To see the quality just set their RVMs and after riding for 100 meters it is off by at least 20-30 degrees by own and here, I am talking about a relatively new scoot bought in Dec end.
It could be little better for super luxurious roads which Indians are deprived of, but for any sub urban roads, it is too much to take care of.
I have read somewhere some really **good** words for rodeo too.

Full review:
Mahindra Duro

Ohh yeah, after sales is even worse. For last month I couldn't get them to understand that too soft shockers and really bad ground clearance is a genuine problem.

You would be a better person than me to comment upon the quality of Duro as you own it.
But, personally, I found the them Rodeo & Duro to be the most agile and responsive scooters in India. Leave the top end, low end and mid range is just fantastic.

Mahindra guys, be in your SUV department and try to make them good, you can't be BMW which makes exotics in both 2 and 4 wheelers.

PS:
your scoots are no good too.
Energy & Adreno were pretty good bikes. As Riaz said, they were a little before time and did not have a good backup.
Their 110cc versions (FX) produced 9bhps at that time which have been equalled by Twister now.
