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).
Variant | Price (ex-showroom, Delhi) |
Base | Rs 1,81,400 |
Top (New) | Rs 1,99,750 |
Combat Edition (New) | Rs 2,01,500 |
2025 Hero Karizma XMR 210: What’s new?
The Base variant is offered in three colours – Iconic Yellow, Turbo Red and Matte Phantom Black, while the Top variant is offered in Iconic Yellow, Turbo Red and Phantom Black. The Combat variant is offered exclusively with a Combat Grey shade which is a mixture of grey and black colourways with shades of yellow to lend it a sporty touch.

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.
2025 Hero Karizma XMR 210: Features & Specs
The updated Karizma continues to offer features such as full-LED lighting and USB charging port. Mechanically too, the Karizma ZMR remains unchanged drawing power from a 210 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine which makes 25.15 bhp at 9250 rpm and 20.4 Nm of peak torque at 7250 rpm. This motor is paired with a six-speed gearbox via a slip and assist clutch.

The company is also preparing to launch a more powerful Karizma XMR 250 later this year. This model broke cover at EICMA 2024 in November followed by the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.
