UM Lohia Two Wheelers will launch two new special
editions in September - the UM Renegade Commando Black Cat and the UM Renegade
Sports S Vegas. The UM Renegade Commando Black
Cat colour is available alongside the Matt Moss Green, Black Shine and Burgundy
Shine paint schemes. Apart from the new colour option, the motorcycle remains
unchanged. Dimensionally, the bike measures at 2257 mm in length, 780 mm in
width and 1140 mm in height, while it has a wheelbase of 1,545 mm and a ground
clearance of 200 mm. Suspension hardware comprises 41 mm telescopic front forks
and twin coil-spring shock absorbers at the rear.
The motorcycle features a semi-digital instrument
cluster and USB Smartphone charging port. Anchorage is provided by a 280 mm
front rotor with 2-piston calliper and a 130 mm rear drum brake. The bike comes
with 16- and 15-inch alloy wheels at the front and back, respectively, that
pair with 110/90 R16 front and 140/90 R15 rear tubeless tyres.
The UM Renegade Commando has a kerb weight of 179 kg
and a fuel tank capacity of 18 litres. The motorcycle will carry a similar
price tag of INR 1,82,503 (ex-showroom Delhi), like that of the other variants. The UM Renegade Sports S Vegas
Edition debuted in India at the Auto Expo 2018 alongside the Renegade Duty
range. The Renegade Sports S Vegas Edition comes with a few cosmetic updates
like a LED headlamp, drag-style handlebars, and knobby tyres. The motorcycle
features a matte black paint scheme with Vegas-themed graphics, while the bike
gets ribbed seat comes with a pillion cowl.
Unlike the Renegade Commando Black Cat, the UM
Renegade Sports S Vegas will be available at a slight premium. We expect it to
be priced around INR 1.75 lakh (ex-showroom). The Renegade Sports S Vegas
shares its mechanicals with the Renegade Commando but gets disc brakes at both
the ends.
Both motorcycles source power from a 279.5 cc,
4-valve, single-cylinder motor with fuel injection. The liquid-cooled engine is
capable of pumping out a maximum power of 25.15 PS at 8,500 rpm while
generating a peak torque of 23 Nm at 7,000 rpm. This engine transfers drive via
a 6-speed gearbox.
