Mahindra Two Wheelers entered the Indian 110cc scooter segment by launching the Gusto scooter. The Mahindra Gusto has been priced at Rs 43,000 (ex-showroom Delhi) for the base Dx variant. According to Mahindra the Gusto is a global scooter and has been launched in India and Nepal simultaneously. It will be sold in South Asia, Central America and Africa in the near future. Currently, the Mahindra Gusto will be available only in the Northern and Western markets of our country while it will be available in other parts of the country before end of 2014.

The Mahindra Gusto is an all-new scooter and is powered by a 110cc motor. Mahindra calls the new powerplant M-TEC and it uses an all-aluminium construction. The single-cylinder, air-cooled motor in the Mahindra Gusto churns out 8PS of peak power and 8.5Nm of maximum torque. Power is transmitted to the rear-wheel via a CVT transmission.
Being a Mahindra offering, the Gusto has been loaded with features which are segment first. The most striking feature is the height adjustable seat with two different settings (35mm difference in seat height). The seat also has a self-locking mechanism, which means the rider doesn’t have to hold it manually while filling fuel or accessing the underseat storage. The kick lever has been provided at front on the Mahindra Gusto so one can kick-start the scooter while being seated. It also has a storage slot under the instrument cluster and will be offered with a multi-function remote flip key.
The Mahindra Gusto employs an analogue instrument console, 12-inch wheels and tubeless tyres. According to Mahindra officials the 12-inch wheels have contributed in the Gusto having the highest ground clearance of 165mm. The Gusto tips the scale at a rather heavy 120kg and has the longest wheelbase in the segment at 1,275mm (similar to TVS Jupiter). Suspension duties are taken care of by telescopic front forks and coil type setup at rear. While braking is done by 130mm dia drum brakes at front and rear. Mahindra claims that the Gusto has a fuel efficiency of 63kmpl (ARAI figure). Also Read: Mahindra Gusto Review
The Mahindra Gusto will be offered in two variants – Vx and Dx. The Mahindra Gusto Vx is the premium variant and will be loaded with all the bells and whistles. The Mahindra Gusto Dx is the standard offering and will miss out on features like height adjustable seat and multi-function remote flip key. The Mahindra Gusto will be pitched against the likes of the Honda Activa 110, TVS Jupiter, Suzuki Access, Yamaha Alpha and Hero Maestro in our scooter market.
