Hero Karizma XMR First Ride Review | Is it Better Than R15, RC200, RS200?

hi guys, here's my much awaited First Ride Review of the Hero Karizma XMR.
I compare it with its Rivals R15, KTM RC200, and Pulsar RS200.
I also talk about USD forks vs telescopic forks.

[@sourabhshrivastava4822]

Definitely a positive move from Hero after a long time. They will soon introduce additional high-end bikes, and the Xpulse will have 400 cc.

[@kevinnough]

The USD forks explanation was good.. I have been seeing my friends having problem with them.

[@ptprateektripathi1]

Almost all queries addressed, that's why your review is most satisfying among all others. What a review man !! Really really awesome.😂

[@sexyboy5970]

Its not just journalling a vehicle but also helping his subscribers enhance their knowledge about bikes,again a top notch review about the machine.Thanl you Dino bhai

[@vishnupillai300]

I think Hero is moving in the right direction to tap the premium segment where they always lacked.We always saw half hearted attempt from Hero in the premium segment and Xtreme 200s was the last example of that..But now it seems things have changed..Xpulse,Xtreme4v,HD 440 and now Karizma..This is what we expect from the no1 brand.

[@venukrishna8453]

Hero would be thrilled to see their bike getting such rousing review from Dino. Kudos to Dino for such rave review of the legend is back.

[@diprajsaha]

The funny thing is we are in love with the track focus technologies but we have barely the accessibility to go to a track i.e maximum of us do not go there at all. So its funny to listen track track all time for usd forks, tyres or aluminium swingarm and all 😂😂

[@abhishek3398]

Usually track based tech is used to give stability through straights and corners, and have user aids such as quickshifter and many others which are used to give convenience to the rider. Why is it such a bad thing? Expensive maybe?

[@heisenberg19989]

The thing is to recognize the concept of "point of diminishing returns" How to find it : Bike weight Your weight Power Drag:aero and friction How much you can push it : assume max or mid or min And never forget cost engineering

[@axel3895]

Tbh you will get bored riding a 200 cc bike on track, I once took rc390 in Bic it became really boring after couple of laps the need for power is real there

[@diprajsaha]

@@axel3895 obviously in good roads even 150 kmph feels like 60 kmph. So in track atleast 600cc needed to really enjoy it.

[@MotoRhapsody]

Hi Dino, great video. What I love is that you are also educating your followers on different aspects of motorcycles, like USD vs Telescopic in this case, something which is rare to see these days. Awesome.

[@avinashacharyulu4993]

Good looking bike with necessary features. Nice video Dino Bhai 👍

[@sanilwadakar4581]

Other youtubers blaming that it doesn't came up with USD's but Dino sir cleared the doubt why it is not implemented. thank you 😊

HERO have hit bullseye with ZMR reincarnation even better the prequel version of Legendary Karizma R/ZMR with first in-house of DOHC, Liquid cooled, 6 gears, dual channel abs and it's a sports tourer, Xpulse need a same updated 210 detuned engine with 25+ps.

[@soumyadipmukherjee6627]

Hero is developing xpulse 400 a 421 cc liquid cooled engine will be made for xpulse 400

[@tootyfooty9497]

Dino has increased the Brand Loyalty of Hero...especially with XMR 🏁___________●

[@vigneshvicky2140]

How is the performance and refinement compare to RS200, r15?

[@sktanzim8031]

Until watching Dino sir's review , satisfaction doesn't come.

[@say2merohit]

For the review watching on full Big screen 😊 Dino bhai can you please explain and expand on the vibrations part please ?

[@mdsayyad2360]

Love you dinosaur sir ❤

[@ovisheksarkar1172]

Best Review available on Karizma XMR on KZbin ❤❤

[@taurianjitu]

Dino brother, great explanation about USD forks, that is a very practical thing. Many reviewers don't tell people about these necessities and realities. " USD HOTA TOH ACHHA HOTA" as if Indian roads are super smooth 😂

[@ashokanukupalli4964]

Awaited most dino anna

[@faisalhasan9239]

after seeing your review i have booked it, fingures crossed i was confused between R15m and XMR and Bullet 350 will be going with Karizma

[@MAYANKChaudhari-pu4xc]

Hero has now launch also XMRR with USD curvilinear aluminium swingarm and add more sporty like lower handle bar

[@AlphaShot..]

