1. Engine and Chassis
Powering the Mahindra Mojo is a 295cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, which delivers 27bhp and 30Nm of torque through a six-speed transmission. It is built around a twin tube frame with a co-axial mounting for the engine and gets unique touches like exposed 'golden ribs' and spherical taper roller bearings. It also gets a one into two exhaust system, a first in its class feature.
2. Styling
The overall design and styling of the Mahindra Mojo is quite quirky. The air vents, the engine cowl, the raked front forks and the tapering rear section of the bike on their own are quite exquisitely designed. However, there is a certain degree of disproportionality in these components which gives the bike an ostentatious look. And though we won't exactly call it ugly, the massive bikini fairing and the twin-pod headlamp do give it the look of an owl!
3. Suspension
The Mahindra Mojo gets the state of the art 43mm USD forks with a triple clamp setup at the front and a gas-charged mono shock in the rear. Mounted at a 25-degree angle, the rear mono shock gets an internal floating piston that separates the gas and oil.
4. Brakes
Stopping power for the Mahindra Mojo is provided by a 320mm disc with a four-pot radial caliper at the front and a 240mm disc with a two-pot radial caliper in the rear. The hardware is supplied by Spanish component manufacturer, J. Juan and has been developed especially for the Mojo with inputs from Mahindra's Moto3 racing team. The Mojo also gets steel-braided brake lines.
5. Fuel tank
The Mojo gets a massive 21-litre fuel tank, which gives it a real-world range of over 600 kilometres. This should come as good news for touring enthusiasts.
6. Tyres
The Mahindra Mojo is offered with premium Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 bi-compound tyres. The company claims that these 17-inch 110/70 (front) and 150/60 (rear) profile tyres offer good grip, increased braking performance and better handling characteristics in dry as well as wet conditions.
7. Instrument cluster
The instrument cluster gets an analogue tachometer along with a digital display. Besides the standard functionalities, this console also shows a speed test meter which records the 0-100kmph time, a maximum speed recorder, a malfunction light and an RPM recorder.
8. Safety
The limp home mode of the Mahindra Mojo restricts the engine speed to under 5000rpm whenever it detects an engine malfunction, thereby preventing further damage. It also comes with a rollover sensor which turns off the engine in case of fall.
