Besides the fit and finish and refinement, another area where the Yezdi misses out is in mid range and top end engine performance.

BHPian AlQuazi recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

A close friend has the Yezdi and I have had the good fortune of clocking many a miles on this machine. So much so that the wife now prefers the Yezdi Adventure over the Mojo!

• The suspension just gobbles up anything you throw at it! I am especially a fan of how well this thing handles despite the 200kg kerb weight and larger tyres.

• I find it much easier to push it around in parking lots compared to the Mojo, which is probably because of the lower Cg and lower seat height vis a vis the latter.

• My cousin owns a Dominar. I can tell you straight up, the Domi doesn't hold a candle to the Adventure's handling (both in curves and in the city) !

• IMHO, besides the fit and finish and refinement, another area where the Yezdi misses out is in mid range and top end engine performance. Despite claiming the same power figures (30 BHP and 29 Nm) as my BS3 Mojo and a larger bore (334 cc vs 293 cc), the Mojo still outruns the Yezdi on the open highway!

• Despite these minor shortcomings, I can't help having thoughts of replacing the Mojo with the Adventure (Such blasphemy, I know! ).

• The Yezdi is more effortless to live with on a daily basis. It handles bad roads and ghats much better.

• Yes, for long stretches of open highway, the Mojo is less tiring (due to the better top end and refinement). But once the roads turn bad, all attributes of the Yezdi take over!

Here's a pic with the two on a recent ride to Pawna Dam. We went two up on both bikes and the ladies simply refused to get on the Mojo's pillion seat thereafter!

An electric version of the Mahindra Mojo has been spotted in Bangalore. The uncamouflaged test mule was seen parked outside the Bosch factory.

The Mojo e-bike looks similar to the petrol powered version. It has a twin-barrel headlamp and upside-down forks at the front. The electric motor and battery pack might be concealed under the dual-tone side fairing. The rear sprocket assembly has been replaced with a belt drive that is commonly used on electric 2-wheelers. There is no exhaust or gear shift lever on the bike but it does have a front disc brake.

Technical details of the electric bike are still unknown. Besides, there has been no official word from Mahindra regarding the Mojo e-bike yet.

The standard Mojo is powered by a 295cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled petrol engine that produces 27 BHP and 30 Nm of torque and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. In March 2018, Mahindra had introduced the carburetted Mojo UT300 with an overall output of 22.7 BHP and 25.2 Nm.

Mahindra is gearing up to re-introduce the Jawa brand in India. According to a recent media report, the Jawa bikes will use the existing 300 cc engine platform that currently powers the Mahindra Mojo.

Mahindra plans to pit the Jawa and BSA branded bikes against Royal Enfield in India. In the past, these motorcycles have been known for their 250 and 350 cc engines. Reports suggest that the 300 cc, single-cylinder, liquid cooled engine that powers the Mojo is based on a scalable platform, which would allow the brand to develop smaller or higher capacity versions of the engine. 

Lacklustre sales of the Mojo mean that the engine platform has been underutilized. Offering variations of this engine on the upcoming Jawa motorcycles would help Mahindra recover the money invested in developing it. Also, utilizing an existing engine would reduce the development costs for the Jawa brand. 

Mahindra recently launched a carburetted version of the 300 cc engine on the Mojo UT300 - a cut-price variant of the Mojo XT300 which comes with a fuel-injected engine. The engine produces 22.7 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 25.2 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm. That said, it is still unclear whether Jawa would use the carburetted version or the latter on its bikes.

Mahindra has launched a new variant of the Mojo named UT300 at prices starting from Rs. 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). As an introductory offer, Mahindra is offering a discount of Rs. 10,000 on the UT300 until March 31, 2018.

The Mojo UT300 is placed below the standard Mojo which is now named as the XT300. In terms of its dimensions, the Mojo UT300 measures 2,115 mm in length, 800 mm in width and 1,150 mm in height. Its wheelbase is 1,460 mm which is 5 mm shorter than the XT300 however seat height has increased to 818 mm. The bike weighs 163.5 kg (dry weight) and comes with a 21-litre fuel tank. It is available in 2 monotone colour options Volcano Red and Ocean Blue. 

