Hero Motocorp’s last biggest offering was Destini 125, followed by Hero Xtreme 200R. Both the models are a big thing for the brand, as Destini is its first time in the 125cc segment and Xtreme 200R, for the cheapest 200cc bike.
After Hero’s ongoing stint in the commuter segment with its best-selling Splendor, it is diverting itself in the entry-level performance motorcycle segment.

Hero XF3R (300cc bike)
At the Auto Expo 2018, Hero also showcased the XF3R concept. It is a naked street bike with a powerful 300cc engine. Although, there are no further news regarding this bike.
We expect Hero to launch this new bike as a Roadster with a 300cc engine. Sometime back, there were some rumors of the brand teaming up with Ducati to develop a 300cc bike. If it was this bike or another one, we have no clue.
If this bike launches, it will compete with the likes of Jawa 300, Mahindra Mojo UT 300 and Bajaj Dominar 400.

New Hero Karizma
The last one of the list of upcoming Hero scooters and bikes is the Karizma. This bike is a living legend. Back when it launched in the early 2000s, it created a stir. A homegrown brand developing a new sportsbike at an affordable price. What else do you want?
After years, it has seen around 3 new generation updates. Now, owing to the growing competition, the bike has faded out and barely makes any sales for the month.
Reports suggest that Hero could plan a all-new Karizma is a new fully-faired body. Unlike the semi-fairing in the current model, it will be developed to look like a proper sportsbike.
The engine specifications are unknown as of yet, but we expect it to use the same engine as in Karizma.
