Mahindra has revealed the specifications of their upcoming flagship model, Mojo which is scheduled to be launched this month in India. The Mojo will be a powerful tourer which will be positioned exclusively in our market with no direct competitors but by the look, performance and most importantly by pricing here we line-up it against its possible rivals which includes the street naked bike of KTM, Duke 200 and the fairing tourer bike by Honda, CBR250R. The Mojo will try to eat all the bikes ranging between 200cc-300cc and these two budget bikes will be its prime rivals. So, how will things be? Let us find out in detail.
