Two new UM motorcycles, from completely different segments (dual-sport and cruiser), have been spotted in India. The bikes appear to be the Hypersport and a new variant of the Renegade. This is the second time the dual-sport motorcycle has been spotted in India; the first time was back in June 2018.
UM have multiple models in the dual-sport segment globally, but the only one with alloy wheels is the Hypersport, which is the model that has been spotted. This version of the Renegade, on the other hand, has been spotted for the first time and features a new alloy wheel pattern and minor styling tweaks compared to the Renegade Sport S already on sale in India.
The Hypersport is available in international markets with three different motors – 150cc, 199cc and 223cc. If it does make its way to the Indian market, we believe it will get the 223cc motor that we have seen on other UM offerings. This single-cylinder engine makes 17hp at 8,000rpm and 17Nm of torque at 5,000rpm on the Duty range.
Similarly, we expect the upcoming Renegade variant to feature the 279.5cc, single-cylinder that is also found on other UM bikes in India. It makes 25.1hp at 8,500rpm and 23Nm of torque at 7,000rpm on the Commando range and the Renegade Sport S.
While UM had launched the Renegade Duty S and Duty Ace in India at the Auto Expo 2018, these bikes still don’t appear on the manufacturer’s website.
