Hero World 2024: The highlights of Hero World 2024 event were the newly launched Hero Mavrick 440 and Hero Xtreme 125R but Hero MotoCorp caught everyone off guard by introducing the limited edition Hero CE001 motorcycle. This new Hero CE001 is built on the foundation of the recently launched Hero Karizma XMR 210. The Hero CE001 will be produced in limited quantities of just 100 units. The CE in CE001 represents Commemorative Edition, dedicated to honouring the 100th birth anniversary of Hero Group's founder, Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal.
The Hero CE001 marks the company's debut in creating a limited edition for customers, touted as the "most special bike built in India'' by the manufacturer. The decision to use the new Karizma XMR 210 as the base for this motorcycle is rooted in the fact that the original Karizma project was initiated during the tenure of Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal as the Chairman Emeritus at the Hero Group.
Hero CE001 - Performance & Engine Specs
Originally, the Hero Karizma XMR was designed as a half-fairing version, drawing inspiration from the original motorcycle. Although the production version received a full fairing, the Hero CE001 boasts the half-fairing design. Notably, the motorcycle incorporates carbon fibre for the bodywork, making it considerably lighter than the standard model. While Hero MotoCorp has not disclosed specific engine changes, it is anticipated that the CE001 will have a power boost compared to the standard model. The Hero Karizma XMR features a trellis frame and a 210 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing 25 bhp and 20 Nm of peak torque. It is expected that the Hero CE001 will boast a better power-to-weight ratio and come equipped with performance enhancements, including an Akrapovic exhaust.
Hero CE001 - Price & Deliveries
Prices for the Hero CE001 have not been disclosed yet but Hero MotoCorp has committed to delivering all 100 units by July of this year. All units will be made available for online purchase and we anticipate Hero to initiate the booking process in the upcoming weeks.
