At the heart of the 2018 Mahindra Gusto 125 scooter motorcycle, Mahindra relies on a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.6 HP (6.3 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 69 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 735 mm (28.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,275 mm (50.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
