Hero MotoCorp on Tuesday re-introduced its old brand ‘Karizma’. The bike Karizma XMR of this brand has been launched at an initial price of Rs 1.72 lakh. It is equipped with 210cc engine. Hero Karizma continues to be one of the most successful products ever in the Indian motorcycle market. It was first introduced in 2003 under the collaboration between Honda and Hero MotoCorp. The Karizma continues to be sold in the market till January 2019. Changing technologies and declining sales over the last decade forced Hero MotoCorp to eventually discontinue the motorcycle.

The turn indicators and tail lamps also come with LED touch. The sporty bike gets a slightly raised adjustable front wind guard while the massive fuel tank gives it a distinct feel. The fuel tank gets some smooth folds, which help in the aerodynamic efficiency of the bike.
