UM introduces fuel-injected Renegade Commando EFI and Sports S EFI
The BS-IV compliant variants of the UM Renegade Commando EFI and Renegade Sport S EFI motorcycles have been launched. They now feature fuel injectors which make the throttle response sharper and also help in cold starts. Both the motorcycles have a 280cc engine which churns out 26.36PS of maximum power at 8,500rpm and 23Nm of peak torque at 7,000rpm, mated to a six-speed gearbox (power up by 1.2PS over the previous model). The motorcycles come with service alert maintenance as standard fitment and also feature USB charging port and storage area below the rear seat. Although they have huge 18-litre fuel tanks, they only weigh 172 kg. They also have an ergonomic design with low seat height and 200mm of ground clearance.
Speaking on the occasion of the bike unveil, Rajeev Mishra, CEO, UM Lohia Two Wheelers Pvt. Ltd, said, “We are happy to announce that following the implementation of BS-IV pollution norms in India, both Renegade Commando EFI and Renegade Sports S EFI fully comply with the stringent pollution norms.
