 lakh (both ex-showroom).

That said, the biggest update in the 2025 Karizma XMR 210 is the golden-coloured upside-down front forks available in Top and Combat variants. The other big update is a new 4.2-inch fully-digital TFT instrument panel, an upgrade over the LCD unit offered in the Base variant. The updated instrument panel offers Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. The display also allows riders to check call and SMS alerts, vehicle battery status, and music control.
