Mahindra Centuro Rockstar

Mahindra has been a long standing player in the four wheeler segment but its entry in the two wheeler segment can be a game changer for the company. Centuro has been given a minor facelift for increasing the style appeal and the name has been given with a suitable touch 'Rockstar'.

Design and Style

Centuro Rockstar comes with signature golden ribs, which differentiate it from every bike present in its segment, thus making it a style statement. Following the same chassis, the bold body graphics easily marks all the differences from its predecessor. Use of chrome on the exhaust simply increases its beauty.

Instrument Console

Mahindra offers a mix of digital and analog meter for the bike with a well-managed arrangement of all the units in a single console. Analog speedometer and fuel indicator are to the right of the digital display which server all the other purposes of the rider.

Engine & Performance

Centuro family shares the same engine through every model which is a 106.7 cc single cylinder air-cooled Microchip ignited-5 curve, 4 stroke engine which produces a peak of 8.5 Bhp @ 7500 rpm and a torque of 8.5 Nm @ 5500 rpm. It is mated to a 4 speed manual gearbox.

Comfort while Riding

Mahindra has manufactured the Centuro family by taking care of all the basic needs of a rider. It has a standard seating position on which a person of any age can easily sit and the long seat provides an each sitting experience on longer rides also.

Mileage

Centuro bikes are pocket friendly as they return a mileage of 68-70 kmpl on highway and 60-62 kmpl on the hectic city roads.

Brakes and Suspension

Mahindra has used the most commonly used 130 mm drum brake combo for the front and rear wheels. The bike rides on a hydraulic, coil spring 5-step adjustable suspension which is a nice one for the rider's comfort level.

Ride and Handling

Thanks to the large 18 inch tyre size which provide a hassle free ride throughout the way, no matter how long it seems. Handling at higher speeds may sound difficult due to the drum brakes only.

Variants

Centuro Rockstar is available in two variants, one with self-start and the other with kick start.

Shades

Rockstar is available in a combination of black and red, with a golden stripe matching its golden rib structure.

Price

Centuro Rockstar kick start version is available for 42,950 INR and the self-start version can be availed in 45,250 INR.

Verdict

Making its mark in the two wheeler segment won't be easy for the Centuro but the features like remote flip key, anti-theft alarm and guide lamps can prove to be useful for its success.
