The Hero Karizma XMR 250 has been seen again at a Hero dealer. This time it wears a new red colour. It is the third colour we have seen on this bike so far. Hero has not launched the bike yet. So the price and the final colour list are still not official.

New Red Colour: What It Looks Like

Red is the main colour on the new bike. You see it on the fuel tank, the front fairing and the tall tail. The front mudguard is white. The fairing also has white graphics. The tank inserts and side panels are black.

The bike also gets black alloy wheels, black mirrors and gold front forks. The Karizma name sits on the tank. Big XMR letters sit on the lower fairing.
