Mahindra Centuro launched

Mahindra 2-Wheelers has launched its Centuro commuter bike at a competitive price of Rs 45,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Close on the heels of their Pantero, the Centuro is Mahindra's next assault on the 110cc commuter segment, a relatively more up-market, feature packed bike. The Centuro comes with a raft of features never before available in the segment, and Mahindra are hoping this will allow their latest bike to catch the fancy of the Indian two-wheeler buyer.  

The Centuro gets a sharply styled headlight unit upon which sits a dark tinted visor. Behind this sit comprehensive instruments showing an analogue tachometer, digital speedometer, odometer, trip meter, clock, service-indicator, economy-mode indicator and a distance to empty read-out. There’s still more, in a flip-to-open 96 bit encrypted key, this making it impossible to start the Centuro using a duplicate key. This key also enables riders to flash their motorcycle headlight when they want to locate it in the dark.

The Centuro also provides a ‘follow-me’ function that keeps the headlight illuminated a while after the ignition is switched-off to show its rider the way when it is dark. At rear the Centuro gets a smart looking LED taillight.
