Contact Farhan (8861083251) for sales and test rides in Bengaluru. This is the production version of 2019 Mojo and its available in Bengaluru. Stay tuned with the playlist for more videos th-cam.com/video/Eky09WE85Vc/w-d-xo.html
Dominar may seem like a value for money. Mojo is the best deal in terms of quality for money. I see a lot of you guys making comparisions or rather asking for comparisons. Here are my views and please note I've ridden all the motorcycles I've mentioned below. If you haven't ridden the Mojo abs then you should: Regarding the pricing, the production cost of mojo is really high with all the equipment used. The XTs were sold at huge loss by the company to sell it at a competitive price. Some other big motorcycle brands who knew what's got into the bike, were even surprised how the mojo xt was priced so competitively. But it's been very challenging for the company. Because it is a big giant like Mahindra, they were able to do this. Had it been some small player, they'd have to shut the business and go. The production cost has gone higher up now. And a company cannot be selling motorcycles at a huge loss for too long. Hence the mojo abs in the current set up was what worked out for the company on which they'll make some money, but that too is very little. And in terms of rideability it's amazing. To guys who say the bike misses USD forks, look at R3, Ninja 300 and even ninja 650. Don't they have telescopic forks ? And look at their pricing too! Way more than mojo. Yes they are twin cylinders, but the mojo being a single gives the feel and refinement levels of a twin. Torque produced by the mojo too is the highest for any 300 cc motorcycle available in the country. And what about the BMW 310s. They come nowhere close to the refinement levels of mojo. The 310R is close to 3.8L. and 310GS is 4.6L on road Bangalore. You pay there just for the badge. No disrespect to them. I've ridden the bigger BMWs and they are pinnacles in their segment. But the 310s aren't great at all. Priced ridiculously high here in India despite of being manufactured in India. They're cheaper than the KTMs in Europe. And the apache 310RR is around 2.8L on road Bangalore. Yes the bike is decent and has a brilliant chassis resulting in great handling. But it rattles so much! But this the paid media will not tell you. A few big media houses too have been biased towards the bigger brands. But Mahindra 2 wheelers doesn't believe in buying the media. I'm from the motorcycle industry and I've seen this happen. Unfortunately this is the truth. And please don't think that I'm just being biased towards the mojo. I'm a biker first and respect all well made motorcycles. If any motorcycle is good, I'd appreciate it. One of the bookings for Mojo abs has also come from an Apache RR310 owner who gave his bike on exchange and has been patiently been waiting for his mojo abs since 6 months. Other examples, the Duke 250 ex showroom is 1.97L, RC200 that comes with single channel abs and much lesser power and torque and smaller brakes and way smaller tank is 1.90L ex showroom. That way Mojo's pricing with superior build quality and ride quality is justified. So dont keep products like dominar as a benchmark which most of the paid media is doing. It's very hard for any manufacturer to price like Bajaj. I've owned Bajaj and KTM bikes. They do a lot of cost cutting and parts sharing across their models.The Dominar might seem good on paper and that's what gets most of the Indian janta crazy. But bring a dominar that's done 50000km and bring a mojo that's done the same, you'll see the difference in engine refinement and build quality. And I've met many dominar owners who'd suggest the mojo over the dominar. Many dominar owners regret having not ridden the mojo before buying the Dominar. Many didn't even know mojo existed. Almost everybody who's bought the mojo has ridden the Dominar. But vice versa doesn't happen as much. Most of mojo owners have ridden both the bikes and chosen the mojo over the dominar. They've paid a premium for a relatively smaller and newer motorcycle brand. I do blame Mahindra for the lack of marketing. But they too had limitations with the losses they made. Hence what they did was let the bike speak for itself which might not get immediate sales but on on a long run yes. And I'm pretty sure it will happen. How many people even know that Mojo has raced in raid de Himalaya (considered the second toughest rally on the planet after Dakar rally) twice and have successfully completed and received podium finishes twice there? How many people know that a lot of Mojos have done over a lakh Kms? One rider even completed 1.7 lakh Kms in 3 years. How many even know that Mahindra is the only Indian manufacturer to have raced in Moto 3, the 250cc stepping stone to Moto gp. and couple of riders who raced on the Mahindra MGP30 are currently even racing in Moto gp. Mojo does have a very strong cult following. Maybe smaller in numbers but very strong. Mojo's customers' are it's brand ambassadors. So many mojo owners simply love their bikes. Have such strong connect and emotions over the mojo. Big brands like jawa had similar emotions. A proud mojo owner once said they he'd never sell the mojo and keep it for his kids just like how his dad kept the jawa for him. That's how strong the emotions are for the mojo and I'm pretty sure a lot of you feel the same too. Hope the top management of Mahindra realizes this too soon.☺
Generally, USD forks are over-hyped by bike reviewers who know shit about bikes. I happened to came across a suspension lesson from Yamaha test bike rider Colin Edwards where he mentioned that USD forks have a slight advantage over telescopic forks only in race tracks and cornering when handled by knowledgeable rider. But in real world where comfort comes first, he would choose telescopic forks over USD forks as USDs are stiff and makes for poor riding comfort. Again telescopic forks need less maintenance, can be fixed easily and affordably. But every bike reviewer, including @strell, crib about lack of USDs as if it would have offered them some considerable performance improvement.
