After unveiling the facelifted Rodeo RZ on 7th June to the
media, Mahindra has finally launched the scooter on sale. However,
Rodeo RZ would be launched in a phase wide manner across the country and
the current launch is limited to South India.
The Rodeo RZ is powered by a 125cc Z Series engine which has been
tuned to offer better pick-up remaining frugal at the same time. Rodeo
RZ gets a the Dual Curve Digital Ignition (DCDI) similar to Duro DZ,
which Mahindra claims provides better fuel efficiency.
Here are the prominent features of the scooter (as claimed by Mahindra)
- ARAI certified fuel efficiency of 59.38 kmpl
- 7 interchangeable backlit panel Digital console with tachometer, tripmeter, acceleration timer, odometer, speedometer, over-speed alarm, fuel gauge, clock and side stand buzzer.
- Body Color mirrors

RZ in Chennai.
PRICE: (Ex-Showroom)
- Andhra Pradesh : Rs 49,575
- Kerala : Rs 49,410
- Tamil Nadu: Rs 50,710
- Karnataka: Rs 48,930
When we compare these prices with its competitors, they seem to be
very much around what others are priced at. However, this might mean
that Rodeo RZ might have lost its value-for-money preposition, 2k lesser
than others and it could have made a bigger impact.
The biggest issues reported by customers were that of inconsistent
fuel efficiency and low ground clearance for the erstwhile Rodeo.
However, Mahindra seems to be confident of the product this time and we
hope that the scooter delivers whatever is promised.
