Rumour: Mahindra Mojo to be sold via exclusive dealerships

Mahindra 2 wheelers will reportedly be opening exclusive 'Mojo' dealerships to sell their flagship motorcycle - the Mahindra Mojo. These outlets will be dedicated to selling the Mojo, while other regular Mahindra 2 wheeler dealerships will be responsible for the automaker's budget range of bikes.

The Mojo has been an important product for Mahindra, ever since it was first conceptualised. The company had first showcased the bike at the 2010 Auto Expo, and spent the following 5 years in testing and prototyping stages to ensure that it ticks all the right boxes post its launch. The Mojo has received satisfactory response in the Indian market, and is expected to be the flagship product of the brand for the next two years.

The company is now planning to provide a more premium and exclusive experience to customers who are planning to buy the Mojo. This is the primary reason behind opening a dedicated chain of dealerships to serve Mojo customers. Moreover, Mahindra has openly expressed its aim to focus on premium and niche motorcycle segments in the Indian market. As a result, the company might discontinue the Centuro and Gusto range of two-wheelers in the future, and rebrand the existing dealerships to sell the Mojo.

Moreover, to further benefit from the Mojo brand name, Mahindra will be launching more variants of the bike. In addition to the Adventure Tourer and Scrambler versions showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo, Mahindra will also be launching an entry-level stripped down variant of the Mojo. This new variant will come with various scrapped down features, including a single silencer, carburettor setup instead of fuel injection, conventional telescopic forks instead of up-side down units and MRF tyres instead of Pirellis. This new entry-level variant will make the Mojo a bit more affordable.

Mahindra is also planning to organize an annual festival for its Mojo customers. The first such festival is expected to take place in 2017.

Mahindra Mojo with ABS spotted testing

Mahindra has started testing an ABS-equipped version of the Mojo motorcycle. The bike has been spotted at a parking lot with testing equipment wired to it.

The Mojo uses 320 mm and 240 mm disc brakes at the front and rear respectively. The ABS unit is reported to have been sourced from Continental. The system is expected to reduce the bike's stopping distance and improve its stability on braking.

The addition of the ABS unit is a good step from Mahindra, considering that the government is likely to make ABS compulsory on all two-wheelers over 125cc by April 2018.

The Mojo is powered by a 295cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke engine that develops 27 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 30 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. The bike has a 21 litre fuel tank, dual exhaust pipes, headlamps with DRLs, an inverted fork suspension at the front and a monoshock at the rear.

Mahindra Mojo bookings open at Rs. 10,000

From highly anticipated to highly frustrating, the Mahindra Mojo's launch has been delayed long enough for a second generation model to come through. The spy shots continue to pour in and BHPian neil.jericho has already had an opportunity to test a pre-production vehicle (Read about it here). Dealers have now confirmed that bookings for the Mojo have been opened at Rs. 10,000/-.

Deliveries of the motorcycle will be on a first-come-first-serve basis. Sources say that Mahindra has allocated a very limited number of units all over India (approximately 100 in the first batch) with dealers in tier-I cities such as Mumbai and Delhi receiving delivery first. In all likelihood, Mahindra is looking to test the waters before going all out. Many dealers have stated that the motorcycle has been ready for nearly a year, but Mahindra wanted to see how buyers respond to the Gusto, given that it is in a faster moving segment. We certainly hope Mahindra doesn't dampen the Mojo's chances by selling the product at unreasonable waiting periods.

Test ride vehicles may arrive in the 3rd week of September (if not sooner) with the price announcement expected at the same time. Deliveries are expected to begin around the 1st week of October.

Rumour: Mahindra Mojo enters trial production

Mahindra Two Wheelers had announced the Mojo 300 motorcycle in 2010. It showcased the bike at the 2012 Auto Expo and once again at the 2014 Auto Expo. Last year, the company displayed the bike at a dealer meeting as well. All these years, the bike has been seen on tests at various places in the country. While enthusiasts have been waiting eagerly, Mahindra has refrained from launching the product. Now, media reports suggest that Mahindra has finally started trial production of the Mojo.

The launch of the bike is rumoured to be in June 2015.

The Mojo is equipped with twin headlamps, a cowl with integrated day-time running lights, an instrument cluster comprising of a digital speedometer with an analogue tachometer, a shift light and low fuel indicator, LED tail lamps and twin exhausts. Suspension duties are carried out by an inverted fork and a monoshock at the front and rear respectively. The bike is powered by a 295 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that develops 27 bhp @ 8000 rpm and 25 Nm of torque @ 6500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

With Mahindra delaying the launch of the Mojo for so long, we fear that the bike could have become outdated already.