Thank you Strell for your honest and unbiased review.I've ridden the bike too and here are my views: Took the new Mojo 300 ABS for a run in ride. The ride quality was just superb. The engine is super refined just like the XT and behaves smoother in the lower revs. The bigger rear sprocket definitely has improved the initial punch under 3000 rpm. Honestly I do miss the USD forks when I look at the bike. But once on the saddle, I didn't miss them at all. The new telescopic forks are heavier than the USD forks which results in brilliant stability and the revised rake angle is a major improvement in terms of handling. Unlike the XT 300, the front feels really light making the bike really nimble and easy to maneuver around the traffic, corners and U turns. It's really easy to throw around in the corners or hairpin bends since the revised rake angle makes quick change of directions really easy. The single exhaust is raised slightly higher for better cornering clearance. Stability when off road is brilliant thanks to the sturdy telescopic forks with the fork brace and the new raised handlebar which also makes it much easier to stand and ride. Although the initial punch has increased with the bigger rear sprocket, there is no lag in top end whatsoever when compared to XT300. I managed to hit a 156kmph on a bike that's done just 250 km on the odometer. There is a feature on Mojo which records the top speed. Could have hit 160 kmph if I got a slightly longer stretch. And of course it'll get much better post first service and once dB killers are removed. With the top speed I'm trying to indicate that the bike can cruise happily at 120 kmph all day. Lastly the biggest improvement is the braking. The bybre brakes with the dual channel abs, I can confidently say are one of the best in class. Still the same big 320 mm disc in front and 240mm on the rear (discs are slightly thicker now) but now with way better bite and feedback. The abs is really smooth and not too aggressive. Even tried braking hard from 140 kmph and it came to a stand still very quickly. Tried braking off road too and the abs kicked in very smoothly. Really pleased with the Bike. The mojo just got better and now is arguably the best tourer in the country in it's segment. The engine was already a gem. But now with the improved handling and braking it's a really good package. New riders or riders upgrading from smaller capacity bikes would find it really easy to live it. And the experienced ones can have more fun with it.
Sir can you please tell why Mahindra two wheelers is neglecting marketing this bike and here in Hyderabad we don't know whom to contact or where to buy a mojo and the dealership details provided in the website that particular dealership doesn't even exist anymore. Does mahindra actually want us to buy this bike or not ?
@@hanumadityabathula9675 sir the bike is not officially launched yet. In fact I'm the the first dealer to have received the bike in India so far. Website is in the process of getting updated. Please share your contact number. I'll get the concerned person from Hyderabad to connect with you.
8497943950 I am from Hyd too!It'll be so helpful if you could forward me the details to book this bike here. I already have booked a Dominar 400 2019 3 months ago but I have been skeptical on buying it now post reading all the reviews wherein almost everyone mentions/complaints about the vibrations from that bike.
@@mumbaiker6159 Good quality and robust parts, lesser plastic, hence the weight. It is indeed heavy in city slow maneuvering conditions but the heft is not so much when riding it. And that's coming from a year and half of ownership..
This is what one needs to know guys, mojo is a well manufactured bike the price you pay you get that built quality just like Tata nexon.. Mojo is a fantastic machine you will enjoy this bike to its best even after 50k or even 1 lakh kms this engine is just lovely.. Thanks a lot strell for this lovely and unbiased review
I've heard alot of negative things about this bike.... Had all that on my mind when I went for it's test ride... But all that went away as soon as I rode it. It's a really capable mile muncher ... perfect bike for long distance riding in our country in a price range of 2 lakhs... It's built really well and that engine is a gem.
Very good review Strell. I am an owner for the past 3 years, and I know what a beast this bike is. I agree with all that you have said save one point that the Dominar is a better tourer than the Mojo. I think both have equal touring capacities. Rather the Mojo wins over the Dominar in tank range. And now that it has got ABS, there is no beating the Mojo. I hope your review increases the sales of this wonderful machine and we get to see some more Mojos on the roads of India. It truly is an amazing product. Thanks for this review!
Agreed bro. While the Dominar may have more power and crunch, when it comes to touring, the comfort, the build quality, and tank range of Mojo is on another level. Best tourer of the two hands down.
