Mahindra adds Mojo to the motorcycle market with new two-wheelers
Filed under: Budget, Motorcycle, India
Complete with colorful dancers and Bollywood superstar Amir Khan, Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd announced its entry into the two-wheeled market with the launch of two new models. The Mojo and Stallio are the culmination of a plan put into action back in 2008, when the giant Indian manufacturer purchased Italian design firm Engines Engineering, which claims responsibility for the styling of the M&M motos.
The smaller Stallio, which starts under $999 at current exchange rates, will be powered by an air-cooled 110cc mill sourced from China, with the rest of the bike also doing well to reflect its cheap entry level price point. Not so with the above pictured Mojo, which benefits from a liquid-cooled and fuel-injected 300cc single, inverted forks and large-diameter petal-type brake rotors. With a price-point just under $3,900 and a four-year warranty, the big Mahindra might just work some mojo of its own on potential buyers. For a complete list of spec's you can head over to burnyourfuel.com.
Vice chairman Arnad Mahindra proudly made the bold claim that this will be not only "the most interesting, the most attractive bike" going on to claim that it would be "the fastest and best that India has to offer the globe." It should come as no surprise that Mahindra wants a piece of the globe's second largest motorcycle market, where five times the motorists prefer two wheels to four.
Just don't expect to get your hands on one if you live within the world's largest motorcycle market as the U.S. is not slated to be included in the distribution. Maybe by the time we can get our hands on a Mahindra pickup we will be able to source a Mojo to put in the back, but that is probably wishful thinking on both fronts. A complete press release is available to those who make the jump.
