According to the price perspective, the Renegade Sport S is predicted to be priced at Rs. 1.5 lakhs (ex-showroom) on making the Indian debut. The forthcoming much awaited motorcycle will be powered by a 279cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which churns around 26.6 PS of power and 22.76NM of peak torque, mated to a six-speed transmission. Suspension duties on the cruiser are performed by telescopic forks up front and twin shocks at the rear. Braking set up include a front disc and a rear disc brake. As of now, no ABS will be found as the part of the package.

Visually, the newcomer is identical to the Harley-Davidson Street 750 up to a certain extent. However, some of the fascinating bits include dual-tone color scheme, front-set foot pegs, split-up seats, 7-spoke alloy wheels, a huge exhaust painted in all black and a fuel-filler cap on the fuel tank. Furthermore, the cruiser also gets blind spot rear view mirrors and anti-flat tyres, which is UM's standard hallmark that can be found on its other models too.

UM Motorcycles have an Indian partner in collaboration, Lohia Auto in Kashipur, that will serve the domestic demand, while export operations are going to be done simultaneously. The company stated that it will reach metro dealerships first and then step further in smaller towns.
