The upcoming motorcycle has been teased on Mahindra’s social media channels
- Powered by a fuel-injected and BS6-compliant engine.
- Mahindra is likely to launch the Mojo UT 300 version first.
- The bike will feature dual-channel ABS.
- India launch likely in the coming few weeks.
We thought the Mahindra Mojo has been laid to rest given its rather adventurous (development time) and lacklustre (sales) Indian two-wheeler journey. But, like SRK’s iconic dialogue ‘picture abhi baaki hai mere dost’ Mahindra isn’t done with its flagship bike, yet. It has now shared an image on social media confirming the Mojo BS6 will be launched soon. And from the teaser image, it looks like the BS6 version of the Mojo UT 300 variant.
Our readers will remember that the Mahindra Mojo UT 300 was a desperate attempt by the brand to make the bike more popular with a massive Rs 25,000 price cut. Unlike the Mojo XT 300, the new variant ditched the USD fork, fuel injection, Pirelli tyre, and one exhaust muffler to be more cost effective, sadly it was too little, too late and couldn’t revive sales. With the introduction of the Jawa brand, which uses a motor based on the Mojo, it seemed that Mahindra would focus its attention on the classic marquee, however, this new announcement changes things.

As for the 2020 Mahindra Mojo BS6, we expect its styling to be similar to its predecessor with minor tweaks and maybe some new colour options. In the teaser pic, we can see rim tapes or it could be a contrasting finish on the alloy wheels. The 295cc liquid-cooled motor on the UT 300 saw a major drop in power as it went for a carburettor. It produced 23PS and 25.2Nm of torque, in comparison the Mojo XT 300’s engine pumped out 28PS and 30Nm of torque. Since the new engine is fuel-injected to meet the new BS6 emission norms, we are hoping that the Mojo UT 300 BS6 will be more powerful than its predecessor. Also Read: Mahindra Mojo First Ride Review
Underpinnings will be carried forward from the older bike. The twin-tube frame is suspended on a telescopic fork and a monoshock. It’s likely to run on MRF tyres to keep cost under check. Stopping power will be provided by disc brakes on either end with dual-channel ABS.
With action in the 250-300cc space gaining momentum, Mahindra will be hoping that its touring-focused motorcycle can find a spot for itself. But given the more modern options such as the new Bajaj Dominar 250, Royal Enfield Classic 350 and the Suzuki Gixxer 250, it’s an even more uphill task for the Mojo than 2015, when it made its debut. The Mahindra Mojo UT 300 was on sale for Rs 1.65 lakh and we expect the 2020 Mojo UT 300 to be priced between Rs 1.75 and 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom).

Next level of bike riding and too much fun comfort for riding on high speed bike lanes so was good and so much love this bike
As an owner and a fan, since I was Kid, Mojo is the best bike in my opinion, sadly Indian market and people couldn't see the masterpiece, yes I agree service is a rough part of this bike, but for enthusiasts and to get a feel of the most comfortable and good run, this is undoubtedly best bike, people usually give a wrong opinion about looks by seeing it in photos but in reality, it has one of the best road presence.Read More

I was looking for a new bike that I could use for at least 10 yrs, so the bike build quality/reliability was my first criteria, followed by comfort for long-distance touring and a powerful, torquey engine. Test Ride before finalizing:- I test rode the following bikes - Apache 200 RTR, Himalayan, Duke 200, Gixxer 250, Xpulse 200, Dominar 400 and Mahindra Mojo. Here is the reason why I think Mahindra Mojo is better than all these other bikes. (I purchased the Mojo BS4 ABS model in March 2020). 1) No doubt Mahindra Mojo is less in power when compared to Dominar 400, but Mojo’s over build quality, engine refinement and comfort is simply a notch above. I have ridden my bike for more than 10,000 km now and even now the bike still looks and feels brand new. No suspension squeaks, or from brakes etc, no vibrating plastics (due to maximum metal parts used) while riding. 2) The engine in Mojo is butter smooth, very torquey and also free-revving. At 4k RPM the bike hits 70kms and at 6k RPM it will easily cross 110kms. Since the bike has 6 gears I can effortlessly cruise and also get decent mileage or around 33 – 35kmpl. The petrol tank is also full metal (21 litres). 3) The front fork is now telescopic from the earlier USD but it is very sturdy plus comes with fork braces which I have not seen in any other bikes. I have gone over potholes at 80kms speed and the bike did not wobble and was very stable. Mojo has a unique rear suspension setup. The rear mono-shock is actually positioned slightly towards the left side (Offset like is some premium sportbikes). And most other bikes have 5 or 6 stage settings, but Mojo’s rear suspension has infinite adjustment as per your liking. 4) Also, Mojo’s chassis is double tubular frame type, hence the bike is solid as a rock. The exhaust sound from the single stainless steel stock silencer is just music to the ears. It along with the twin-pod headlight setup is a head-turner for sure 5) The bike seat is also very comfortable for both rider and pillion. The handlebar is also raised a bit and wide. The footpegs are positioned in such a way that when you sit on the bike, your back is straight and your legs are neither bent back nor stretched forward. It is a perfect rider triangle, which is very much required if you have back issues or want to ride long-distance. I have done 200+ km non-stop on the Bangalore-Hassan highway without any discomfort. I have now also started using the bike to commute to the office and riding on the ring road is so much better. 6) Mahindra Mojo also organizes regular free check-up/service camps. Spare parts are also not very costly and so is the service cost. Recommended Oil change interval is 5k km (1.25 litres) which is very decent for a 295cc engine. Air filters, oil filters, brake pads, chains and sprockets are very affordable. 7) The Mojo Tribe members are very knowledgeable, and even the showroom dealers, as well as service representatives, are very supportive. Mahindra Mojo also organizes its annual anniversary rides for fellow riders to ride together, meet and have a good time. This experience is very important and honestly, On the negative side, I wish the light throw would have been better from the twin-pod headlight setup. I have upgraded the bulbs to the higher wattage and it has solved this issue. Some of the riders have installed aux light/fog lamps to increase the night visibility. To conclude, what I suggest is you need to see the Mojo in-person to feel its strong built quality, fit and finish. Also, you must take it on a test ride to experience the comfort it offers and its refined, torquey engine. It really is a far superior motorcycle to any other in this price segment (between 2.5L - 2.7L on-road). It makes you feel like the owner of a premium motorbike with a unique charm and also gives you that commanding road presence. Read More
