The light and concise 150cc commuters are a perfect mixture of power and efficiency. Consequently, it resulted in the drastic enhancement of these motorcycles in India in the recent past. Also, people prefer them much over the heavy weight Tourers. Taking the scenario of the Bajaj Avenger 150 and the AS150 street-fighters, it is examined that buyers in India are easy-going towards the 150cc segment, hence possibilities are at a peak that they may accept varieties of motorcycles.

Cosmetically, the Tourer will keep intact with design specifications that we have seen so far on the previous Mahindra Two Wheeler offerings like Centuro and the flagship Mojo. No new alterations have been announced. It won't be a surprise if the bike features a structure of the Mahindra's signature yellow twin circular trellis-frame.

As of now, all other details are patchy but it can be anticipated that the new Mahindra 150cc commuter motorcycle could yield 14 PS of power and 12 NM of torque. May be these figures are fictitious. When it comes to pricing, the Tourer for keeping the competition strong, is approximately priced at INR 77,000.

Hopes are there that the company will introduce a production ready model of the new bike at the imminent 2016 Auto Expo, so that the excited audience may catch an eye on it and scrutinize what the India's young two-wheeler manufacturer is presenting to the automobile industry.
