This new bike will fall under the adventure tourer category and may also serve as the naked version of the Karizma XMR 250. A design patent has been filed for the bike, which includes wide handlebars, low-slung headlamps, and a radiator with cowl. But it has no fairing. The fuel tank is quite muscular in design, and the rear is a bit slimmer.
The concept model does not use lighting components, but the production version may feature LED lights. The design patent includes a rectangular digital instrument cluster, which will display important information along with Bluetooth connectivity.
This adventure tourer bike from Hero will be powered by a 250cc, liquid cooled, single cylinder engine, but details about the engine output are not known yet. The bike will be built on a trellis frame and will have upside down front fork and rear monoshock suspension. Both the wheels will have disc brakes and a dual channel anti-lock braking system will also be offered. However, whether there will be switchable ABS, is yet to be confirmed.
