Hero has expanded the Karizma XMR lineup by introducing two new variants. The top-end variant is priced at ₹2 lakh (ex-showroom), while the visually striking Combat Edition comes in at ₹2.02 lakh (ex-showroom). The base variant continues to be available at ₹1.81 lakh. This expanded range offers buyers more choices depending on their budget and preferences.

One of the most notable upgrades for 2025 is the addition of a new TFT instrument cluster. This advanced console supports Bluetooth connectivity, enabling turn-by-turn navigation, music and call notifications, battery status monitoring, and seamless smartphone pairing. It adds a modern and premium touch to the rider’s cockpit experience.

To improve handling and overall ride quality, Hero has equipped the top-end variant and the Combat Edition with upside-down (USD) front forks. These not only provide better stability and feedback at high speeds but also enhance the bike’s visual appeal, giving it a more aggressive and premium look.

The Combat Edition stands out with its unique grey and black color scheme, accentuated by golden front forks. This combination gives the motorcycle a bold and sporty character, instantly grabbing attention on the road. It’s a clear choice for those who want their bike to make a statement.

Mechanically, the 2025 Karizma XMR remains unchanged. It continues to be powered by a 210cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine that produces 25 bhp at 9,250 rpm and 20.4 Nm at 7,250 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and features a slip-and-assist clutch for smoother gearshifts. Underneath, the steel trellis frame and rectangular swingarm provide a solid foundation. Braking is handled by a 300 mm disc at the front and a 230 mm disc at the rear, both petal-type, with dual-channel ABS ensuring safety. The bike runs on 17-inch alloy wheels with tyres measuring 100/80 at the front and 140/70 at the rear.
