2011 Mahindra Mojo 300 | Preview

Indian mega manufacturer Mahindra (specializing in utility vehicles and tractors since 1945-after executives visited the Willy's factory in America-and now branching out into financial services) officially unveiled their first foray into the two-wheel realm of motorcycles.
Targeting the transportation needs of a rapidly growing Indian market, Mahindra showed off its nascent endeavor in Mumbai today (Sept. 30) with an affordable and somewhat stylish motorcycle with the bold name (insert your own Austin Powers reference here); the 2011 Mahindra Mojo motorcycle.
The 2011 Mahindra Mojo will be available in both a 125cc and 300cc version. The Mojo 300cc is aimed at earning its kudos by way of the title as the most powerful motorcycle produced in India. The liquid-cooled, 4-valve single produces a claimed peak power rating of 26 horsepower at 8500 rpm.
The 292cc engine in the bigger Mojo utilizes a 6-speed transmission to get all that screaming horsepower to the ground via 17" alloy spoke wheels mounted with disc brakes front and rear (single 320mm front and single 220mm rear).
In keeping up with the times the Mojo has inverted front forks and a mono shock suspension arrangement for the rear. The press release, backing up the heavy ad campaign, boasts that the Mahindra Mojo's LED taillight and twin barrel headlight is "sure to rewrite the design standard of the Indian bike industry."