@@maddyx3711 Hi bro, the Mojo does not vibrate. The first generation Mojos had some vibration on the tank. But that was actually an issue with the tank. I replaced the tank and now I do not feel those vibrations. Apart from that, there are no other vibrations that I feel. Service is good. At least in Bangalore (I stay in Bangalore), the crew is super helpful. It is easy to reach out to the regional manager and area managers as well if you have a need. Service intervals are at 6000 km and service cost is decent enough for a bike of this segment. It comes to about Rs. 2200 for a paid service for me without chain lubrication. (I carry my own chain lube, so I save around 150 bucks on that). And one more thing, my bike has never broken down once in the last 42500 km. I have done a maximum of 875 km in a day on the Mojo with pillion and luggage, but the bike did not falter for once. I also did not get tired because of the vibrations like I would on some other bike. (I slept for around 5 hours after that ride and woke up next morning to continue on my ride). As per my opinion, if you want to buy a tourer on a budget, you can go for this one. Before buying, you might be sceptical, but after buying, you will definitely feel thay you have taken a wise decision. Just one negative though; buy a pair of led fog lamps from Mahindra (as accessories) if you want to tour. The stock headlights of the bike are not that great for the highway.
Superb genuine comparison. I am a proud Mojo owner for a year now. I ride it daily in Mumbai traffic (office commute of 60kms). Excellent ride quality, no vibrations and awesome exhaust note. The attention you get from other riders is a bonus 😊. Never faced any issues in entire year. Now with ABS, Mojo is at new level of riding experience.
The bike is very good. Did a test drive from NAFS Mojo Banglore. Absolutely a beast in cities. Awesome sound. Excellent gear shifts. Best ergonomics for long drive, cities. For those Who have shoulder or back pain. Consider below points. Suspension is not so stiff or soft , excellent for city condition. Build quality is very good. Seat is wide and lengthy. Very comfortable seat for both rider and pillion. If anyone looks to by a bike with ergonomics as high priority then this is for you. Looks could be skeptical. I like it very much. Two color options black and blue. Cons: Clutch is not so soft compared to Yamaha bikes. Head light could be LED. Price could be more aggressive (Less). 2.40L onroad Banglore.
Mojo or dominor? Ride a test drive of both the motorcycle then you guys will know the difference and both the bikes are value for money but one who looking for a perfect tourer with large tank capacity then go for Mojo
Bro brilliant review love your vedios till the last ounce of the last cell of the last component of atom in my heart . Love your all vedios. U helped me find my first bike.
Farhan Khan - Any pointers for Delhi? Dealers here are god damn dumber than a bunch of random rock lying side on a highway getting pissed by strays. They have no idea when Mojo updated will come, and as per them, it has not even come yet.
Looking for an upgrade to my 200NS & confused between MOJO and FZ25. 90% city ride with occasional highway runs and prefer durability, comfort and low maintenance. Any recommendations?
You just need to adjust the screws to tighten the mirrors. Its adjustable. Even the previous bike had steel braided line - atleast for the front brake.
It was selling for 75k ( because of less sales and offer 45k for my bike 50k exchange bonus) with exchange of my father's Apache RTR 160 due to finance issue I couldn't able to buy it. I had gone with FZ-S V2 ( bad decision) But I had test drive the bike. I can never forget the sound of dual exhaust DB killers removed 😍. I got a test drive bike which had clocked 70k km it feels refined I never expected this from brand like Mahindra. But the braking was ok. I will definitely buy this 2019 model if any update will come with dual exhaust on costumer demand.
Hi strell.. always enjoyed your reviews and love the way you do it..it feels like I am on the bike while you review it I don't know why you didn't do a review of Kawasaki ninja 300 abs..kindly do that bro..pls do a complete review of that bike.. waiting eagerly!! Tq.. love from Tamil Nadu.
Bro I want to upgrade my bike from r15v3 to a touring(on road+less off road) cum daily commute.i am confused watching lot of videos and I want a final verdict from you amoung 1.Mojo abs 2019 2.himalayan abs 2019 3.jawa 42 I liked your video of mojo and I'm mad about it from that moment but I'm a bit skeptical of the after service and reliability of the bike ,please suggest me one bike
I got a special place for mojo in my heart and planning to buy this bike but hesitate me to buying this bike is the service centre as i am from a town...
Of course it is! 😂 Mojo is in deed the best sounding single cylinder! It's also the only bike available in India to have the option to remove dB killers from the stock exhaust. And when you do that, it sounds like a twin cylinder.
Quick question Strell. Gixxer 250 or Mojo 300. Mostly city. Occasionally highway. Im 5'8" and less than 60Kgs. Im stuck between these two and my only thing which would keep me away from the Mojo is the availability for immediate delivery. Your thoughts?
I would say take a test ride of both. Since you will mostly ride in city check handling, suspensions, turning radius, fuel consumption from other users...
