lets know why company has discountinued this model in India.
Why Base Variant of Hero Karizma XMR 210 Discountinued?
As per the media report the sales performance of this bike led to this move. monthly dispatches fell sharply from over 1,800 units in March 2024 to just zero units sold in December 2024, January 2025, and February 2025, indicating the base variant’s demand collapse.
The fading demand, coupled with Hero’s strategic pivot toward the upcoming Karizma XMR 250, suggests the base variant’s phase‑out was inevitable.
So, If you were considering the entry-level Karizma XMR, your only options now are the higher-end Top and Combat Edition models, both priced well above Rs 1.99 lakh ex‑showroom and offering upgraded hardware. The Rs 1.73 lakh option is no longer available.
Hero appears fully focused on its premium repositioning path, and with the XMR 250 set to arrive, expect the 210cc variant to recede further in importance and availability.