That's what I hope so

[@skr004]

how to cancel the booking

[@Vishnu_Chillara]

How it compares to Gixxer 250 SF Dino bro? I know Suzuki is way more pricier than this but, is Gixxer 30 40K more worth than this one?

[@Yogeshvar]

Hi. This is one of your best reviews from what I've seen. Bravo👍👌

[@rajendrakakade2337]

The Speedo consoal is definitely not captured properly😅 we miss that ip thrilling view but chill it comes out a good video so far it could be better👍👍

[@sparkpistons]

Wow wow wow wow I always take reference from your channel whenever it comes to review bike. I follow you a lot huge fan ❤❤❤❤❤ #spark & Piston Family #youtube channel

[@tejodiptasarmah6360]

I was in school when Karizma launched and in college when it discontinued. I buy 220 pulsar then. Want to have one karizma

[@kaushalyadav5026]

Hero is devided our company in three sections 1. Sports bike 2. Daily commute bike 3. Touring bike, and give equally effort in all section then will hero go to boom in market because strategy is everything 👍

[@dharamjoshi7455]

hero seems to not have considered aerodynamics in designing mirrors for the bike. if you notice, at high speed left mirror position got changed due to wind forces and Dino adjusted back mirror at 12:29.

[@tusharpophli]

Was eagerly waiting for your review, thankyou so much.

[@Orson990]

Broi u didn't mention about backlight switches in xmr

[@pranaysenapati2452]

Dino sir .... Next level video.. and hope so next time when you come to Udaipur.. we will meet once ♥️

[@MrBimal143]

Hero is good for 100-125 cc range bikes, old karizma and cbz were the best bikes,, then they focus only on 100-125cc

[@haranbtech006]

They should make an retro bike with up right sitting posture. With the same engine

[@JinSakai_Kuroudo]

stick to your activa uncle ji

[@heisenberg19989]

​@@JinSakai_Kuroudoretro is good, neo retro styling looks funky. Maybe you have that in your mind.

[@gamersgain]

Thanks for answering all our queries Dino!

[@kabinshrestha3674]

Now needed race kit like hero xpulse get enduro kit and hope coming year lets have more aggressive design front

[@satyateja5167]

how are rhe vibrations at high speeds and how does it do when compared to gixer sf250 in all aspects like features, comfort, vibrations, engine refinement etc.

[@udaysingh-mz8or]

🎉🎉🎉

[@ampassionstruck9138]

..wind screen adjustment is Only around 1 inch which is ridiculous, if they had to give it then they should have given it with atleast 4 to 6 inch of adjustment space !!! 😥😥

[@ramizmallick3381]

xpluse with this engine would be excellent for touring and adventure riding...

[@tarun_M1710]

Would you have bought this over r15m if you had the option of picking one of these two bikes?

[@assassinerage1909]

R15 is incredible 150cc legend no bike in market can perform like r15 being 150cc ... A combo of everything except low comfort .

[@ShalsVlogs]

Great review bro, love from Tamilnadu

[@deepayanghosh9822]

I have two questions dino bhai 1 I have been waiting for a perfect bike ever since I joined college. Will this bike satisfy my city ride needs and occasional touring ? 2 is the hero engine reliable?

[@theheretic6739]

Hero engine is always reliable as evidenced by Splendour and Xpulse, it always lacked in power, which seems to have been fixed on this bike.

[@TheKing-xp7lq]

test ride all the bikes fit under your budget , buy the one which makes you smile and satisfied

[@DinosVault]

It gets DLC coated pistons and finger follower valve train, almost like a litre class bike. Tech is top notch and so is quality.