Ride both the bikes buddy. I've ridden both and here are my views where the Mojo excels: 1. More power and torque. Very versatile though. happy to cruise or be revved higher. 2. Liquid cooled engine. Hence cools better. 3. DOHC engine and is more refined 4. Ergonomics are comfier for both riding round city or touring. 5. 21L fuel tank that gives better range 6. Stability while off road is better. 7. Higher cruising speed of aroun 120-130 kmph Dont worry about the weight. There are lot of riders around 5'1-5'2 , weighing much lesser than you touring around on the mojo. Deliveries will start this month end.
Im soon gonna buy a motorcycle Can u pls tell which one should I buy Btw its gonna be my first motorcycle Dominar, gixxer 250,benelli 302r/300,mojo For daily use.....
Nice review, about the fork braces i guess it is present in most motorcycles my Interceptor has similar looking fork brace. Again a to the point review.
How is the clutch action is it very tight or light ? Just in case to travel in bumper to bumper traffic. Will it be a problem causing pain on palm and wrist.
Bro that was amazing video,even I love the mojo abs 2019. But confused between Dominar & Mojo. Only one showroom in Chennai & worried about service. Even b4 that I was planning 2 buy Mojo XT but after heard of Abs version stopped. Should I go for mojo I love it very much everyone is saying go for Dominar IAM confused. I ride in city 40 kms a day my only concern is back pain since I ride Yamaha Ray Z.
Bro go for Mojo but yes only dp motors in tambaram sells Mojo. Bajaj you will get number of showrooms but not a sturdy machine like Mojo. I own a UT 300. The abs version will come in black, UT's blue and guess red is also in the cards. Any other color will have to wait and watch. Sunburst yellow will not be available as per sources.
@@rajasivalingam4785 only black and blue available. If you can buy it from NAFS Motors Bangalore, I can get it done in any colour that you want 😉. And plus you can have a nice ride to Chennai from Bangalore 😃
Bro everybody who's telling you to go for the Dominar have not ridden the mojo yet. And don't worry about the comfort. The mojo is one of the must comfortable bikes in the segment. The ergonomics are perfect for touring as well as city riding.
Am I missing something here? I do get that Telescopics are as good as USD as far as touring is concerned but aesthetic value of USD can't be ignored. And they had provided USD before, they just had to tune it towards supple ride. And the should have upgraded instrument console. There is no harm moving towards digital console (the only digital+analog duo I liked is of R3's). You gotta give some bells and whistles to convince Indians to buy a 2L+ motorcycle.
Why do bikes like Yamaha doesn't get the USD forks for R3, R15 and MT01 and have the USDs on some of these models in the international market? 1. Coz Indians are price sensitive. 2. Telescopic forks make more sense in our Indian road conditions. 3. USD forks make more sense on track or on sportier track focused motorcycles
@@farhankhan_rr I guess you have misinterpreted my point. 1- Price is even more than before. Since they had provided USD on earlier models, why didn't they provide on the newer one? Price is already on the premium side. 2) old mojo had excellent ride quality with USD. So, your point being they are irrelevant in Indian conditions is wrong. 3) who said tourers shouldn't have fun around the corners?
Hey nice review!! 😊 Are you wearing the Aspida odessuss all season touring riding pants? Can I know your quick review about it... As Im thinking of purchasing it.
If you can tell me sooner.. It would be nice... As I'm Planning to purchase one in a week!! And there aren't enough reviews on this riding pants anywhere... I'm confused between oduessus and proteus air mesh 2
Bro both are in different world altogether. People should understand the difference between these two before even comparing. Just bcoz the pricing falls under same bracket doesn't mean it can be compared. It is like comparing a Harley with Yamaha or Honda. You cannot.
I am reallly looking for a new one by Diwali.. dnt knw if will be in Kolkata or not.. D400 , Gixxer 250 naked, and Mojo this one as u said is more promising than other 2.. D400 2019 cannot give mileage more than 27 on avg. but this can do 35 surely becoz of low BHP.. any info. abt avilable in Kolkata..?
Any bike or even basic cycle other than any enfield. If you do go for the Mojo, just ensure there are service centres for the Mojo somewhat closeby where you live just for peace of mind. Do ride the motorcycle before making a decision. Though I don't own the Mahindra Mojo, I had considered buying it myself(second hand) but I backed off as not many were selling, realised it's due to very poor marketing by Mahindra. It seems like a really well built motorcycle. Engine refinement as per many articles I've read & TH-cam videos seen is said to be very good, which is not seen in many motorcycles. Plus a 21 litre tank which is unheard of here. If you buy an enfield you will get a demo of Parkinson's(no offence meant to anyone diagnosed) at every signal & also whilst riding. Also, you'll be at the service centre constantly getting parts repaired/replaced/*upgraded. Most of your rides on any enfield, if any at all, will be tensed cause you'll be constantly thinking of what can go wrong. You really don't need that in your life, especially when buying a first bike.
