Mahindra Two-wheelers has updated its website with
the price of the new Mojo 300 ABS. The flagship motorcycle from the two-wheeler
brand of Mahindra & Mahindra Group retails at INR 1,88,800*. Unlike the non-ABS Mahindra Mojo,
the Mahindra Mojo 300 ABS retails in a single variant. It strikes a balance
between the UT300 and the XT300 variants of the old model. It is INR 4,000
costlier than the Mojo XT300 version.
Despite the addition in the ex-showroom
cost, the Mahindra Mojo 300 ABS misses on features such as LED DRLs and
upside-down telescopic forks that were available on the XT300. Instead, the new
iteration uses cost-efficient hardware from the UT300 and features conventional
telescopic front forks to perform the shock absorption tasks. The rear
continues to feature gas-charged monoshock.
The braking department comprises ByBre sourced
callipers that grab 320 mm single disc at the front and 240 mm single rear disc
at the back. The safety net, as on rivals such as the Royal Enfield Classic 350
and the Bajaj Dominar 400 (UG), comprises dual-channel ABS as standard. With the ABS upgrade, the golden
colour for the chassis has been dropped in favour of a more subtle, black
finish. Also, the twin exhaust layout has been changed to a single-sided setup,
which helps the bike reduce weight.
The engine specifications of the Mojo 300 ABS fall
between those of the XT300 and the UT300. The 294.72 cc DOHC, single-cylinder,
liquid-cooled, FI engine churns out 26.30 PS of peak power at 7,500
rpm and 28 Nm of maximum torque at 5,500 rpm. In comparison, the discontinued
XT300's engine made 27.19 PS at 8,000 rpm and 30 Nm at 5,500 rpm. The
UT300's engine delivered 23.11 PS at 7,500 rpm and 25.5 Nm at 5,500
rpm.
Tyre specifications of the Mojo 300 ABS include the
same profile rubber as the UT300. However, unlike the UT300, the Mojo 300 ABS
uses Pirelli-sourced Angel CT Tyres. The new model has started to roll into
dealerships.
