And what is with the foot-peg positioning? It appears as if it is designed for a commuter.

I won't say much about the design apart from the fact that I don't like it. They are trying too many things & getting it messed up.

Mahindra is thinking to make that pipe below the tank a signature style statement and let me say it from my rooftop - It is weird, ugly and unappealing and the least said about the ad of the Centuro, the better. Appears as a English C grade movie's trailer

Not a fan of Mahindra or anything like that, but I just googled "Mahindra Mojo" and "Triumph Street Triple" and to my eyes the bikes look equally bad or good (my personal opinion- both look hideous, but to each his own).

What's interesting though is how one design is being lambasted while the other is supposedly an icon, or whatever.

Branding has certainly won!

Agree with you mate no second thoughts on that. Mahindra has suffered in the perception department of Mojo. They should get away with those dumb pipes and rear tail section. It looks like it was robbed off from the old SX Enduro which was released by Bajaj during the late 90's.

Probably Mahindra are confused as to what exactly they want the Mojo to do. Once they are clear with that concept then designs should be better. Its a clear case where the philosophy of making/designing bikes is lost, instead it is turning out to be a money making exercise.

The launch might be closing in. Another test mule spotted near Pune.

Front tire seems to be a PSD and rear looks like some other make! Foot-peg position, single seat which seems to have good back support hints that it should be a comfortable mile muncher!

After unveiling the Mojo 300 in winter 2010, Mahindra Two Wheelers took nearly a year to showcase it again at the 2012 Indian Auto Expo. The motorcycle was scheduled to be launched by the end of 2012. Delays due to unknown reasons have meant that the Mojo 300 is yet to reach production. Now though, official word emerging from Mahindra Two Wheelers suggests a 2014 Auto Expo launch for the Mojo 300, a flagship motorcycle for the brand.



The Mojo 300 that is to be unveiled at the 2014 Auto Expo could feature a new design as Mahindra Two Wheelers is said to be working on a design revamp of the motorcycle. The current-naked look of the motorcycle is likely to be transformed with a full fairing, a feature that sells well among the masses. With the advent of the full-faired KTM RC 375 and the Bajaj Pulsar 375 due shortly, the Mahindra Mojo 300 is likely to face some tough competition at the hustings.

Originally beginning life as a Malaguti MR250, which was developed for Malaguti by engineering design firm Engines Engineering, the Mojo received a heart transplant when Mahindra Two Wheelers took over the rights to take this design to the market. Consequently, the Mojo 300 now features a 292 cc four stroke, single cylinder engine that outputs a peak power of 26 Bhp with peak torque being rated at 24 Nm. This engine is liquid cooled, fuel injected and features a DOHC-4 valve head.

The engine is mated to a five speed manual gearbox. Other interesting components on the Mojo 300 include the upside down front forks - a first for a Mahindra two wheeler - and a monoshock rear supension. As the premium, sports motorcycle segment is seeing a deluge of launches from brands of international repute, the pressure will squarely be on Mahindra Two Wheelers to come up with an attractive price tag that gives the Mojo 300 a fighting chance at the hustings.

Mahindra Two Wheelers has plans of launching 10 new products in the next couple of years. The company is looking at launching a new product once every quarter or so, in a launch blitz of sorts. Mahindra Two Wheelers is also aiming at boosting its volumes through exports. To cater to demand emerging from both the domestic as well as the export market, the two wheeler maker is also looking at increasing capacity at its existing factories.

Found two Mojos being tested near Hosur on 31st Oct. Couldn't snap a good pic as they were leaving a fuel station in a hurry.

The rear end looks somewhat like the Duke, but sound's a lot better than the Duke.

Apparently the design of the fuel tank has changed since it was showcased in Auto Expo 2012.

An old pic of the bike attached for reference & comparison:

Somehow does not look modern for a (latest) street bike, as compared to what competition is offering.

PowerDrift's facebook page says:

"The Tank seems larger, the tubular chassis seems to now sport new styling.
The block seems too small for being 300 cc!
Does that men that this is going to be parallel twin engine? We certainly hope so!
The bike looks complete now & was breezing through traffic with a sweet exhaust note!!"



That alone is enough to get anyone excited.
And the looks arent too bad. It will look something like the miniature version of Speed Triple.