The Mojo UT300 looks identical to the XT300 however it loses out on some features. Instead of upside-down front forks, the more affordable variant gets conventional telescopic forks in the front and a monoshock in the rear. It has a digital instrument panel and twin-pod headlamps but lacks LED DRLs. It also loses the twin-exhaust setup and instead, it gets a single side-mounted exhaust. 

The Mojo UT300 is powered by the same 295 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine however, instead of fuel injection it gets a conventional carburettor. The engine produces 22.7 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 25.2 Nm of peak torque @ 5,500 rpm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Braking is handled by a 320 mm petal type disc in the front and a 240 mm disc in the rear. To keep costs down, Mahindra does not offer the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres from the XT300 on the UT300. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels shod with 110/70 and 140/70 section MRF Nylogrip Zapper tyres in the front and rear respectively. 

Mahindra is gearing up to introduce a cheaper variant of the Mojo motorcycle called the UT300. According to a media report, some dealerships in southern India have started accepting bookings for the bike. 

According to spy images, the entry-level variant of the Mojo misses out on some features. Primarily, it gets conventional forks instead of the upside-down type and the twin-exhaust setup has been replaced with a single, side-mounted exhaust. The Mojo UT300 also gets a twin-barrel headlamp cluster without the LED DRLs. The images have also indicated that the bike will be offered with MRF tyres instead of the more expensive Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres.

The UT300 will use the same 292 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine as the standard Mojo. However, instead of fuel-injection, it will get a carburettor, which is likely to bring down the engine's power and torque outputs. The fuel-injected version makes 27 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 30 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm.

The standard Mahindra Mojo is priced at Rs. 1.72 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Mojo UT300 is expected to be priced lower than it and the booking amount for the bike starts from Rs. 5,000.

Mahindra Two Wheelers has confirmed that it will be opening exclusive dealerships for selling the Mojo motorcycle in India. The company has also released an official sketch that offers a glimpse of how these new dealerships are expected to look like.

Mahindra has further revealed that the first dealership will be opened this month in Bangalore. The brand-specific dealership network will eventually be expanded to various other cities across the country.

The Mojo was launched in 2015 and is currently priced at Rs. 1.70 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Mahindra wants to offer a more exclusive experience to buyers paying this premium price. In addition to the Mojo, Mahindra is currently also selling the Centuro commuter motorcycle and Gusto, Rodeo & Duro gearless scooters, which will continue to be sold through the regular dealerships.

The Mahindra Mojo is powered by a 295cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that churns out 27 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 30 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm, while being mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Stopping power comes from 320 mm and 240 mm disc brakes at the front and rear, respectively. The bike competes against the Bajaj Dominar 400, Royal Enfield Himalayan and the KTM Duke 390.

Mahindra 2-Wheelers has introduced a new matte Sunburst Yellow colour to its flagship motorcycle - the Mojo. This new colour addition has taken the count of available paint shade options to four - black, white, red and yellow.

Mahindra had showcased the new colour at the 2016 Auto Expo. This bright shade of yellow adorns the fuel tank, headlamp cowl, radiator shrouds and the front and rear fender. Other body panels are finished in black to give the bike a dual-tone paint scheme.

The Mojo is powered by a 295 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that develops 27 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 30 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm. It is paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The Indian automaker had launched a tourer edition of the Mojo last month. A new stripped down entry-level variant is also reported to be in the offing.

Mahindra Two Wheelers has launched a Tourer Edition of the Mojo motorcycle. As the name suggests, this special edition is aimed at touring enthusiasts. Mahindra has given it added accessories for touring purposes. The bike is priced at Rs. 1,88,850 (ex-showroom, Delhi), which is around Rs. 19,000 more than the regular Mojo.

Pre-installed accessories on the Mojo Tourer Edition include a 13-litre magnetic tank bag that is held in place with 4 rare-earth magnets, saddle bags that cumulatively account for 38 litres of storage capacity, and a mobile holder with 360-degree rotational adjustment. A front guard has been added to protect the fuel tank, radiator and engine. There are matte black powder-coated pannier mounts at the back to carry luggage on long distance trips, and 20W foglamps have been added on both sides of the headlamp.

Mahindra is also offering a tourer jacket as an introductory benefit to customers of the Mojo Tourer Edition. Mechanically, no changes have been made to the bike. It continues to be powered by a 295 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that develops 27 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 30 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm.

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.
