Mahindra Pantero was launched in 2013, and there was a big responsibility on its shoulder to power ahead with the Centuro. Sharing the same single-cylinder 106.7cc engine with the Centuro, the Pantero produced 8.5bhp and was mated to a 4-speed gearbox, but it was the features that the Centuro had that made it a big hit among buyers and the Pantero didn't really make the cut.
The Mahindra Duro DZ was designed similar to the Kinetic Nova Scooter and carried the same traditional analogue instrument cluster125cc scooters resulted discontinuation.
Both the Flyte and the Kine too are victims of poor demand. While the Kine is an entry-level scooter powered by a carburettor based, air cooled 71cc petrol engine that produces 3bhp and 5Nm of torque, the Flyte comes equipped with a 125cc, four stroke engine producing 8 bhp. The Kine cost around Rs. 33,000, the Flyte was priced about Rs. 44,000 (both ex-showroom Delhi).
The discontinuation of the four vehicles is a very big decision for a two-wheeler manufacturer. It appears that the company is preparing a slew of new launches in the near future and not hanging on to these non-performers.
