The Mahindra Mojo ABS may feature MRF tyres instead of Pirelli tyres for competitive pricing. The instrument console will an additional indicator, of ABS. The engine specifications will reportedly remain unchanged. The BS-IV 294.72 cc single-cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC motor with fuel injection churns out 26.8 PS and 30 Nm of torque.
