Hero Motocorp has launched much awaited Karizma R and Karizma ZMR silently, Hero had showcased these bikes at 2014 Auto Expo in Delhi. The makeover to this brand of Hero which has an established reputation of a serious tourer in Indian scenario so far was due for many years and finally Hero with the help of its global partner EBR has done the much needed and desirable job of recreating the magic once again, but unfortunately the design element of the new Karizma duos has become subjective for many.
Both the bikes have received full makeover of their front fascia and the rear end, the front fairing has now dual head lamps with integrated blinkers and the rear end has LED tail lights. The Karizma twins also have new dual split seats, stylish exhaust heat shield, clip-on handle bars and wider rear tyres. while the rear set of suspensions remain same for both the bikes and Hero has deprived all the Karizma enthusiasts with the mono suspension at the rear. However Hero Motocorp has at least got the success in extracting more power and torque from the same 223cc carburated engine of Karizma R and fuel injected engine of Karizma ZMR.
The Karizma R is priced at Rs 91,320 (on road Delhi) and Karizma ZMR is priced at Rs 1,14000 (on road Delhi).
