UM Motorcycles, the Indian arm of American motorcycle maker UM International LLC, launched two Renegade cruiser motorcycles in India at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo today. The bikes under the Renegade range in India are the Renegade Sport S and the Renegade Commando.
A third bike, the Renegade Classic, has been unveiled at the Auto Expo as well and will be launched in June 2016.
The bikes are priced in the Rs. 1.49 - 1.59 lakh range (ex-showroom, Delhi). The company also announced that the bookings will commence from today across India.

Other features are air filter with paper element, 6-speed synchronised mesh gearbox, etc. It gets telescopic suspension at the front and dual shocks abosorbers at the rear. Both the motorcycles offer a fuel tank of 18 litres and weigh 172kg with 90 per cent fuel-filled in fuel tank.
UM International, in alliance with UP-based Lohia Auto, has invested Rs. 250 crore for expanding its presence in India. Manufacturing is already underway at Lohia Auto's Kashipur facility in Uttarakhand.
Headquartered out of New Delhi, UM Motorcycles has started appointing dealers across India. Going forward, the company intends to keep the expansion momentum going by increasing their presence in Tier II and Tier III cities and towns.
