I bought Mahindra Duro 15 days back. I bought it by reading various reviews as well as my own study of the vehicle. However I must accept that the look wise vehicle is ok.
The only reason of up selling of Mahindra Duro is non availability of Honda Activa. I was supposed to buy Honda Activa, since there was waiting period of more than 4 months, I bought Mahindra Duro.
Pros:
Fast availability as compared to Honda Activa.
Look is ok
125 CC
Cons:
No comfort of riding vehicle for taller person. My height is 5".10’ and I found it very uncomfortable riding the same
MOST BIG PROBLEM, there is no suspension for the front wheel and it gives big trouble when you are riding even with speed of 30 kmph and suddenly there is small pot hole comes in between, then the bike takes big shock which ridder can feel.
Whenever you ride with the pilion ridder the pillion ridder comes on your back and makes your ride very uncomfortable.( this comment is for ppl who rides with their parents and not with galfrnd:)
The average is another problem: Company claims the average is 45 to 50 but that is not correct. It does not give even 45 kmpl.
I would suggest it is worth for waiting for 4 to 6 months for Honda Activa then going for Mahindra Duro. Please be careful.
