Hero MotoCorp launched the Xtreme 250R and XPulse 210 after a long wait. It is expected that the company will also launch Karizma XMR 250. Hero Karizma XMR 250 is being awaited since for the first time in EICMA 2024. However, no official announcement has been done by the company so far. Sports bikes are expected to be launched in the coming few months.
Hero MotoCorp has not sold a single unit of Karizma XMR 210 in the last three months. In January 2025, the brand launched the teaser of Karizma XMR 210 Combat Edition variant. Since then no update has come. It is expected that the company can close the old model due to Hero XMR 250.

There are air vents in the side fairing that help keep the heat of the engine away from the rider for better thermal discipline. Although it brings many changes in the design and bodywork, it is expected that it will be very similar to the XMR 210.
