Although an earlier brief ride on the Gusto left us disappointed with brake performance, the second scooter we tested provided with good braking - a nice, progressive feel apparent at both levers.
The Gusto is priced at par for its segment, retailing for Rs 43,000-47,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi), positioning the latest Mahindra well in the market, ready to meet it rivals. However, although Mahindra Two-Wheelers is clearly moving in the right direction, with a steadily improving product line-up, the Gusto still comes with more than a fair share of rough edges, all of which Mahindra needs to smoothen out, before the Gusto will match its many rivals already plying Indian streets.
