By With the Karizma launch just a week away, we got to witness multiple teasers from Hero which now gives us a good idea of what to expect from the returning legend. The engine’s core characteristics are immediately apparent in the teaser video. Clues from the stickers divulge the engine’s architecture and design. The prior knowledge of the engine being liquid-cooled is reaffirmed – an initial for Hero – with the conspicuous 210 sticker confirming its displacement at 210cc. Adding to this, it is now evident that this engine will boast a DOHC architecture, indicating a 4-valve cylinder-head setup. This suggests a clear emphasis on higher-end performance, a notion that is further supported by the details provided about the instrumentation.
The digital LCD dashboard showcases a digital tachometer, placing the redline at 10,000rpm. This underlines the engine’s capacity for higher revolutions, particularly notable for a single-cylinder engine. Additionally, the digital gear position indicator displayed on the screen reveals that the Karizma XMR will be equipped with a 6-speed gearbox. The dashboard offers additional information, including a digital speedometer, a service indicator, a clock, as well as gauges for temperature and fuel levels.
Notably, a dual-channel ABS sticker also makes an appearance in the video, confirming its availability, at the very least, on the top-tier variant of the new Karizma. This development marks yet another pioneering move by Hero. It all adds up to what looks like a compelling package and we can’t wait to see the bike in flesh on the 29th and ride it the next day! We will be dropping the reviews and opinions on our YouTube channel and social media pages. Stay tuned for all the updates!
