Mahindra Centuro 110cc - Let's innovate


Hmmmm.... The caption looks innovative usually bikes have a single caption and for centuro we have a sequence of caption. Jokes apart, lets look at Centuro with serious thought!!! ;)


Mahindra auto marks its re-entry into the motorcycle segment with two new revolutionary 110cc bikes: Pantero and Centuro. Pantero is like any other normal motorcycles in the market however the Centuro is not like the rest. This is our matter of discussion about a fact called innovation which is always attained by Mahindra in the recent years especially in autos segment.

So what is new in Mahindra Centuro...

  1. Muscular golden Rib & Graphic Design: Ufff... Nothing is special in it. First of all Who said Golden Ribs makes it muscular? I should see the Marketing guy who expresses anything that comes in his mind. Agreed that the Golden finish makes it posh look, but muscular looks is a word that need not be used for this motor cycle. Graphics design is ok!!! not the best in the market.
  2. Flip Key: India's first flip key. Is it really true??? I dont care whether it is first or second or just 1000th what matters is that whether it is useful and the answer is "YES it is". The best thing a bike can get is its remote and Mahindra understood the need and catered it without anything less. The torch light kind of light is added value. Hats off Mahindra. The Keys not only going to ignite your bike, it also helps to locate your bike and lock your bike (funny... like ur car u can central lock ur bike)
  3. Alarm feature - All bikes & bikes equipped with remote has also the alarm feature. However this one is first of its kind from manufacturer directly. 
  4. Engine:  MCI5 Engine with nearly 107cc is really a small wonder with 8.5Bhp and 8.5nm as peak output power and peak torque respectively. What is wondering is not the power and torque. it is the MCI5 which makes me say that. Micro Chip ignited 5 curve is the full form of MCI5, since its the micro chip that ignites the chip makes sure how the spark plugs going to behave not compared to Pulsar 200NS this can perform job better and clean than any other 110cc engines. Especially mileage is 70+ even when it is city ride and 80+ in highways (100% very good)
  5. Last but not lease the dashboard - Most advanced dashboard makes it feels like you are driving a premium bike, but the driving will make you feel the underpowered or smaller premium feel.
Conclusion:
Mahindra has done a great job with 110cc bike with all innovative features (50% innovative features) however we like the engine to be bigger since the thirst for racing will be more if we have a bike with all sophisticated features. Even when these are priced low these bikes will be below average since the engine is too small. Not sure about the info that Mahindra is looking forward in building out a motor cycle in 150cc segment. For sure if it is release then these innovation matters a lot to the crazy racing lovers :)

My score for Mahindra Centuro - 7/10

Cheers!!!

Mahindra Rodeo - Feel the Power of Scooter

The All new "Mahindra RODEO" is all set to action and it is now ready to rock Indian roads with an super fast 125cc bike.

Mahindra has took a bold step and introduced the scooter in the power bike segment, it was astonishing that the bike was able to produce much better figure in terms of Output power and torque better than most of its rivalries.

The most advanced feature in this bike is the console which has been powered with multi colored lights. Also it provides most of the options that we have in car. Also USB port/Charger is provided to keep our Gadgets charged on the move.

Also the bike allows more storage space since only 4.5Ltrs is your fuel tank capacity and is also present in the front.

Specifications:
  1. Engine Capacity: 124.6cc
  2. Engine Type: 4- Stroke, Air cooled
  3. Output power: 8Bhp @7000rpm
  4. Engine Torque: 9nm @5500rpm
  5. Top Speed: 85Kmph
  6. Gear: Automatic transmission
  7. Mileage: 53Kmpl (+or -)2kmpl
  8. Fuel Capacity: 4.5Ltrs
  9. Weight: 106kgs
Even when the bike has lesser output power the est torque and automatic gear system makes it to reach 0 to 60kmph in just 6.8 secs which is not a simple figure in terms of pick up.

It seems Mahindra want to rok two wheeler market how Bajaj wanted to rock car market.

Cheers!!!
