Hero Karizma ZMR vs Hero Xtreme 200S (Quick Comparison)

Hero Karizma ZMR vs Hero Xtreme 200S (Quick Comparison): Hero Xtreme 200S may get compared with a number of other options in India but, only a few keen eyes will notice its rivalry with the Hero’s very own Karizma ZMR. The Xtreme 200S comes with a 199.6cc engine while the Karizma ZMR carries a respect-worthy 223cc engine with 20 HP of maximum output.

The engine under the fairing of Xtreme 200S is good for 18.4 HP. However, the drop in weight by almost 8 kg helps the newly-launched motorcycle enjoy a better overall proportion. The fairing helps the rider stay wind stress-free for most parts of the ride and thus, Xtreme 200S is for those who prefer touring and need the street bike character alive in their motorcycle.

The front section comes with twin LED headlight on the Xtreme 200S while Karizma ZMR comes with the projector as well as halogen headlight. The ex-showroom price difference between both the bikes, that too considering the fact that Karizma is not available with ABS and thus, not for sale through the dealerships at present (maybe later with an update), makes Xtreme 200S the ultimate option for Hero fans in India. Here is a comparison of specifications between both the bikes. The launch of Xtreme 200S could also mean an official farewell to the 223cc Karizma.
