Mahindra Centuro 110 Appearance

According to the segment of the bike, the appearance is overall impressive but we cant judge the bike for any particular person because everybody have its own likes and dislikes over the looks. There are two golden bended rods below the fuel tank in the front of the bike, which are being called Golden Ribs by the company. These golden ribs are the part of its chassis and company saying that this will give a massive look to the bike, however personally we didn't like them much. The bike is available in two standard colour options one is black and the other is red, both are the most preferred colours in bikes. The bike has attractive new graphic design on whole body. The side and rear panels have been arranged in such manner that the panels look like a single piece which is enhancing its look.

The bike churns a maximum power of 8.5 PS at 7500 rpm and a peak torque of 8.5 Nm at 5500 rpm. These range of power and torque are sufficient for commuters which are mostly ridden in the cities. We don't know that any modification has been done in the engine or not, but the performance of the Centuro is better than the Pantero. Regular constant mesh type 4- speed transmission box has been used to balance between the power, torque and speed.