You are reading this comment from a person who has owned 4 RE's in the past. Now I own a Mojo and really loving it. I would recommend Mojo if you have a sales and service in your city/town or at least if it is accessible by you if at all in nearby ones.
surprised to see in rainy season you drove and not a single mud marks or splash marks on seat, i hope the rear riders didnt abuse who for throwing splash from rear tyre on them..As this bike doesnt have a tyre hugger and neither mahindra will give it as as a standard accessory even after so many feedbacks

Which bike's exhaust sound more better and more bassy? Dominar vs mojo..

Hope the top management of Mahindra realizes this too soon.☺
A big like for ur opinion about mojo 👍🏼
francesco bagnia raced with aspar mahindra team and now he's in MOTOGP with pramac ducati
Truly said Sir, I also belive that mojo is gonna be like jawas and RDs in upcoming years, infact will be much rarer. I hope to buy one asap 😊
I liked bcoz of ur passion

Last version mojo ut was too heavy for me, how the new mojo abs in terms of weight?
@@mumbaiker6159 Good quality and robust parts, lesser plastic, hence the weight. It is indeed heavy in city slow maneuvering conditions but the heft is not so much when riding it. And that's coming from a year and half of ownership..
This is what one needs to know guys, mojo is a well manufactured bike the price you pay you get that built quality just like Tata nexon.. Mojo is a fantastic machine you will enjoy this bike to its best even after 50k or even 1 lakh kms this engine is just lovely.. Thanks a lot strell for this lovely and unbiased review
Rehman Shariff,
Simply true,
✌️ peace ✌️,
Happy Riding.
Does the new edition sound like the older xt 300 ?
@@bishaldeb1014 to be honest it sounds more sweet than older one but the bass of dual exhaust is missing.. The sound is more good than old
I've heard alot of negative things about this bike.... Had all that on my mind when I went for it's test ride... But all that went away as soon as I rode it. It's a really capable mile muncher ... perfect bike for long distance riding in our country in a price range of 2 lakhs... It's built really well and that engine is a gem.
@@TheTwinPost very true, mojo is not for all only a selected ones pick it and never regret their decision 👍
However next time we want comparison between mojo and dominar...
Yes
Very good review Strell. I am an owner for the past 3 years, and I know what a beast this bike is. I agree with all that you have said save one point that the Dominar is a better tourer than the Mojo. I think both have equal touring capacities. Rather the Mojo wins over the Dominar in tank range. And now that it has got ABS, there is no beating the Mojo.
I hope your review increases the sales of this wonderful machine and we get to see some more Mojos on the roads of India. It truly is an amazing product. Thanks for this review!
Agreed bro. While the Dominar may have more power and crunch, when it comes to touring, the comfort, the build quality, and tank range of Mojo is on another level. Best tourer of the two hands down.
Could you please talk about the vibrations and the serviceability of this bike? and how the vibrations fares against Dominar?
@@maddyx3711 Hi bro, the Mojo does not vibrate. The first generation Mojos had some vibration on the tank. But that was actually an issue with the tank. I replaced the tank and now I do not feel those vibrations. Apart from that, there are no other vibrations that I feel.
Service is good. At least in Bangalore (I stay in Bangalore), the crew is super helpful. It is easy to reach out to the regional manager and area managers as well if you have a need. Service intervals are at 6000 km and service cost is decent enough for a bike of this segment. It comes to about Rs. 2200 for a paid service for me without chain lubrication. (I carry my own chain lube, so I save around 150 bucks on that).
And one more thing, my bike has never broken down once in the last 42500 km. I have done a maximum of 875 km in a day on the Mojo with pillion and luggage, but the bike did not falter for once. I also did not get tired because of the vibrations like I would on some other bike. (I slept for around 5 hours after that ride and woke up next morning to continue on my ride).
As per my opinion, if you want to buy a tourer on a budget, you can go for this one. Before buying, you might be sceptical, but after buying, you will definitely feel thay you have taken a wise decision.
Just one negative though; buy a pair of led fog lamps from Mahindra (as accessories) if you want to tour. The stock headlights of the bike are not that great for the highway.

Southern India have many beautiful roads for bike riding 😍 very beautiful roads with trees at all sides 🕉
I am a proud Mojo UT300 owner. Satisfied with my Mojo anyday..
your review is absolutely so deep that anyone hardly need any other review for a buying decision.
Nice review bro... wow the Mojo looks good overall in terms of specs and looks... looking at some serious competition here😎
Superb genuine comparison. I am a proud Mojo owner for a year now. I ride it daily in Mumbai traffic (office commute of 60kms). Excellent ride quality, no vibrations and awesome exhaust note. The attention you get from other riders is a bonus 😊. Never faced any issues in entire year. Now with ABS, Mojo is at new level of riding experience.
The bike is very good. Did a test drive from NAFS Mojo Banglore. Absolutely a beast in cities. Awesome sound. Excellent gear shifts. Best ergonomics for long drive, cities. For those Who have shoulder or back pain. Consider below points. Suspension is not so stiff or soft , excellent for city condition. Build quality is very good. Seat is wide and lengthy. Very comfortable seat for both rider and pillion. If anyone looks to by a bike with ergonomics as high priority then this is for you. Looks could be skeptical. I like it very much. Two color options black and blue.
