Mahindra spruce up Rodeo

by Leave a Comment

Similar to the upgrade Mahindra 2-Wheelers gave to the Duro, transforming it in to a more refined Duro DZ, the company is now ready to do the same with the Rodeo gearless scooter. The spruced-up Rodeo will be christened as Rodeo RZ and is now purported to be more efficient, smooth and also powerful than the older version.

The current Rodeo is powered by a peppy 125-cc engine that churns out 8.11 PS of power and 9 Nm of peak torque. The scooter has a small fuel tank with a capacity of 4.5-litre, which give an approximate range of under 200 kpl. It is a fun to ride scooter with features like front loading fuel tank and telescopic front forks.

The Rodeo RZ is scheduled to be unveiled on June 7th, 2012, and we hope the current price of Rs 50,436 (on road, Pune) will remain unchanged.

 

Suzuki’s new Hayate TVC with Salman Khan

by Leave a Comment

There an awesome new TVC doing the rounds on YouTube and with every passing second getting hits after hits. It’s our very own good/bad cop Chulbul ‘Dabangg’ Pandey a.k.a Salmaan Khan busting crime with ease and capturing runaway criminals with ease in the story line of this advert. Even though a bit stereo typical in its approach, the TVC manages to create an impression in the minds of the people with a humorous approach. As far as the marketing aspect is concerned Suzuki are bang on and roping in the character of Chulbul Pandey is sure to work in favor of the brand.

The new Hayate ad is slated to hit prime-time television very soon, but for now you can watch it here.

Hyosung DSKThe Korean company splits up with Garware Motors

 

This news might come as a blessing in disguise to Hyosung fans. Garware Motors has sold its stake in Hyosung JV to the DSK Group, a prominent real estate developers also known for their Toyota dealerships in Maharashtra. Company insiders have revealed that Sachin Kulkarni, son of D.K. Kulkarni, Chairman, DSK Group, will be holding the reins of the new partnership.

This foray by DSK in the Indian two wheeler market, will be quite interesting to watch, given their vast experience in the automotive industry and significant capital that the company can invest in this partnership. We feel that they can make a big difference by restructuring the pricing strategy, especially since the company is about to launch the new GT250R this month. Currently, the company’s two-wheeler line-up includes the GT650R, GT650N and ST7 in India which are priced between Rs 5-7 lakh bracket.

The reason for Garware Motors selling its stake in Hyosung Indian operations is not yet known officially, with various speculations making the rounds. The official statement is expected to be released tomorrow.

Pulsar 200NSBajaj has discretely disclosed the price of the much anticipated Pulsar 200NS at its dealerships in Pune.

It is no surprise the the Pune-based automobile major chose its home city for the soft-launch. The all-new Pulsar 200NS will bear a price tag of Rs 94,210 (on the road, Pune) which is bang on to what we had predicted in our first ride / impression of the bike. With 23.52PS of power on tap at 9500rpm and 18.3Nm of turning force at 8000rpm, the triple spark plugged, four valves SOHC, 200NS is a hoot to ride!

The price of the Pulsar 200NS might vary in different states of India but we are certain it will remain with-in the Rs 1 lakh price bracket, which makes it a good value for money proposition. The bike will be available for test ride from next week onwards. But if you have already made up your mind about the purchase, then you can book it by paying Rs 10,000 up front.

Bajaj also released a 360-degree tour of the Pulsar 200NS, with Transformers-style animation that one can watch here.
