Back in 2010, the Mahindra Stallio 110 commuter motorcycle was launched by Mahindra Two Wheelers, soon after it bought out Kinetic Engineering’s two wheeler business. The launch saw Bollywood actor Aamir Khan unveiling the motorcycle, which enjoyed just a few months in the market before being pulled off by Mahindra to fix gearbox gremlins. Early 2013 is when Mahindra will relaunch the Stallio in the Indian commuter motorcycle market and this time around, Mahindra has also renamed the motorcycle. The Stallio will be called the Panthero 110.

Mahindra Pantero 110 Unveiled. Launch Soon

Mahindra Two Wheelers have unveiled a new bike that will soon be launched in the entry level commuter segment of our rapidly growing bike market.

Christened as the Mahindra Pantero 110, the bike will be seen battling it out against the 100-110cc machines from more established players.

The Pantero 110 comes with some first in class features like a fully digital speedo console and a conveniently placed choke mechanism. The bike also boasts of the longest seat in its class and LED pilot lamps. Other than this, the bike comes with aircraft type fuel filler cap, alloy wheels and LED tail lamp.

Powering the Pantero is a MCi-5, 110cc, single cylinder engine that has been developed ‘in-house’ and boasts of ARAI tested FE figure of 79.4 kmpl. Developing 8.6PS@7500RPM, the Pantero is considerably more powerful than some 100cc contenders out there. The manufacturer claims that the Pantero can do the 0-60kmph run in 8.85 seconds and is quicker than the segment leaders from Hero Motocorp.

The Mahindra Pantero 110 will be available in 4 variants-

T1- Self Start, Alloys, Digital speedo

T2- Self Start, Alloys, Analogue speedo

T3- Kick Start, Alloys, Analogue speedo

T4- Kick Start, Spoke wheels, Analogue speedo

Mahindra is yet to announce the price of its new bike but safely expect it to be priced at par with most of the competition that awaits the Pantero.

Mahindra Pantero review, test ride

Its two years since Mahindra 2-wheelers launched their first motorcycle late in 2010, the Stallio; a commuter bike that didn’t quite enthuse India’s demanding and fast evolving two-wheeler market. Mahindra has taken things in the right spirit though, investing wisely to build an independent R&D capability and bringing their think tank together to improve the bike. Back with a bang, the Stallio has now been reborn the Pantero, after Mahindra 2-wheelers has drawn on their substantial resource pool to perfect this 110cc motorcycle, before diving back in.

Mahindra 2-wheelers tell us the Pantero is a completely new motorcycle, apart from which they have also introduced another model, the Centuro, built around the same platform. For the enthusiasts, there’s news the single-cylinder, 292cc Mojo remains under development, for the moment an unspecified while away from production.

The Pantero and Centuro are both 106.7cc commuter bikes, housing single headlamp units with LED pilot lamps encased within individual bikini fairings. The Pantero looks identical to the erstwhile Stallio, using saffron backlit digital instruments with an analogue tachometer tucked beneath its tinted visor. The Centuro is positioned slightly higher in the market, a relatively feature-rich bike built around the same platform. The Centuro comes equipped with a handsome digital instrument console, this using white backlighting while providing a service due reminder, an economy and power riding mode indicator, a trip counter, odometer and clock. Furthermore, the Centuro will sell equipped with a novel theft deterrent system. The Centuro uses a smart looking, LED torch equipped and flip-to-open key which houses a 128 bit secure access chip that triggers an alarm whenever a duplicate key intrudes, further cancelling ignition to immobilise the bike. Another button on this smart key makes the Centuro lights wink, making it easy to locate the bike in a crowded parking lot.

The relatively basic Pantero comes with decent quality palm grips, and switchgear that includes a pass-light flasher, plus handlebar mounted choke lever. Additionally the Pantero shows off a lockable tool-bay. Both bikes come equipped with handsome, 5-spoke and 18 inch alloy wheels, while their engine bays and other lower parts sport an all-black finish, including the exhaust, this fitted with a chromed heat guard.

