Mahindra Stallio grounded with gearbox issues!

Mahindra Two Wheelers’ foray into the Indian motorcycle market has suffered a serious setback as their bread-and-butter Stallio economuter motorcycle has been grounded due to serious gearbox issues. While the firm is working feverishly to sort out the gearbox issues as soon as possible, dealers have stopped taking orders for the 110cc Stallio. For it’s part, Mahindra Two Wheelers plans to put the Stallio back on the roads by June 2011.

Also, the motorcycle maker has contacted current owners of the Stallio and has offered to carry out repairs to fix the gearbox gremlin, if any, on the current crop of  5000+ Stallios that are already on the roads. We hope that Mahindra Two Wheelers pulls up it’s socks and sorts out the issues quickly and effectively as the launch of the 300cc Mahindra Mojo is just around the corner.

At this point of time, bad press from the Stallio’s gearbox issues could adversely affect the prospects of the Mojo and this is something that the fledgling two wheeler maker wouldn’t want. Here’s hoping that Mahindra manages to sort out all the issues plaguing the Stallio as the 100-125cc segment continues to be the main volume driver in the motorcycle market.
