Mahindra Mojo UT300 Carb Bookings Open; Launch At Auto Expo

Mahindra 2Wheelers has been working on a cost effective version of the Mojo and the model has now started arriving at dealerships. The bike was recently spied sans any camouflage and reveals all the changes over the standard version. In fact, the cost effective model has been badged as the Mahindra Mojo UT300 and skimps on a few features. Certain dealers are accepting bookings for a token amount for Rs. 5000 while prices are expected to be around Rs. 1.3-1.4 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Mojo UT300 will be making its way to the market as early as next month and is expected to be launched at the Auto Expo 2018.

The Mahindra Mojo UT300 carb version has been in development for a while now and was spotted back in late 2016. The latest images though give a complete look at what's amiss on the model. One of the biggest changes include the absence of fuel-injection. The 295 cc single-cylinder engine continues to remain the same but power and torque outputs should see a dip while retaining the same 6-speed shifter. In comparison, the standard version makes 27 bhp at 8000 rpm and 30 Nm of peak torque at 5500 rpm. The motor comes paired to a 6-speed gearbox and has a kerb weight of 182 kg.

Another big change are the new telescopic front forks on the Mojo UT300 replacing the USD units from the standard Mojo while the monoshock unit remains the same at the rear. The bike also makes do with MRF tyres instead of the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II rubber available on the standard version. The Mojo UT300 will should see a substantial reduction in weight as well.

Other changes include the absence of LED DRLs from the front cowl, black finished twin-bars instead of gold, and a single-side exhaust instead of the dual unit. Other cycle parts continue to be the same.

The standard Mahindra Mojo (expected to be now badged as the XT300 now) is priced at Rs. 1.7 lakh (ex-showroom) and the new model will be a good Rs. 30,000-35,000 cheaper. Mahindra is yet to confirm the launch date for the Mojo UT300 but we do expect the model to go on sale very soon. The bike maker sells the Mojo via exclusive dealerships and the UT300 will be sold via the same outlets.