Both bikes house the Stallio’s familiar, but extensively reworked and improved, four-stroke, 106.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, now generating a healthier 8.4bhp at 7500rpm, with peak torque close to earlier, at 0.87kgm at 5500rpm. The new powerplant retains common bore and stroke dimensions with the Stallio, now rechristened as the MCI-5 engine, short for Micro Chip Ignited, 5-curves. Mahindra 2-wheeler R&D chief, PS Ashok informs us minor tweaks to engine state-of-tune separate both motorcycles. The Pantero and Centuro bring to the table now industry standard friction killing roller bearings for their rocker arms, a redesigned piston assembly, improved induction plus a better lubrication system. Both bikes come with identical, 4-speed, 4-up shifting gearboxes. Throttle response is better than on the Stallio at low engine speed, a key factor on commuter bikes like these, but our ride was brief, so we must reserve verdict till after strapping on our test equipment. What’s immediately apparent however, is the Pantero gearbox being a solid improvement over the Stallio, a giant step forward. Properly spaced gear ratios and a lighter clutch feel at the control lever are also available, all of which were missing from the first motorcycle.

Mahindra has undoubtedly improved upon the earlier engine and claim the new Pantero is capable of 0-60kph in 8.8 seconds, although we look forward to our independent testing to clarify this.

The Pantero and Centuro deploy twin downtube steel frames, a marginal 1.87kg lighter than the Stallio, with telescopic fork front suspension and a set of adjustable rear shocks. It’s disappointing to note the rear suspension is still bolted to an obsolete, tubular steel swingarm, that few Indian motorcycles continue to deploy today.

The Pantero and Centuro’s upright riding positions feel just right for bikes built for city commuting, and are complimented by long, well-padded riding saddles that aid comfort. The Pantero uses alloy steering braces and ride quality is decent, with some room for improvement. Both new Mahindra bikes use MRF tyres, marking another big improvement, with grip levels now adequate for this segment. Stopping power is via 130mm drum brakes front and rear, with a disc brake presently not an option.

Prices for the Pantero and Centuro are soon to be announced, but expected to be competent.

Re: Upcoming Mahindra Panthero 110

I thought Hero & Bajaj were the leaders in the bike segment…. Mahindra is on the way to thrash the competition. A well thought out launch. Most of the bikes already in the market are just focused on style & nothing for the user to besides adding new spark plugs, valves... coming backed with Mahindra's experience, the bike would indeed be good for Indian conditions & the 4-wheeler features like the flip key feature really set it apart..

Re: Upcoming Mahindra Panthero 110

Pantero has a New Rider Footrest, Brake Pedal and Gear Shift Lever which gives a better handling and comfort. Also, no more water in the headlamps during rains :)
The LED will help in the evening period when there is insufficient light also in the fog, something I've been having trouble with for years now.

Re: Upcoming Mahindra Panthero 110

Pantero and Centuro - hmm when i first heard it thought Mahindra have probably started a new division for making underwear (under garments for those who prefer a bit more sophisticated reading! ) - Cmon what names are these ! No offence but seriously Mahindra could find some better words ending with O :tongue: :stupid:

Re: Upcoming Mahindra Panthero 110

Mahindra Pantero introduced in three new variants.
When the Mahindra Pantero was launched in January this year, it was available in only one variant, the T-1, at a price of Rs. 48,990 (ex-showroom Chennai). However, the company had announced plans of adding more variants in the future in a phased manner. Mahindra, it appears, has kept its promise and introduced the Pantero in three additional options.



The commuter bike is now available in three new options, T-2, T-3 and T-4 apart from the existing T-1 variant. The T-2 variant is available with self start, alloy wheels and analogue instrument console whereas the T-3 has kick start, alloy wheels and analogue console. The base T-4 variant comes with the barebones kick start, spoke wheels and analogue console. The introduction of the new variants will offer more choice to buyers looking to buy the model and at different price point.



The Pantero is Mahindra’s latest effort to penetrate the commuter bike segment and is powered by an indigenously designed MCi-5 engine capable of producing 8.6PS of power and 8.5Nm of torque. The bike also has a high ground clearance of 165mm and a seat that measures 774mm in length, which Mahindra touts is the longest in-its-class. Mahindra claims the Pantero delivers a mileage of 79.5kmpl though in our tests, the figure came out to be 68.25kmpl. The top of the line T-1 variant is priced .
