If you were blindfolded, led to the bike and made to sit pillion, you will understand it is a Mahindra vehicle. I am not sure if it is the good part or a bad part but Mahindra has managed to get all the characteristics from its cars to this bike. The vibrations, the instrument cluster, odd styling all scream Mahindra. The engine is surprisingly good and so is the gear box.
Handling can be a bit better but being a first attempt at this class of bikes, I can forgive mahindra for it.
We do not know why it was delayed for so long, but Mahindra should have launched it early and made changes on the way, would have resulted in better sales and a better bike after inputs from uses.
