The Mahindra Mojo is all set to make a comeback with a BS6-compliant heart. Here’s what you could expect from the upcoming tourer
Mahindra’s flagship tourer is back! The brand has teased what looks like the Mojo’s more affordable UT variant via its social media channels. While a BS6 motor is pretty much a given, here’s what else you could expect from the upcoming tourer.
Why the UT variant?
The transition from BS4 to BS6 norms already takes a toll on the bike’s price thanks to the addition of fuel-injection, a remapped ECU and a larger catalytic converter. More often than not, this increases the price of the bike by approximately Rs 7,000 to 10,000. So bringing in the 2019 Mahindra Mojo 300 would render the bike an expensive proposition. The UT 300, on the other hand, is a cost-effective solution as it does away with the premium USD fork, Pirelli tyre, and the twin exhaust muffler design.
Minor Design Tweaks:
On the styling front, expect the Mojo to come with minor design tweaks and a couple of new paint options. The biggest giveaway of the bike in the teaser being the UT variant are the rim tapes. However, there is a possibility of Mahindra launching the top-spec variant with contrast-coloured wheels.
Revived Performance:
The BS4 Mojo UT 300 variant had a lower performance output as it used a carburettor instead of fuel injection in the top-spec model. It went from making 28PS and 30Nm of torque to a rather disappointing 23PS and 25.2Nm. That said, we could expect Mahindra to revert to the original power figures with the reintroduction of fuel-injection.
Retained Underpinnings:
Expect the hardware to be carried over from the older UT model, especially the twin-tube frame with a conventional telescopic fork and a monoshock. The bike is likely to ditch its Pirelli Angel CT tyres for MRF Nylogrip Zappers to keep costs in check. Anchoring the bike will be petal disc brakes at both ends paired with dual-channel ABS.
Expected Price:
Earlier, the Mahindra Mojo UT 300 retailed at Rs 1.65 lakh. But the additional cost of BS6 components could push the price of the 2020 Mojo UT 300 between Rs 1.75 lakh and 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom). Expect the bike to be launched towards the end of this month. Once here, it’ll compete against bikes like the Bajaj Dominar 250, Royal Enfield Classic 350 and the Suzuki Gixxer 250 in the booming 250-300cc space.

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
1 - Under Rated Masterpiece
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.
2 - Best Bike In India Mahindra Mojo 300
Mahindra Mojo 300 bs6 bike is the best bike in India, not for only students it's for everyone. It's comfortable for everyone and it's a really amazing bike. Also, the budget of this bike is not much as compared to other 300 cc bikes.
6 1 - Why I must choose Mojo instead of Dominar 400
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.
