Mahindra Two Wheelers Division has launched a more
affordable version of the Mojo. Called the Mahindra Mojo UT300, the motorcycle
has gone on sale at an introductory price of INR 1.39 lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi.
The introductory price is valid until this month,
post which the bike will cost INR 1.49 lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi. The ‘UT’
stands for Universal Tourer. Mahindra has retained the crucial touring-friendly
elements but has compromised on certain parts to save on costs. The front end
gets traditional fork with fork brace for additional stability. The rear comes
with a gas-charged off-set monoshock.
The brand has ditched the Pirelli tyres in favour of
more affordable, longer-lasting MRF Nylogrip Zappers measuring 110/70 – 17 at
the front and 140/70 – 17 at the rear. They have retained the twin-pod
headlamps and analogue-digital combo cluster. However, the LED DRLs are missing
on this bike.
The Mahindra Mojo UT300 employs a 294.72 cc single
cylinder mill with liquid cooling and carburettor. The DOHC engine puts out
23.1 PS of power at 7,500 rpm, and 25.2 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. The engine
pairs with a same 6-speed transmission as the fully-loaded Mojo. The engine in
the UT300 makes 4 PS and 4.8 Nm less than the top-end Mojo. The bike is
available in Volcano Red and Ocean Blue colours.
