In terms of features, the two new 250 cc motorcycles get class-D LED projector headlights with LED DRLs, lap timer and a drag race timer, switchable ABS modes and a digital instrument console that gets phone connectivity, music control, turn-by-turn navigation and other features. The design on the Xtreme 250R is sporty, muscular and at least in photos the motorcycle seems to have well-proportioned looks. On the other hand, the Karizma XMR 250 has a similar design as that of the Karizma XMR 210 with a full fairing, sleek lines, an aggressive stance, race-inspired winglets and adjustable clip-on handlebars. Hero is likely to launch both 250 cc motorcycles in the next few months.

Hero Vida Z 

Hero MotoCorp also took the wrap off the Vida Z, a new electric scooter that has been designed and developed keeping global markets in mind. The Vida Z gets a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drivetrain, which is said to offer the best combination of efficiency, low maintenance and performance. The modular architecture can accommodate a range of battery capacity starting from 2.2 kWh and going up to 4.4 kWh battery. The vehicle will be equipped with a connectivity suite + cloud platform. This new platform will allow the owners to monitor/track the vehicle health, theft/movement detection, geofencing, immobilising and get Over the Air (OTA) updates without the need of visiting the service centre.
