Hero Karizma XMR 250 is here at EICMA which seems to replace the recently launched 210 version. The launch could take place in a year or two. Powered by a 250cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine it delivers a peak power of 30 PS and a peak torque of 25 Nm, a true sports bike in every sense. The design highlights are the sleek lines, aggressive stance, racing-inspired winglets, along with ergonomic features like height-adjustable clip-on handlebars.
The motorcycle’s structure is reinforced by a sturdy trellis frame, and it features a USD front suspension along with a 6-step adjustable monoshock rear suspension and switchable ABS modes for a smooth ride. The lap timer and drag timer for performance tracking, along with auto-illumination Class-D multi-projector LED headlight and LED DRLs, enhance the utility of the motorcycle.
With the goal of expanding its commercial operations in Europe and UK from the second half of 2025, Hero MotoCorp will be entering the markets riding on a new electric scooter – the VIDA Z. Subsequently, the Company plans to expand its range to high capacity premium internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycles.
Hero MotoCorp has technology centre in Europe – Tech Centre, Germany (TCG) – and the Hero MotoSports Team Rally is also based out of the TCG. The company’s existing and new product range will suitably cater to the present and future requirements of European markets.
The Company announced the appointment of distributors in Italy – Pelpi International S.r.l. It had earlier entered into commercial agreements with partners in Spain – Noria Motos SLU, France – GD France, and UK – MotoGB UK.