[@JDAngler]

The old Karizma was always known for its reliability and bulletproof engine. I'm sure on that aspect Hero wouldn't go wrong with the new XMR😊

[@sunilbehera844]

Very informative video about bikes..❤

[@mohanrajr6466]

Honda, are you watching this?

[@TechCommuteTelugu]

Shortcomings: 1. Expecting the re-launch of Karizma R version 1.0 coz following Hero's trend of relaunching their bikes such as Passion+ and Glamour. 2. Single Long Comfortable Seat 3. Enhance the silencer's size and make it bolder in its nature. 4. Bigger TFT Console with lesser bezels 5. Tank Capacity only 11L rather than 15.3Lit 6. Lesser Engine Capacity 7. Comfortable sitting ride position 8. Dual Horn 9. Upside Down Front Forks 10. Traction Control System 11. Quick Shifter 12. White Color

[@sainad5689]

Exactly what I'm also expecting bro

[@JinSakai_Kuroudo]

People like you will never buy it, just come online to spew nonsense. And even if your papa agrees to buy it for you, you're just one outlier who likes these silly things and would be happier on a passion pro instead

[@balemkarap5090]

Then price will go 2lac + .. 1.72 lac is best price in this segment..power, look, features everything is good

[@zin-ku6vd]

Dude first look at the price before commenting , this only makes you look dumb. It would be ok to ask all of this if the bike was priced at 2.5 lakh, but karizma is priced at 1.8 .

[@flyer.always]

Hey Dino . Bro , pick the best one Gixxer 250sf vs Karizma XMR (riding comfort is priority)...

[@Alchemisztt]

Iam concerned about how will be their after sale service because service centers here in kerala is very bad. lack of experienced technicians😢

[@abhilashreddy9548]

What was the reason behind not giving USD forks, is there a premium model with USD forks??

They should have offered a more premium varient also with the usd forks, radial tyres, quick shifter etc.

[@akashsr6032]

was waiting for your review video since the launch 😅 thinking of buying this , being an owner of apache 2004v, this would be a very small upgrade I suppose

[@srinivasteki9458]

RTR200 is a good bike with decent pull and power. This will not be a upgrade for you bro. And one thing RTR200 is time tested and this Karizma is new and most importantly a liquid cooled engine which will have its own niggles as its from Hero. Thats one reason i dropped buying Xpulse 200T after watching horrendous youtube reviews of Xpulse issues. And finally R15, NS/RS, Duke/RCis there in market for several years and this Karizma have to beat them in terms of reliability which i suppose will take some years.

[@ze3king]

Does it vibrate like the old zmr??

[@silo1401]

Hi sir❤

[@tharalalnun4364]

Totally agree with the front suspension, usd and bluetooth are gimmicks for the masses anyways they're welcomed for an additional variants, however the box swingarm is ...

[@freddiealmeida]

Dino bhai I had asked a question regarding the engine of this bike. Is it completely a new in-house mill, or is it sourced from elsewhere and does it still have that smooth gearbox found on the decade old karizma and unicorn? I understand there's the slipper clutch offered, but the old karizma engine had a nice gear change feel

[@ArunKumar-2000]

This is absolutely a new engine developed by Hero Motocorp in-house especially for Karizma 🔥

[@wk4478]

You are right on the USD forks, majority of people want a bike that looks good,comfortable to ride,has ample pillion seat space and is cheap to maintain Most people don't care about led,USD forks,monoshock suspension and fully digital meter with many other impractical features which are not necessary at all for daily commute around the city.and damn how pathetic and ugly the digital meters look yuck completely takes away the beautiful visual experience that analog meter gives but all bike reviewers are @******* they keep shoving down the throats voicing unnecessary features,the wind shield adjustment feature is a useless feature but majority reviewers love it,paid or script given I don't know but our country needs genuine bike reviewers that are the true voice of majority Indians not for people who are living a privileged and luxurious life who have time for mindless long rides and unnecessary speeding
