About the Reviewer

Ridden for (If Owned)	15000+ km
Got mileage of	44 kmpl

It is my 4 year ownership review.

Before buying i just compared my duro with its competitors like activa, access 125, maestro and pleasure. Then requirement of nice torque, only satisfied by access125 and duro125.

After further points considering fuel economy and carrier space as well space near feet is too great. Duro is more comfortable and spacious compared to other mopeds in class, also the torque is beating access125, tested when had a drag race between both of it.

Only thing duro is behind from its competitors is lack of aesthetics and looks.

Riding experience is very comfortable, even i am 6' tall, and can ride comfortably. During off-road riding, it sometimes bumbles. Breaking is good, drum brakes, it needs to tighten after every 40-45 days.

I am getting 43-45 kmpl fuel economy as of now, since i owned this bike from may'13.

Need to change the battery after 4 years in july'17, which cost me 1400/-.

There was no problem for service centers, service is cheap in cost but nice in quality, only costs 400-500 rs per servicing.

I can say one can prefer duro over activa or pleasure or maestro.

Starting problem has been fixed which was earlier experienced by some duro owners.

Overall, its smooth riding quality, good torque, spaciousness, fuel economy and low service cost makes you feel buying it eyes closed.

Tips for Mahindra Duro

Service your bike after every 2000km and change oil after 4000km i.E. After one consecutive servicing.

Worst moped
1 year ago
Sanket
Worst bike, don't purchase this and waste your money. It's never started and kicked the problem. Go with activa or other mopeds. I never recommend buying this moped. You feel frustrated while starting the bike with a kick and it consumes more petrol as well. Its spare is not available easily to market and common service center denied to repair it due to cost and effort.

Very good scooter

Manoj
Very good scooter which I used last 8 years, strong and more comfortable. Now we missed because of stop production. Comfortable because of strong. And the weight of the body and height. Anyway, most people like this vehicle. We are waiting for an electric scooter from Mahindra.

Mahindra Duro review
2 years ago
Ajay
I bought this scooty in Jun 2011...I did many tours with it in himachal...It has the largest space, a great power to carry heavy loads in places like himachal.
Great seat, great light. Only issue with the front suspension, later it was replaced by shockers in duro dz.
However, it is a great purchase, i am still using it for any type(Indians can make anything useful for everything) of works..
Mahindra never compromises with build quality...Hats off to Mahindra sir

No advertisement for mahindra scooters made no boom in sales.......
4 years ago
K Ramesh
Dear sir,I am really a fan of mahindra duro, i love my vehicle mahindra duro scooter like anything because of its pick up and its colour shining. Now around 9 years over still its colour is not fade. Looks like new. My bad luck they stopped manufacturing & it's service. Moreover, it's very economical. The main failure of the vehicle is there is no marketing or advertisement like other scooter companies. That's why there is no boom in selling mahindra duro. Any how happened......My best regards to mahindra group.

I bought this bike from vasai it was ok experience. Duro is not good scooter from day 1 wheel alignment issue i was facing and its authorize service center not able repair that. Maintenance cost is too high(money that i wasted within that you can buy another scooter) parts not available. Its service centers are less and very few mechanics can repair bike. Worst bike.
