Hero Honda Karizma Review
Style, comfort, performance, you name it and Hero Honda Karizma would do complete justice. Loved and craved for by bike lovers all over, Karizma is truly a delight to own.
Performance – With a mind boggling 223 cc engine displacement, it promises a maximum speed of 125 km/h. The maximum power it belts out is 12.68 bhp at 7000 rpm while a maximum torque of 18.35 Nm at 6000 rpm. This bike goes from 0 to 60 kmph in just 3.8 seconds, a sure high for the adrenaline junkies.
Suitable for both city and highway rides, Hero Honda Karizma promises stability even at higher accelerations. While other bikes start shaking at 75 plus km/h, Karizma provides steadiness even at 110 km/h
The dash board apart from featuring an analog rpm and speedometer (which also has the beam and indicator), also has a digital panel for display of fuel, meter and distance plus a digital clock. This sure is a total win as the rider does not have to stop the bike to check the time.
The wheel base which is 1355 mm in dimension is wide enough to provide adequate amount of safety to the rider. The suspensions are telescopic hydraulic shock absorber in the front and swing arm five step adjustable type hydraulic shock absorber in the rear.
This monster is definitely not a petrol guzzler and provides a good mileage. The fuel tank capacity is set at 15 liters.
Hero Honda Karizma is a total beauty with its fighter jet appeal which guarantees a second look. Resembling a sport bike, Karizma is an arresting and attractive bike. The entire structure of the bike is like a fighter jet with its air pockets in the front and the tail which features dual lamps. Hero Honda Karizma comes in Darling Yellow, Power Black, Sport Red, Spotlight White and Ebony Grey.
