Mahindra Mojo Ruby Red BSVI – 1st Impressions

Riding down the city roads is indeed second nature when on the Mahindra Mojo. The responsive yet sophisticated throttle is handed down to this generation from BSIV. Adding to the fervor are the brakes, The Bybre’s bite into the road with the ABS system keeping you from swerving off your course. The riding stance is nevertheless – dauntless.

Tyres

Much has been said in terms of these online. Nevertheless, the Pirelli Angel CT is a new face here. The ride in question involved highways, city and a dash of soft-roading, with bits of traffic in between. They are unlike the MRF Zappers and offer a different comfort altogether.

Front Suspension

Apart from cost and look, the absence of the USDs makes the Mojo leaner. The telescopic forks with the brace is confidence inspiring. With the 110 Pirelli biased tyre you do not really missed the Diablo Rosso. For starters, at low speeds the steering may feel heavy. Once on the run, the bike is flick able.

Brakes

The Bybre’s do offer adequate bite, and instill confidence when the ABS kicks in. While they are not sintered, they do offer as better stopping power than competition.

Seating

The option for front risers and handlebar risers allow for a taller motorcycle, Don’t they? However, where almost all major manufacturers gave up the chase Team Mahindra picked up the scent. For all good reason a touring motorcycle is “Rider Comfortable”. What about the pillion? Contrary to critics, to re-iterate this is where Mahindra Two Wheelers Limited scored.

They made the pillion seat as much comfortable, here’s our reasoning:

The seat cushioning is softer yet denser that of the competition
It is longer and wider, yet accommodates almost everyone – be it friends or family
Best in class under thigh support makes for the perfect ride experience
The stock seat cover avoids any unwanted sliding in sudden braking situations
Sans the spilt seat form, it maintains the sport bike look without being commuter

To sum it up, you can ask her out to a breakfast ride, come back home. In the evening take your lady out on a date. Be it a leisure outing or a trip to the bazaar for that matter, it is less likely that she will prefer the scooter or want to be driven unless the occasion demands so

Power Figures – KOT( King Of Torque) ?

Well everybody talks Bhp and Torque, don’t they? Certainly, direct comparison cannot be made here. However, the BS6 motorcycle carries forward the “bulletproof engine” moniker. The Mahindra Mojo still cruises along the highway effortlessly. Like we said the figures are deceiving. What seems rather low on paper, when you blip that throttle on a straight it still has a long way to go . The mileage figures though not taken seem to be around the 30 kmpl mark.

Now let’s talk about Torque. Generally, there’s little room to feel the torque out. The Mojo is barely 1000 odd kilometers old. This motorcycle has never crossed 5000 rpm or 95kmph since delivery. Indeed, at low speeds a steady throttle is needed. Surprisingly it handles off-road climbs better than the BS4.(well that can be disputable for now).

VERDICT

The 2020 Mahindra Mojo Ruby Red BSVI is quite a package with its handling and other dynamics. Also, the Pirelli Angel CT tyres is worth reckoning. The twin pod headlamps are brighter than ever before and the yellow beams add that nostalgia in today’s world of white LED lighting.
