Royal Enfield Café Racer preview [ The Royal Enfield Cafe Racer may see a 2013 launch in India ] Recently, at the Long Beach Motorcycle Show held in California, Royal Enfield showcased its 2014 Royal Enfield cafe Racer. As the name suggests, this motorcycle has typical café racer styling with a round single-unit headlamp, elongated fuel tank, clip-on handlebars, bar-end mounted chrome side view mirrors, minimal body panels, chromed cigar shape exhaust, a single seat and a rectangular tail-light with aluminium mudguards. Royal Enfield cafe Racer will house a four-stroke, single-cylinder, 535cc fuel injected engine, claimed to have a power output of 36bhp.The Royal Enfield cafe Racer deploys a twin-spar tubular steel frame designed by Harris Engineering, telescopic forks upfront and a set of gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear bolted onto an elliptical tube swingarm. Unlike a traditional Royal Enfield, this motorcycle will have a leaned-in riding position which should aid handling. The company claims the Royal Enfield cafe Racer is 21kg lighter than its other 500s. For stopping power, this bike will be equipped with a single disc brake in the front and rear. Additionally, Royal Enfield will offer a wide range of accessories like aluminium fenders instead of plastic, aluminium upper and lower triple brackets, two different exhaust systems, café and clubman handlebars. The Royal Enfield Café Racer is expected to be launched some time in July-August 2013 in the US and will be known as a 2014 model due to a late 2013 launch. There is no clear indication as to when this motorcycle will go on sale in India but we hope to see it in showrooms sometime this year. autocar Images by Tendance-Roadster

Mahindra Re-Enters with Mahindra Pantero and Mahindra Centuro
Mahindra Pantero and Mahindra Centuro motorcycles unveiled by Mahindra 2 Wheelers, a part of India's auto giant Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd (MM) re-entered into the two wheeler market with its two motorcycles christened Mahindra Pantero and Mahindra Centuro.
Mahindra 2 Wheeler announced its second comeback to the country's motor cycle segment two years after the company called off its motorcycle model Stallio in 2011. Though the company did not announce the price and the availability of the newly launched models, it is expected to be priced competitively."Our pricing strategy is all obvious from value propositions, and it does take competition into account. We will make sure that the proposition the customer gets will be appropriate to the value that we are providing to the customer," said Anoop Mathur, President-Two Wheeler Sector and Member of the Group Executive Board, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd according to Business Line. "Our pricing will neither be a deterrent nor a show-stopper."
Mahindra Pantero and Mahindra Centuro run on Micro Chip Ignited 5-Curve (MCi-5) engines which are designed in-house and will be manufactured at Pithampur plant near Indore. Both the bikes are expected to pit against the leading players' 100-110cc motorcycles.
Mahindra Pantero, which is expected to hit the market first, targets the youth. It comes with a 110cc MCi-5 (Micro Chip Ignited 5-Curve) engine which is capable of generating a 8.6PS of power at 7,500rpm. It boasts of features like LED pilot lamps, alloy wheels and digital dashboard. It is claimed to give a mileage of 79.5 kilometer per liter.
"The Mahindra Pantero should be out in the next couple of weeks, and Mahindra Centuro a few weeks thereafter," said Mathur.

The Mahindra Pantero and Mahindra Centuro are both 106.7cc commuter bikes, housing single headlamp units with LED pilot lamps encased within individual bikini fairings. The Mahindra Pantero looks identical to the Mahindra Stallio, using saffron backlit digital instruments with an analogue tachometer tucked beneath its tinted visor.

The Mahindra Centuro is positioned slightly higher in the market, a relatively feature-rich bike built around the same platform. The Mahindra 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 Mahindra 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 Mahindra Pantero comes with decent quality palm grips, and switchgear that includes a pass-light flasher, plus handlebar mounted choke lever. Additionally the Mahindra 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 Mahindra Pantero is capable of 0-60kph in 8.8 seconds, although we look forward to our independent testing to clarify this. The Mahindra 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.
