Mahindra Rodeo Std Launched at Rs. 45,199

Mahindra Two-Wheelers has launched a cut price version of Rodeo Automatic Scooter named Rodeo Std to boost its sales. Rodeo Std variant is available at a price of Rs. 45,199, which is around Rs. 3000 lesser than Rodeo RZ, which costs Rs. 48,164 (prices Ex-Showroom, Delhi). Mahindra Rodeo is not doing that well and with this new variant, Mahindra is hoping better records in the upcoming months. To slash prices, Mahindra has toned down the scooter and removed a bunch of features, with much of the mechanicals remaining unchanged.

Front fuelling cap has been replaced and now fuel filling inlet has been repositioned under the seat, so you have to lift-up the seat for refuelling. The second one is that anti-theft locking mechanism has been replaced with a conventional key hole. The under-seat light has been eliminated. The informative digital instrumentation console is now replaced with an analog unit, so there is no digital speedometer and tachometer on the Radio Std. It also dropped the mobile phone charging socket.

Mahindra Rodeo Std automatic scooter is available at all Mahindra Two-Wheeler dealerships across the country, booking has already been started. Rodeo RZ Std variant gets power from the same 125cc four stroke engine mated to a CVT automatic gearbox, it also retains the telescopic front forks. The scooter is an affordable offering from the manufacturer but at a price of its all key features; thus rendering it affordable, not an attractive offering. The scooter competes against the likes of Suzuki Swish, Acess, Honda Activa and Hero MotoCorp Maestro and its aggressive pricing might help it.
