We’re riding the highly anticipated Mahindra Mojo tomorrow, so expect a detailed review soon. In the interim, technical specifications of Mahindra’s first crack at proper motorcycling have been revealed.
The Mojo will be powered by a 292cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke, liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine, which is good for 27 bhp and 29.41 Nm of peak torque. Power will be harnessed via a six-speed transmission. The Mojo gets a one-into-two dual exhaust system, while the motorcycle is likely to reach a claimed top speed of 165kph, and is expected to deliver 30-35 kpl.
Supporting its touring credentials will be a 21-litre fuel tank, and an upright riding stance, while the Mojo will ride on 17-inch wheels wrapped around Pirelli Diablo Rosso tyres. Rapid declaration can be ensured courtesy disc brakes all around, measuring 320 mm up front and 240 mm at the rear. Suspension duties are handled by upside down front forks, and a swing-arm mounted mono-shock at the rear.
Other tricks up the Mojo’s sleeve include a lap-timer on the a part digital instrument cluster, and an on-board computer that limits the engine to 5,000rpm if the bike heats up. The Mojo will offer a choice of three body colours. A launch is expected on October 16, with a purported sticker price of INR 1.8 lakh. Bookings have already commenced at INR 10,000. Stay tuned!

Mahindras seem to have understood the Indian biker's craze for two silencers – one on either side of the rear wheel. The proof of this craze – any number of modified Bullets with a 'Y' joint near the exhaust outlet on the cylinder head and two silencers, one or either side; maybe to look like a 'Twin'. As far as the real twin cylinder bikes are concerned, nowadays most of them are fitted with a 'two-into-one' silencer, which is actually supposed to enhance performance. The low pressure created in one large common silencer will scavenge each cylinder more efficiently than two individual silencers. However that maybe, it cheats all Indian bikers who just adore two silencers – one on either side (and to hell with the number of cylinders!). Mahindra seems to have understood and acted upon this sentiment. (Remember the good old 250 cc Jawa / Yezdi old yore? Another bike with a one into two exhaust system!)
What is missing in this bike is the “JETTY”. All other new bikes has added “BIKINI” with out “JETTY”. Better Mahindra removed “Bikini” as it was looking like Jelly transplants. Now the person sitting on the PILLION will be SHOWERED with all human feces from Indian Roads. If You watch carefully the PHOTOS even the upper surface of the tail lamp is simply covered with all the filth from the Indian Roads. HA… HA… HA… HA…….. It is really a Great Bike. Detergent Companies will make a lots of money!!!!
We will, soon
Please upload the review of Mojo asap !