Cons:
Clutch is not so soft compared to Yamaha bikes. Head light could be LED. Price could be more aggressive (Less). 2.40L onroad Banglore.
Mojo or dominor? Ride a test drive of both the motorcycle then you guys will know the difference and both the bikes are value for money but one who looking for a perfect tourer with large tank capacity then go for Mojo
Dominar is more of a futuristic looking bike whereas mojo looks like a old school big, road presence bike.
@@vivekstreme1994 you are right both the bikes have their own beauty dominor is a beautiful beast and mojo is a rugged beast
this is seriously a gem......n also better than dominar any day......no one can come close to its engine refinement
Very true. No single cylinder bike of this capacity in India can come close to the refinement of Mojo
Mojo is really a good bike for touring
.... Problem lack of quality service
Are there any issues with mahindra service centre? Any idea bro?
@@nnagap72 The issue is there are no service centers :P
Do you get continues humming of fuel pump while riding the motorcycle? Is it normal?
Was waiting for the review! Loved every bit of this! 👍
You are god of bike reviews
Awesome review brother , no doubt Mojo is a gem machine
Bro brilliant review love your vedios till the last ounce of the last cell of the last component of atom in my heart . Love your all vedios. U helped me find my first bike.
Mahindra just need to market it and spread the service reach ..
I’m looking for my first bike. Should I buy this mojo? I want a bike for mostly city rides and touring every couple of weeks maybe
Freddy Fernandes go for dominor
Ride both the motorcycles and then take a call. Come meet me if you wanna ride the mojo. Contact no in the description.
Farhan Khan - Any pointers for Delhi? Dealers here are god damn dumber than a bunch of random rock lying side on a highway getting pissed by strays. They have no idea when Mojo updated will come, and as per them, it has not even come yet.
@09:51 I completely agree. I just went for a tour on a rented Dominar 400 and I noticed exactly what you said when shifting gears at higher RPMs.
We really need a pure sound video. This is one of the best sounding bikes.
If you compare Mojo 300abs, RTR 200 4v, Dominar 400 UG's exhaust, which is the best one as per you?
Strell bro, mojo, dominar compare cheyth nokkuvanel eth vandi aanu overall best as per

Which one you would choose strell mojo or cbr250r????
I am a hardcore sucker of sports motorcycles man 😁. So my pick will go based on that.
Can u feature the Yamaha XSR700? 👌👍. I'm a new subscriber from The Philippines. Great videos, man. PEACE! 🤙
If I get to ride one, I love to :) Unfortunately I haven't seen this in my country much.
This machine is absolute allrounder 💯
The way you call urself short..😁😂Informative video sir..
😁
Between MOJO and FZ25, which one is better from a comfort riding pov? I plan to use it 60% in city and rest on highway
Sir, what does your recording equipment consist of? Great video quality and excellent audio. Really good noise cancellation.
Looking for an upgrade to my 200NS & confused between MOJO and FZ25. 90% city ride with occasional highway runs and prefer durability, comfort and low maintenance. Any recommendations?
I want your opinion which bike you will buy dominor 400 or KTM 390 you have tested both of them
Nice review bro......always good to see Ur reviews
You just need to adjust the screws to tighten the mirrors. Its adjustable.
Even the previous bike had steel braided line - atleast for the front brake.
Mojo always had steel braided line for both the brakes.
I Liked the video first and started watching the video.
Strell bro how should we ride cbr250r after first service till 2000kms(i mean the RPMs)??
Check out xbhp tread on cbr25
thanks bro. d way u reviewed is amazing not on this particular. your every review video is amazing. god bless you✌
bro, what about the service centres? like enough numbers are there in most of the place? spare parts availablity?
It was selling for 75k ( because of less sales and offer 45k for my bike 50k exchange bonus) with exchange of my father's Apache RTR 160 due to finance issue I couldn't able to buy it. I had gone with FZ-S V2 ( bad decision) But I had test drive the bike. I can never forget the sound of dual exhaust DB killers removed 😍. I got a test drive bike which had clocked 70k km it feels refined I never expected this from brand like Mahindra. But the braking was ok. I will definitely buy this 2019 model if any update will come with dual exhaust on costumer demand.
Hi strell.. always enjoyed your reviews and love the way you do it..it feels like I am on the bike while you review it I don't know why you didn't do a review of Kawasaki ninja 300 abs..kindly do that bro..pls do a complete review of that bike.. waiting eagerly!! Tq.. love from Tamil Nadu.
I am trying hard to get one 😊. Hopefully will get one in future

I got a special place for mojo in my heart and planning to buy this bike but hesitate me to buying this bike is the service centre as i am from a town...
