Complete details of the long-awaited Mahindra Mojo have been released.
Mahindra Two Wheelers Limited’s (MTWL) flagship product is positioned as an affordable yet effortless touring equipment which can embark on some really long journeys. The motorcycle has already successfully completed Bun Burner (1,680 km in 24 hours) ride in 22 hours and Saddle Sore challenge (2,700 km in 36 hours) in 34 hours. The Mojo also completed the Rain and Hilly road task of 2600 km in 40 hours.
Here is a compilation of all there is to know about the latest compact sportsbike contender.
Design
The version of Mahindra Mojo which finally enters production is completely different from the initial concept which was unveiled half a decade ago. Save for the distinct twin circular headlamps, everything else underwent a comprehensive redesign. The headlamps are complemented by eyebrow-styled LED daytime running lights and a minimal fairing. The new fuel tank design which was unveiled at the last year’s Auto Expo is muscular and adds character to the bike. It carries 3D “Mojo” and Mahindra badges.
The final design is completely different from the original design unveiled 5 years ago.The nicely contoured single-piece dual-tone seat has been designed with long distance touring in mind. The silver side panel conceals the frame while the almost non-existent tailpiece hoses LED taillights (12 elements) and a license plate holder. The golden finish for the meaty front fork, twin ornamental tubes below the fuel tank and the swing arm provides a nice contrast to rest of the motorcycle. The stylish twin silencers, petal discs and attractive Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres round off what is a fresh and muscular design.
Dimensions
The Mojo is 2,100 mm long, 800 mm wide, 1165.5 mm tall and has a wheelbase and saddle height of 1,465 mm and 814.5 mm respectively.
