Hero Karizma XMR

  • Underwhelming instrument cluster ; Initial bite from the brakes could be better ; Could’ve had grippier tyres

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better, Suzuki V-Strom SX or Royal Enfield Himalayan?
  • Both vehicles are great in their own forte. Suzuki V-Strom SX has loads of visual presence and looks like a big ADV bike. Handling is impressive by ADV standards. Relaxed riding ergonomics make it a great tourer. On the other hand, Royal Enfield’s Himalayan offers a more engaging riding experience, but you also end up saving quite a lot of money. Himalayan has great ergonomics for touring or stand-up riding, long-travel suspension aids in brilliant off-road riding, spoked rims, and tall ground clearance, switchable ABS helps to lock the rear wheel under off-road conditions. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
  • I will definitely go for Himalayan because Royal Enfiled is offering a whopping 400cc engine at lower cost like around 2.7-2.89 lakhs where as V- strom is just a 250cc engine costing around 2.6 lakhs. The didn't like the looks though.
  • One and only answer the most better now Suzuki V-Strom sx ❤️

    Most aggressive looking bike 

    It is a great touring bike that is sporty and very aggressive bike and the suspension is well tuned and is great comfortable. The engine sound of this bike is really nice and gives great power delivery but the low end performance is not good. Honestly it is easy bike to ride and comfortable enough but it gives vibrates. It feels refined and the engine actually feels smooth but is average in many things. It attracts lot of people that look sporty but the brakes are not that good and the price is very high.

    Adventurous Spirit and Dynamic Performance 

    " The Hero XMR Karizma XMR is the motorcycle that every adventurer dreams of because of its adventurous streak and fast-paced performance. Besides, as far as water-themed sport engaging activities are considered, rafting is a must-experience as well. They praised its quick and strong engine as well as agile handling and stand-out design, providing drivers with the same ride on the highway and winding roads. Along with its advanced features such as ABS, digital instrument cluster and LED light the car truly looks amazing. Interestingly, several others say that the fuel efficiency is still not at the best level and imply that the wind shield is not good enough especially when the speed is at its highest level."

    Roaming the Roads with Hero Karizma XMR 

    Hero Karizma XMR is an ideal motorcycle for the ultimate adrenaline addicts or just avid fans because of its off-road features and outstanding performance. It comes with a power packed XMR engine and ensures safety as well as comfort in highways and other offbeat areas on the other hand. The Karizma XMR's highly progressive features which include the ABS and traction control will make sure that you enjoy a safe and secure flight at all times when riding this bike. Nevertheless, the high seat placed might be a problem for the short-statured one, and the opened price tag can be the evidence of the high-level performance and complexities. In conclusion, the 2022 Bajaj Karizma XMR is very exhilarating for any rider who wants only to revel in the thrill of the journey or the exploration.

    I've ridde­n it for some time now, and it has bee­n an interesting expe­rience. As someone­ who enjoys motorcycles, I like its stylish look and comfortable­ riding experience­. The Karizma XMR is one of the most affordable­ bikes in its class, making it accessible to many ride­rs. However, I've notice­d that its fuel efficiency could be­ improved, and the build quality see­ms lacking in certain areas. Despite­ these drawbacks, its smooth performance­ and low cost make it a good choice for anyone se­eking a stylish and budget-friendly motorcycle­ ride.

    Excellent features 

    This bike has excellent braking performance and is incredibly practical and the Suzuki V Strom SX has amazing features and technology, like dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth, USB charging, LED headlights, and much more. At highway speeds, it is incredibly comfortable because to its roomy and well padded design and is reasonable price but it provides good comfort during lengthy rides. This bike has a great style and excellent suspension, however spoke wheels are missing bt this is a Suzuki adventure touring bike with good performance.

    Proud owner 

    I am a proud owner of vstrom 250.I’ve writing after 11k km of bike usage.Looks are subjective but i love the way it looks.Not to underestimate its 250 cc engine.I never felt it’s under powered in almost all conditions.Can have a comfortable 100-110 cruising speed.It gave me a mileage of approximately 32 if i am at 110 in highways but also got 48 average in mountains.Extremely comfortable for long ride without any accessories.Rode from kaza to delhi non stop via shimla.Only felt strain on wrist to hold on acceleration and left fingers due constant change of gear in the mountains.But it could also be because of the cold.I am surprised why it’s not sold as much.Don’t go by its cc.Take a test ride and decide.Bikes are unique.It’s not one fit for all.It the right one for your personality.I wish they come up with a 400-500 cc adventure bike.Please hear us suzuki.

    Bit higher 

    I drove the suzuki v-strom sx 250 a couple of weeks ago.Initially i didn't like the front look.It looks completely weird.Although the sides look amazing.When i rode it, I felt like it's not worth buying.The suspension is on the stiffer side.By the look it says that it is is an adventure tourer but we don't even feel like we are riding an bike.The suspension is a bit on the stiffer side.It is like riding a scooty.I'm 5"4 inch height and i couldn't flat foot my both the feet.The seat is a bit higher.Being 250 cc engine the price could be little lower because royal enfield offers an adventure bike called himalyan around 2.6 lakhs with a bigger engine (400 cc) than the v strom.
