As a result, the motorcycle is now offered in just two versions — the Top variant and the recently introduced Combat Edition. Both trims now come with features that were previously exclusive to higher models. With the base model no longer available, the starting price of the Karizma XMR has increased significantly. Initially launched at ₹ 1.73 lakh (ex-showroom), the most affordable option in the lineup now begins at ₹ 1.92 lakh, marking a price jump of ₹ 19,000. Although this revised pricing reflects the added equipment and updates, it may reduce accessibility for budget-conscious buyers who were considering the now-discontinued base version.

Hero Karizma XMR base variant discontinued, prices now start from ₹1.92 Lakh
₹1.92 Lakh data-item-target-url=/auto/two-wheelers/ data-item-story-segment=Mass Vehicles> The new Hero Karizma XMR is the most powerful motorcycle in its class, producing the highest torque. Check Offers The Hero Karizma XMR lineup has been quietly revised with the base variant now being delisted from the official website. With this move, the Karizma XMR is now only available in two trims – the Top and the newly introduced Combat edition – both of which come equipped with previously exclusive features. Hero Karizma: Base variant axed The discontinuation of the base variant has led to a considerable increase in the Karizma XMR's starting price. Earlier, the model was launched in a single variant at ₹ 1.73 lakh However, the cheapest Karizma XMR is now priced at ₹ 1.92 lakh (ex-showroom), which is a base price increase of RS 19,000. While this price adjustment is appropriate considering all the new kit that has been added, it could be a blow to buyers looking for a cheaper entry point in the segment. Also Read : Hero MotoCorp to enter Germany, France, Spain and UK in Q2 FY26, says Chairman Pawan Munjal Feature upgrades standardised Following criticism at launch – particularly regarding the lack of a USD fork, which is standard on rivals like the Yamaha R15, Hero recently updated the Karizma XMR's hardware. The motorcycle now gets a TFT display and a USD front fork, both of which were absent in the original version. These upgrades are now common on the other two variants, some of which were among the most pressing issues raised by enthusiasts and shoppers. The updates not only enhance the bike's tech cred but also its riding dynamics and front-end stability. Hero Karizma: Combat Edition Of the two variants presently available, the Combat edition is distinctive with a grey and yellow paint finish. At ₹ 2.02 lakh (ex-showroom), the Combat variant has the same feature list as the Top variant, hence the difference being mostly cosmetic. The colour scheme is something akin to the Xoom 110 Combat edition, in line with Hero's overall design language across models. Also watch: Hero Karizma XMR 210 launched: First look Hero Karizma: Specs Even with the equipment and variant re-jig, the mechanical bit is the same. The Karizma XMR still gets the same 210cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, producing 25hp and 20.4Nm of torque. It comes with a 6-speed transmission and still aims at riders seeking a sportier, faired bike in the sub-250cc segment. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India.
