After providing a plethora of premium features on its flagship offering, it seems as if Mahindra is changing its strategy with the Mojo now. The company is working on a new variant of the bike which will be significantly cheaper than the existing model. The more affordable version of the Mojo has been spotted in public during its test runs and there are some major changes on the bike which can make its price much lesser than the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the upcoming Bajaj VS400.
The test mule was spotted featuring regular telescopic forks instead of the beefy USD forks that come with the existing Mahindra Mojo. Also, the company is going to eliminate the left exhaust muffler from the upcoming trim. The premium Pirelli Diablo Rosso II rubber might get replaced with MRF tyres and the disc brake diameter might also get reduced to cut costs. Some reports claim that the affordable version of the bike could also ditch the EFI system as well as the dual headlamp unit, which could further reduce the cost significantly.
After all these changes, Mahindra will be able to price this new bike very aggressively in the market. We can't say whether the company will keep the name “Mojo” or launch it with new branding. However, the new model will directly challenge the Royal Enfield motorcycles, which are the most preferred touring motorcycle options in the country. So, it will be an interesting battle to watch as the other Indian manufacturer Bajaj is also entering the ring soon with its trusted Pulsar brand. Now, a major advantage of these offerings depends on the pricing, so let's wait for the next update.

- Perfect Mixture of Touring, Cruiser, and a Sport bike.
I like my Mojo bike because of its aggressive look and style. it's a rare bike to see in public. The cons of the bike are that it is very heavy so for those who want to lean in the corners it is not a good option for you other than that it's a perfect mixture of Touring, Cruiser, and Sportbike.
6 - Nice Bike
Nice bike and it has a powerful engine
1 - Excellent Bike.
It's an amazing bike with a huge fuel tank of 21 litres and Pirelli tyres provide very well on road grip even in wet conditions. I have driven this bike for 35000 kilometres and it still performs like a new bike. It is a very powerful bike and great for highway touring. The service and maintenance cost is very low.
2 3 - Most Underrated Bike
Mojo is one of the most underrated bikes in the touring segment that suffered kindof 'step behavior' from the company. Being ridden it for almost 17k in a year, the only issue faced to date is lesser service center across North India. The bike is undoubtedly one of the best manufactures in India. The color variants are really cool. High ground clearance, Pirelli stock tyres( would recommend upgrading to Scorpion STR ) are really helpful, making it both a city street bike as well as a worthy off-roader. It goes easily on any type of road. Only of Mahindra would lay some more focus over it, the bike is a hidden gem from the public.
6 - Mahindra MOJO
Wicked looking bike few may like and few may hate, riding comfort is really good, the engine is very refined compared to many Indian bikes available in the market, I can say the best-refined engine. The drawback would be the breaks and no ABS, most of the weight is on the front end of the bike. Torque and power are good, awesome to cruise on highways (120 to 130 km's) without strain. Mahindra needs to market the bike properly.
