The Hero Karizma café racer gets a new circular headlamp, handlebar and a brown leather wrapped seat. The handlebar too gets leather wraps of the same material. The circular headlamp along with bar-end mirrors add a classic touch.
The fuel tank is a heavily reshaped unit while a new LED taillamp finishes the short tail end. The rear seat cowl of the Hero Karizma café racer (Hero Honda Karizma R back then) is detachable to reveal the pillion seat. The heat wrap on the exhaust pipe adds a rugged look while the canister is new. The tyres are chunkier, and the alloy wheels have been replaced with spokes.
The 223 cc air-cooled, single cylinder mill in the recently terminated Hero Karizma was coupled to a 5-speed gearbox. The carburetted engine was capable of 19.2 bhp of maximum power at 7,500 rpm and 19.35 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm.
