The rising two wheeler manufacturer of the Indian market, Mahindra Two Wheelers is working on a new 300cc engine for Mojo 300 at their Pune R&D facility. First Prototype of the bike was showcased in winters of 2010 with its commuter Stallio. After that, the bike showcased again at the 2012 Auto Expo. Even after a long span of time, the company is not launching the bike, although spy shots of the test bike are coming out. So, what is the reason of this delay in launch?
Here is your answer, the previuos model of the bike was totally developed in Italy, which might cost very high according to the Indian market. So, the company is redeveloping the bike in its Indian R&D centre at Pune to cut down the cost, while maintaining the performance and quality. The new powertrain of the bike gets benefit of experience of the company's MotoGP racing Team.
In an interview with Mr. Viren Popli, Executive Vice President, Mahindra Two Wheelers, we asked about delay in the launch of Mojo 300. He said, "The Mojo when it was unveiled was just a concept. The masses were taken aback by the design but ever since then we at Mahindra Two Wheelers have been making multiple changes to the motorcycle. Our Pune plant is developing a special 300cc motor that is being greatly influenced by the MotoGP Mahindra Racing Team. The Bike still has a lot of progress and development to go through. The bike is still under rigorous testing but there is no definite time scale as to when we can have the bike displayed for the public."

According to the statement, Mahindra Mojo 300 will still take a long time for debut in the market, while just around 2 months have been left for the 2014 Indian Auto Expo. So, we can't expect the bike to be launched at the event, however the company might launch updated Rodeo RZ scooter there.
Mahindra MOJO XT 300 User Reviews
- 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.Read More6
- Nice BikeNice bike and it has a powerful engine1
- 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.Read More2 3
- Most Underrated BikeMojo 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.Read More6
- Mahindra MOJOWicked 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.Read More2
