Mahindra's upcoming 110cc scooter, codenamed as the G101 is finally going to be launched on the 29th September, 2014. It has been christened as the Gusto. The name 'Gusto' means enjoyment in doing something, which relates the scooter to enthusiasm of riding. The all new Mahindra Gusto will target not only the youth but people from all walks of life interested in 110cc segment, thus it will be competing with most of the two-wheelers in the segment including Honda Activa, Hero Maestro and TVS Jupiter.
Powering the Mahindra Gusto is an all aluminium 109.6cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled engine, which is capable to deliver 8bhp of maximum power and 8.5Nm of peak torque. Maximum power of the scooter is obtained around 7,500rpm, while the torque curve remains almost constant with top figures coming between 5,000 - 6,000rpm. Top speed of the scooter has been claimed to be 80kmph and the acceleration is much better than many offerings in the segment.
To improve the ride quality and handling, it will come with bigger 12" steel wheels along with telescopic front forks. Wheelbase of the scooter is 1275mm, which is larger than the segment leader and the ground clearance of 165mm is largest among all scooters in India. It has also got lots of unique features that will be announced with the pricing of the scooter on 29th September and these will be the deciding factors for the market response for Mahindra Gusto.
Rajesh Jejurikar, Chief Executive – Farm Equipment & Two Wheeler Division & Member of the Group Executive Board said, “We are set to introduce our new global scooter, the GUSTO, created at our state-of-the-art R&D facility in Pune. The name GUSTO is a derivative of 'gust’ which connotes a sudden strong current of wind, symbolizing the spirit of freedom. GUSTO comes with an all Aluminium M-TEC engine with advanced features such as a stronger crankshaft and bearings, high inertia magneto, high energy HT coil and series regulator to deliver superior power, efficiency and reliability.”
He added, “The Gusto’s distinctive, contemporary styling has its origins in Italy and it has been conceptualized based on extensive research and in-depth consumer insights. After rigorous testing and validation we are now ready to launch the GUSTO in the Northern and Western markets of India and Nepal, on September 29. We will launch in the Southern and Eastern markets of India as well as South Asia, Central America and Africa, in a few months.”

- Great BikeIt is a 125 CC and runs very smoothly on any type of roads. It is a great bike.
- DONT WASTE YOUR HARDEARNED MONEYI bought rodeo rz is april 2013. I was very disappointed with the mileage. I am getting 25 kmpl which is far below the acclaimed ARAI mileage of 59.28. When i raised this issue, the reaction of the dealer hint me that i have wated my money. Digital connsole is not water proof i guess as mine stopped working after a year and when it was working its is not reliable at all. Very tough to maintain this scooter as normally mechanics wont take a chance to repair it. It isvery difficult to find mechanic for it. Not even eligible for zero star rating.Read More10 1
- Good scooterI'm using it since 2013. I never faced any major issues with this scooter. Till now it is the best looking scooter I've ever seen. No scooter till day providing digital speedometer with mood colors. No other scooter has body colored rearview mirrors. No other scooter you can find in 125cc segment. Activa, access all are underpowered. You will feel the difference once you ride it. Suspension is smooth. Mileage is not that great though I'm getting 35kmpl. Since it's been 5 years, i had to change the battery, headlamp(3-4 times as I used to drive at night), headlamp switch and headlamp holder. Its kick-start also dead. But i don't care as electric start works well. I used to do regular service at mahindra service centers but now it's difficult to find the one as I shifted my house. They need to provide tubeless tyres as tube tyres as dangerous. Once it got punctured while I was driving but luckily i was on slow speed. Overall I love this scooter.Read More3 5