I m at chennai. Even here both the sales and service don't push enough confidence and make us buy the machine.
Thank you for what I was waiting for
Waiting for the pure exhaust sound and your unbeatable downshifts.
14:40 there is mercedes convertable
This video was bomb 💣 surprise for us...
Can you do a detailed review of the suzuki gixxer sf250 and gixxer 250?
Strell- "Mojo is the best sounding single cylinder".
Fz25 - "am I a joke to you bro? "
Hahaha yes of course 😂
Of course it is! 😂
Mojo is in deed the best sounding single cylinder! It's also the only bike available in India to have the option to remove dB killers from the stock exhaust. And when you do that, it sounds like a twin cylinder.
@@farhankhan_rr Bro you forgot to mention the popping sound that comes from exhaust when releasing the throttle which is mind boggling.
Bro I'll used to drive hardly 30km to 50km per day in city do mojo fit for that...and what's the milage will be in city condition..?
Is this the same engine which java have...?🤨 What's about the service center's in Kerala...?🤔
Actually it's the other way around.
Java's is derived from this engine
Mojo is the best bike....
Quick question Strell. Gixxer 250 or Mojo 300. Mostly city. Occasionally highway. Im 5'8" and less than 60Kgs.
Im stuck between these two and my only thing which would keep me away from the Mojo is the availability for immediate delivery.
Your thoughts?
I would say take a test ride of both. Since you will mostly ride in city check handling, suspensions, turning radius, fuel consumption from other users...
if u city guy go for Gixxer 250 or fz 25 but ur for touring or most of time in highway mojo is always better
Ride both the bikes buddy. I've ridden both and here are my views where the Mojo excels:
1. More power and torque. Very versatile though. happy to cruise or be revved higher.
2. Liquid cooled engine. Hence cools better.
3. DOHC engine and is more refined
4. Ergonomics are comfier for both riding round city or touring.
5. 21L fuel tank that gives better range
6. Stability while off road is better.
7. Higher cruising speed of aroun 120-130 kmph
Dont worry about the weight. There are lot of riders around 5'1-5'2 , weighing much lesser than you touring around on the mojo. Deliveries will start this month end.
Thanks everyone for your advices.
I recently have ridden the 2017 version for two days on highway and in city and i am now convinced to buy the Mojo!😬
Dude is that towards Nandi hills? I just drove there last week on a Mojo 300xt.
Hey what about clutch type, does it have slipper clutch?
Strell, what riding gear are you wearing? Can you share links.
AGV K5 SV helmet
Aspida Jacket
Aspida Pants
Alpinestars shore gloves
Alpinestars SMX6 boots
so is the new mojo is only offered in one varient? and not two(UT & XT)?? or were you riding the UT version?
It's a combo of XT and UT, one single variant.
Please do review of mojo ut 300 ..should i go for mojo ut 300 or duke 200 i have 2lakh budget by the way
Strell by removing the dB killer is there any problems to the bike
Yes sir.... Removing DB killers may affect the sensors....
Ktm Duke 250 the 2019 model review please
Please compare bs6 domi and mojo ... Compare the vibs and refinement.. milages

Pillion seat seems like its extended compared to old Mojo. The earlier version’s pillion seat was small. Is there any updates?
Yeah, its little longer now.

That’s great.
Useful comprehensive review brother. Thanks for uploading it this much early.
Yes it's longer and wider. And if you want further better pillion comfort, back rests are available
Bro please make detailed video on gixxer 250...
Bro can you compare the old mojo and ABS version?
Well I'm planning to buy one...
Does The lack of usds and 2nd exhaust help?(in terms of weight)And also how's the braking
The weight is actually reduced by 1kg. But the feel of the motorcycle has changed. Made easier to ride. Braking is perfect now.
The weight difference on paper is very little. But it feels much lighter. The new front suspension rake angle makes the difference.
@@farhankhan_rr From the man himself!
Nice review, about the fork braces i guess it is present in most motorcycles my Interceptor has similar looking fork brace.
Again a to the point review.
Thanks, didnt really noticed that :)
Not most but yes interceptor has it :)
How is the clutch action is it very tight or light ? Just in case to travel in bumper to bumper traffic. Will it be a problem causing pain on palm and wrist.
Its towards softer side. Not much of a pain during city usage.
@@iamstrell Thank you
I liked the words .... A bit Himalaya and dominer is in it what else can we expect for that price range
I like the video bro vary nice
Mojo..🔥🔥🔥
Hey Strell, please make a review of 2019 Ninja 300! ASAP
Bro that was amazing video,even I love the mojo abs 2019. But confused between Dominar & Mojo. Only one showroom in Chennai & worried about service. Even b4 that I was planning 2 buy Mojo XT but after heard of Abs version stopped. Should I go for mojo I love it very much everyone is saying go for Dominar IAM confused. I ride in city 40 kms a day my only concern is back pain since I ride Yamaha Ray Z.
