Mahindra
Mojo 300
Mahindra
two wheelers have clearly stated that their much hyped bike, Mojo will hit
Indian roads in 2-3 months. The bike is under final testing and will create a
new segment for itself after debut. Let’s try to know more about this unique
bike.
The
production-ready version of Mojo has not been displayed till now but looking at
its concept version; one thing is sure that Indians have not seen something
like this bike before. The twin circular headlights with golden finish simply
make it look majestic from front. There are LED pilot lamps just on the top of
these headlights.
Mojo
300 has an integrated front cowl and visor which has been designed neatly to
form the aggressive face of this bike. Its black colored rear view mirrors come
with integrated clear lens indicators which makes it look sporty. Its front
forks carry the set of side indicators while they are partly painted in gold
color.
Many
parts of Mojo have been finished with golden color which adds classy touch to
this bike. It has a sharp and attractive front fender which gets extended along
its front forks and partly covers the front tyre of Mojo. The V-shaped styling
of its black colored alloy wheels complements the big disc plate of this bike.
The
body colored engine cowl goes well with the black colored engine and adds
sporty flavour to this bike. Mojo is likely to feature twin chrome finished
exhaust pipes; one on each side. Its extended silver finished side panels gel
well with the color scheme on this bike.
Its
fuel tank has a unique sense of designing which has been never seen before in
any Indian bike. Mojo features a long seat which leads to its rear cowl which
houses a LED tail light. The bike lacks grab rails and looks naked with
extended rear fender and macho tyre at the back.
Mahindra
Mojo 300 will have a combined analogue-digital instrument console with blue
back lit. It will feature an analog tachometer and digital speedometer,
odometer, trip-meter and fuel gauge. You will also notice other LED indicators
in this instrument console.
Mahindra
Mojo is powered by a single cylinder, 4 valve 295cc engine. This liquid-cooled
engine will be generating a maximum power output of 27 bhp to 30 bhp. The
utmost torque output of this DOHC engine will be of 25 Nm-27 Nm. This engine
will be mated with a six-speed manual gearbox with one gear down and five gears
up-shift pattern.
As
per specifications, this engine is more powerful than its rivals. The bike is
likely to be on the faster side and may even beat its rivals in terms of
acceleration and performance. Mojo may reach the top speed of 150km/h. The
bike may do 0-100 km/h in less than 12 seconds. Mahindra has to opt for
well-matched gear ratios so that rider can use the power of this engine
properly.There are least chances that anyone will complain about engine’s
refinement as it’s a DOHC engine which is prepared to stay calm when rev hard.
Mojo will be tuned keeping Indian road conditions in mind which mean you can
expect instant throttle response with less gear shifts. Similar to other
Mahindra bikes, we expect the gearbox to be on the smoother side which helps a
lot when you drive bike in city traffic. Mahindra Mojo is yet to be tested on
our Indian roads so we are not sure about its fuel economy but yes, you can
expect anything around 30 km/ltr from this bike.
The
long and well fabricated seat of Mahindra Mojo will provide you comfortable
journeys. The rear set foot pegs will allow you to slightly bend forward to get
into a sporty riding posture. The vibration less handle bar will offer you firm
palm grip which is quite helpful on highways. It’s a long and spacious bike
which is perfect for long trips. To know more about its comfort enhancing
features, we will have to wait for its launch. Most probably, there will be no
storage space in Mojo. As far as safety is concerned, its pass button and
powerful twin headlights ensures your safety while you drive at night.
Mahindra
Mojo will feature best in class suspension system which will have racing bikes
inspired inverted front telescopic forks and gas charged Mono shock with swing
arm at the back. The bike is likely to feature twin petal disc brakes of 320 mm
at its front and rear single disc brake of 240 mm. It’s not sure if Mahindra
will launch the ABS variant of Mojo in India. Mojo will be a long bike with an
expected wheelbase of 1450 mm which will bring stability to this bike. Its
ground clearance of 160 mm will improve its turning abilities at slow speeds.
The fatty tyres of Mojo will provide good grip of roads while its suspension
system will enable it to digest any type of pothole. The bike is likely to be a
good off road performer with superb handling and ride quality. It will be
interesting to see how Mahindra will prepare Mojo to steer through the city
traffic. It has to be a light handler to succeed in India with accurate braking
system as our roads are getting crowded day by day.
We
will have to wait for its launch to know the actual price tag of Mojo which
will decide its future in India. Of course, it will be a unique sports bike
which will attract many buyers. It looks catchy, comes with modern features and
has an extremely powerful, refined engine. If Mahindra can keep its price below
INR 1.5 lakhs then we feel it will be a complete value for money bike. Mahindra
has to hit the bull’s eye to make this bike successful in India.
