Mahindra Centuro launched in India @ INR 45,000 !!

Mahindra two-wheelers launched their 110cc commuter bike Centuro at a competitive pricing of INR 45,000. The two-wheeler division of the country's SUV kings didn't really done well in this arena, started the journey with gearless players Duro & Rodeo then came the Pantero that replaced Stalio & now the Centuro.

Centuro is a feature loaded package which offers some of the very innovative & first of its kind features which are never seen or even expected from this segment of motorcycles.
Built on the same chasis & design pattern as Pantero, The Centuro still able to leave an indviduality mark significantly through the Twin-moulded bar below the petrol tank of the commuter. The headlight unit of the Centuro is a lot Bold & Aggressive than the predecessor though the LED Tail lamps & handle bar has remained the same. Behind the visor, the bike has a three section digital instrument cluster showing a bundle of details such as analogue tachometer, digital speedometer, Service reminder, a clock, odometer, two-trip meter & the list continues. Last but not the least, a fip-to-open 96 bit encrypted key with a LED flash-light & an engine immobilizer which doesn't allow the bike to start with a false key.

Powered by the same single-cylinder, 2 valves, horizontally mounted 106.7cc Pantero engine meshed with a 4-speed transmission box producing 8.5 bhp @ 7500 rpm & 8.5 nm @ 5500 rpm of peak power & torque respectively. The engine of the Centuro is all the same as the Pantero but it has been re-tuned & modified for better performance. It has an all new CDI(Capacitor Discharge Ignition) with revised intake-exhaust timing & Mahindra's patent Jet-Flow lubrication system which certifies good lubrication in engine at all RPM's. According to ARAI, the Centuro delivers 85.4 kmpl of mileage under the test conditions. Mahindra also offers a five-year warranty with the two-wheeler.

Talking about the ride quality & suspension, Centuro has a five step adjustable rear suspension & a telescopic suspension in the front. With a kerb weight of 110 kgs., smooth engine & great NVH levels, this commuter does top whack of 90 km/hr. Customer do get alloy wheels with the motorcycle but lack of front disc brake even the optional one can be felt but one can't really expect everything from the product which is  priced so competitively.

The first 10,000 customers in the country will get the Centuro at an introductry price of  INR 44,000. This Mahindra 2-wheeler Centuro is surely a feature loaded value for money product but competing with opponents such as Hero Splendour(leader of the segment from more than a decade) & various others - Bajaj Discover 100T, Honda Dream Yuga-Neo, TVS Star Series won't be that much easy for the new comer.
