Mahindra & Mahindra Launch 'Centuro' - The 110cc Bike In India At Rs. 45,000
The recent entry in the 110cc motorbike segment is with the launch of Centuro by Mahindra & Mahindra group. The two-wheeler portfolio of the company is going to be scaled up with the officials planning to roll out 10 new two-wheeler models over the next two years. The company may also be coming up with a few off-road bikes with this plan. Bearing a price tag of Rs. 45,000 in India, the Mahindra Centuro is yet another fully-loaded bike, that promised a mileage of 85.4 kmpl over a 106.7-cc, MCi-5 (Micro Chip Ignited-5 Curve) engine and comes with an advanced digital dashboard with distance-to-empty, service reminder indicators, anti-theft alarm with engine immobiliser and an encrypted remote flip key, which by the way is a first in Indian motorcycling that gives unique secure access to the motorcycle.
Along comes with this bike is a five-year warranty and a maintenance-free battery that runs a 5-step rear suspension for the riding comfort on the bumpy-little Indian roads. Unveiling the new bike, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra said the company’s success in the two-wheeler territory had proved wrong sceptics who had advised him against venturing into the segment. "It just gave me a sense of deja vu because that’s the same advise the sceptics had when we moved into the (passenger) automotive segment and again when we built the Mahindra World City, first in Chennai and then in Jaipur," said Mr. Mahindra. "The Centuro is a prayaag, a confluence of customer feedback, out-of-the-box thinking and indigenous designing," he said.
Speaking of the features that the bike brings for you is also the Find-Me Lamps that help to easily locate the motorcycle even in a crowded parking lot while Guide Lamps continue to illuminate even as you walk away after parking the bike to light up the way for you.