Bro addition to the earlier comment do sun burst yellow color available for the new version.
This is not yet available he just got it in advance test basis go for mojo very nice and unique tou
Bro go for Mojo but yes only dp motors in tambaram sells Mojo. Bajaj you will get number of showrooms but not a sturdy machine like Mojo. I own a UT 300. The abs version will come in black, UT's blue and guess red is also in the cards. Any other color will have to wait and watch. Sunburst yellow will not be available as per sources.
@@rajasivalingam4785 only black and blue available. If you can buy it from NAFS Motors Bangalore, I can get it done in any colour that you want 😉. And plus you can have a nice ride to Chennai from Bangalore 😃
Bro everybody who's telling you to go for the Dominar have not ridden the mojo yet. And don't worry about the comfort. The mojo is one of the must comfortable bikes in the segment. The ergonomics are perfect for touring as well as city riding.
Bro is this nandhi hill way??
Am I missing something here? I do get that Telescopics are as good as USD as far as touring is concerned but aesthetic value of USD can't be ignored. And they had provided USD before, they just had to tune it towards supple ride. And the should have upgraded instrument console. There is no harm moving towards digital console (the only digital+analog duo I liked is of R3's). You gotta give some bells and whistles to convince Indians to buy a 2L+ motorcycle.
Why do bikes like Yamaha doesn't get the USD forks for R3, R15 and MT01 and have the USDs on some of these models in the international market?
1. Coz Indians are price sensitive.
2. Telescopic forks make more sense in our Indian road conditions.
3. USD forks make more sense on track or on sportier track focused motorcycles
@@farhankhan_rr I guess you have misinterpreted my point.
1- Price is even more than before. Since they had provided USD on earlier models, why didn't they provide on the newer one? Price is already on the premium side.
2) old mojo had excellent ride quality with USD. So, your point being they are irrelevant in Indian conditions is wrong.
3) who said tourers shouldn't have fun around the corners?
@@ChinmayKashid bro.... Manufacturing cost is on the higher side now.... And don't forget Mojo is a best quality bike under 2 lakh price point..

Which is best between dominar and mahindra mojo
Bro both are in different world altogether. People should understand the difference between these two before even comparing. Just bcoz the pricing falls under same bracket doesn't mean it can be compared. It is like comparing a Harley with Yamaha or Honda. You cannot.

I am reallly looking for a new one by Diwali.. dnt knw if will be in Kolkata or not.. D400 , Gixxer 250 naked, and Mojo this one as u said is more promising than other 2.. D400 2019 cannot give mileage more than 27 on avg. but this can do 35 surely becoz of low BHP.. any info. abt avilable in Kolkata..?
I am not sure about the sales in Kolkata. Please contact Mahindra via their website. They generally responds.
Enfield 350 or mojo...??
Help me out guys..its 1nce in a life time I'm Gona buy a bike so help me.. ..
Any bike or even basic cycle other than any enfield.
If you do go for the Mojo, just ensure there are service centres for the Mojo somewhat closeby where you live just for peace of mind. Do ride the motorcycle before making a decision.
Though I don't own the Mahindra Mojo, I had considered buying it myself(second hand) but I backed off as not many were selling, realised it's due to very poor marketing by Mahindra.
It seems like a really well built motorcycle. Engine refinement as per many articles I've read & TH-cam videos seen is said to be very good, which is not seen in many motorcycles. Plus a 21 litre tank which is unheard of here.
If you buy an enfield you will get a demo of Parkinson's(no offence meant to anyone diagnosed) at every signal & also whilst riding. Also, you'll be at the service centre constantly getting parts repaired/replaced/*upgraded.
Most of your rides on any enfield, if any at all, will be tensed cause you'll be constantly thinking of what can go wrong. You really don't need that in your life, especially when buying a first bike.
You are reading this comment from a person who has owned 4 RE's in the past. Now I own a Mojo and really loving it. I would recommend Mojo if you have a sales and service in your city/town or at least if it is accessible by you if at all in nearby ones.
Mojo anyday. Don't buy that shit Enfield. Done 26000+ km on a classic 350. Not worth it for its price
Bro are you sure with power is 19.34... Because I saw 26.29 in office website
19.34 KW is equal to 26 Bhp
What's the tank ? Plastic or metal ? Just curious for the 21 litres
Metallic one
surprised to see in rainy season you drove and not a single mud marks or splash marks on seat, i hope the rear riders didnt abuse who for throwing splash from rear tyre on them..As this bike doesnt have a tyre hugger and neither mahindra will give it as as a standard accessory even after so many feedbacks
The rear tyre throws some dirt to the seat. But not too much. I managed to give a quick wash over the plastics before the review 😊
@@iamstrell ahh so i was right..dont you think mahindra should seriously offer tyre hugger as standard accessory .
