The bike weighs in just about 120 kg and the bigger 18 bhp variant could prove to be a rather nimble ride. The braking duties are done by discs at both wheels.

The Renegade Commando is the big daddy of UM stables and comes with a 250 cc single pumping out 18 bhp and 15.5 Nm. The bike definitely looks the part with traditional headlights and flashy chrome accents. The wheels are steel with spokes with a single disc in the front and a drum at the rear.

The Commando looks hefty in black or military green but surprisingly weighs just 127 kg dry. The Renegade Commando is perhaps the best looking bike from UM’s India portfolio.

United Motors are setting up a manufacturing facility in Delhi-NCR region and plans to source 60% of parts from domestic manufacturers to keep the costs low and price the bikes competitively. Launch could be expected sometime towards the end of this year.
