Mahindra Mojo to get a stripped-down entry-level variant

Mahindra 2 wheelers is planning to introduce a new entry-level variant of the Mojo. An early prototype model of the stripped-down variant has recently been spotted in Lonavala.

The new base model of the Mojo comes with regular telescopic suspension at the front, instead of the Up-Side Down (USD) forks found on the models currently on sale. Additionally, the new lower-spec Mojo also misses on the left-side exhaust canister. The company might further replace the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres by more affordable MRF units. The big twin-pod headlamp design might also be dropped in favour of a simpler arrangement to keep the costs down.

A closer look at the images leaked also point towards a carbureted setup of the engine block, instead of the fuel injected arrangement found on the current bike. This might reduce the power output of the entry-level model. But since the overall weight will be reduced by ditching the left-side silencer canister and the front headlamp fairing, Mahindra might be able to offset this reduction in power.

Currently, the Mahindra Mojo prices start at Rs. 1.63 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). With the above reductions, the company is expected to reduce the price by around Rs. 30,000.
