SYM Flyte is the best product in the Kinetic range. Quality levels are certainly up and good, though not equal to suzuki or Honda. The 125cc engine from Sym is a superb engine. Smooth and silent. Thought it is a 125 cc, it is detuned and acceleration is almost equal to 100 cc engine. Good top end at 87 kmph. The handling is excellent; No other scooter is equal to it. The main glitches of SYM flyte are, poor service and network, low ground clearance, and a leaky petrol tank under the foot rest due to hits from speed breakers.

Now, Rodeo has the same engine, and coupled with features that are unheard of in scooters, it makes a tempting product. Hope the ground clearance of Rodeo is better.

A unique ‘side stand buzzer’ reminds the rider that the side stand is still on, avoiding any imbalance or undue damage to the vehicle.


The Mahindra Rodeo offers the ultimate in comfort, convenience and safety. A specially designed petrol tank inlet in front allows the driver to refuel without having to alight from the scooter.

Ergonomically designed seats ensure a comfortable journey for both the driver and the pillion rider. A 4-in-1 key system starts the engine, operates the fuel lock, handle lock and a magnetic shutter which provides additional safety against theft.

Mahindra Flyte – Style icon of the Youth

In 2009, Mahindra kick-started its two-wheeler foray with the introduction of the Flyte as its first product offering across India. With its innovative features backed with power-packed performance and contemporary styling, Flyte is an ideal product offering for its target audience - the Youth.

Flyte is powered with a 125 cc engine and boasts of cool features like Front fuelling, 4-in-1 key, largest storage space and telescopic suspension to make it a comfortable, convenient and smooth ride. To add to this, body coloured impact resistant mirrors and vibrant colours for its TG add to the products overall appeal.

The response to the product has been extremely encouraging and is expected to multiply manifolds during the upcoming festive season.

The Mahindra Flyte is available in a choice of five elegant colour options – Red Oomph, Black Mystique, Jade Charisma, Lavender Groove and Silver Flash.

A robust, end-to-end two wheeler business

Mahindra Two Wheelers will design and market a range of scooters, value engineered motorcycles and high-end motorcycles for the Indian and global markets, helping it establish a robust, end-to-end two-wheeler business in every segment of the industry.

Within the overall two-wheeler strategy, scooters form M&M's entry point into the Indian market and will be an important part of the company's overall two-wheeler product portfolio. There are several macro environmental trends which make the scooter market especially attractive to Mahindra. These include a younger, more affluent customer base with a significant number of empowered women and increased scooter demand in tier-2 cities and small towns. M&M is strongly positioned to cater to this demand, given the company's significant presence and brand equity in these markets.

The strong in-house design and development competencies provided by Mahindra Engineering Services (MES), the Italy-based design house, Engines Engineering and Taiwan’s Sanyang Industry Company Limited (SYM), coupled with M&M’s R&D strengths will help the company assume a significant position in the rapidly growing Indian and global two-wheeler market.

With this launch, Mahindra Two Wheelers now has three products as part of its scooter portfolio – the Mahindra Rodeo, the Mahindra Duro and the Mahindra Flyte that was introduced earlier.

News Approved.

Mahindra Web Site has been modified

They name "Flyte" reminds me Kinetic Flyte. Is it the same one with change in prefix???

On the website, the Flyte and the Rhodeo have the suffix SYM in their name but the Duro doesn't. Does it mean that Flyte and Rhodeo are in collaboration with SYM and Duro is Mahindra's alone?

hmmm..lets wait & see how the performance is

Wow! The features are good!

Threads merged

excellent features, yet to see it in flesh & fresh

Nice observation, the Duro actually looks like the Nova 135. Maybe SYM wasn't involved with the (Nova) Duro.

The launch is over and how come there are no pics of the scooters so far?? (apart from launch pics).

Nothing comes close to the Dio, when handling is being talked about....
Rest is very true..Flyte is seriously one of the best products in the market marred by the bad sales and service from the company...(Understandably so...)

BTW, Mahindra seems to be moving the right way....both the products seem awesome at the price they are provided.
Honda beware.....!

I disagree. Flyte handles better than Dio.

Hi watch this Mahindra Rodeo Commercial
