Cheaper Mahindra Mojo UT300 bookings open

Mahindra is gearing up to introduce a cheaper variant of the Mojo motorcycle called the UT300. According to a media report, some dealerships in southern India have started accepting bookings for the bike. 

According to spy images, the entry-level variant of the Mojo misses out on some features. Primarily, it gets conventional forks instead of the upside-down type and the twin-exhaust setup has been replaced with a single, side-mounted exhaust. The Mojo UT300 also gets a twin-barrel headlamp cluster without the LED DRLs. The images have also indicated that the bike will be offered with MRF tyres instead of the more expensive Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres.

The UT300 will use the same 292 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine as the standard Mojo. However, instead of fuel-injection, it will get a carburettor, which is likely to bring down the engine's power and torque outputs. The fuel-injected version makes 27 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 30 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm.

The standard Mahindra Mojo is priced at Rs. 1.72 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Mojo UT300 is expected to be priced lower than it and the booking amount for the bike starts from Rs. 5,000.
