Delighted on his association with the Mojo Mountain Trail, Rannvijay Singh said, “Years ago I took part in Roadies just to lay my hands on the bike that was the winning prize. I am extremely thrilled to once again revisit those days by being part of a ride as historic as the Mountain Trail and what better companion than the Mahindra Mojo! I have ridden the motorbike and am quite impressed by its performance and ride quality. The Mojo is one of the most exciting bikes around and I’m looking forward to engaging with the Tribe and consequently spreading the message of brotherhood.”
Speaking about this association, Naveen Malhotra, Senior General Manager – Marketing and Product Planning, Mahindra Two Wheelers said, “The Mahindra Mojo stands for the joy of Riding and Brotherhood. There is nothing better to exemplify these qualities than our forthcoming Mountain Trail where owners and biking enthusiasts will get to experience the true capability of the bike through the rugged terrains of Leh while building bonds of friendship with their fellow riders. We couldn’t have asked for a better icon than Rannvijay who is joining us on this Trail. Rannvijay is not just a youth icon but an avid biker as well. And he is going to be riding the Mojo! We are looking forward to him sharing his experiences as a biker with our Tribe while he interacts and stays with them. I am confident that Rannvijay’s presence on this epic trail will make it an unforgettable memory for all of us!”
