Xpulse 210
The anticipation for Hero MotoCorp’s unveiling at EICMA 2024 is palpable. The motorcycle, aptly named ‘Anytime, Anywhere,’ is crafted for adventure and sports a minimalist design reminiscent of the Xpulse 200. It comes equipped with top-tier off-road hardware, including a fully adjustable suspension system at both the front and rear.
The Karizma XMR 210, with its 210cc engine, can generate an estimated 25 PS of peak power and 20.7 Nm of peak torque. The integration of a 6-speed gearbox elevates the Xpulse platform by providing enhanced high-speed touring capabilities not present in the Xpulse 200 4V. Moreover, it features advanced technology and additional features that are sure to appeal to its target audience.
Xtreme 250R
Hero MotoCorp has recently unveiled its flagship Xtreme 250R streetfighter motorcycle, marking the company’s significant entry into the quarter-liter segment. The bike features a new 250cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine, capable of delivering 30 PS of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque.
The Xtreme 250 is a genuine street fighter, boasting aggressive aesthetics and a formidable design. It sports a sharp headlight inspired by the XTUNT 2.5R Concept unveiled last year, a sculpted fuel tank, USD telescopic forks, and a dynamic tail section. It also comes equipped with the same TFT instrument screen found in the Karizma XMR 210.
Karizma XMR 250
Hero’s flagship model, the Karizma, made its debut at EICMA 2024, marking a pleasant surprise from the brand. Despite the company’s struggle to push volumes in their premium lineup, expectations were for a subdued launch. Yet, Hero lived up to its reputation by unveiling the new Karizma XMR 250, equipped with a brand-new engine.
This is the same 250cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4V engine as seen on Xtreme 250R that delivers 30 PS of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque. It is the most powerful version of Karizma ever and the raw numbers are likely to complement the bike’s supersport handling characteristics as it now gets USD telescopic front forks and aerodynamic winglets at the front.
