Updated Hero Karizma XMR design patent filed. Check what’s different
- Hero Karizma XMR gets few design tweaks that make the motorcycle look more muscular.
It has not been long since Hero MotoCorp launched the Karizma XMR in the Indian market. However, now it seems like the brand is already preparing an update for it. Hero MotoCorp has filed a new design patent in which the Karizma XMR can be seen but with few updates. However, it is important to note that filing a design patent does not confirm whether the brand will launch the product or not.
In the patent image, it can be seen that the Karizma XMR is now equipped with upside-down forks. When compared, the current motorcycle comes with a set of telescopic forks. There is a new fairing that blends in with the new fuel tank and now extends all the way to the bottom. The new fairing also seems to have winglets integrated into them. We are unsure how useful these winglets will be on a 200 cc motorcycle.

Having said that, Hero MotoCorp showcased the XTunt 2.5R concept last year at EICMA which was equipped with a 250 cc liquid-cooled motor. There is a possibility that Hero is thinking of plonking the same unit in a fully-fired Karizma and showcasing it at EICMA. Then there is also a possibility that Hero updates the Karizma XMR with the larger 250 cc engine. However, we will have to wait for EICMA to know what all is Hero MotoCorp planning.

As of now, we do not know the power and torque levels of the Hero’s 250 cc engine. But the current 210 cc engine puts out around 24 bhp of max power at 9,250 rpm and 20.4 Nm at 7,250 rpm. The gearbox on duty is a 6-speed unit. This makes the Karizma, the most powerful motorcycle in its class.
