Mahindra Centuro is a 110cc Motorcycle manufactured in India by Mahindra Two Wheelers.[4] The Centuro gets a remote lock with a flip key, the remote lock uses a 96-bit secure access just like four wheelers.[5] The Centuro has already created a buzz in the market with its design and features and is likely to give leaders Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj, TVS and Honda some serious competition. The bike has been designed and developed from the ground-up at their R&D facility in Pune, in view of demands and much criticism received from thousands of customers in the segment.
Unveiling the new bike, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra said the company's success in the two-wheeler territory had disproved sceptics who had advised him against venturing into the segment.
