American manufacturer United Motors Global have unveiled their budget cruiser offerings: The UM Renegade Sport S, Renegade Commando and Renegade Classic, for the Indian market. The mechanical underpinnings of the three bikes are essentially the same, but tweaked to suit different riding styles they are suitable for.

The carburetted engine is mated to a six- speed transmission transferring the power via a chain drive. The bikes are butch enough to feel like it is a big cruiser bike. There are a few places where the build quality needs to be improved. For example, the faux-chromed toolbox which looks cheap on the Renegade Classic.

UM have also launched a range of clothing and riding accessories to complete that ‘biker’ look. The bikes have the potential to give fierce competition to the likes of Bullets and Avengers. But will it carve its name in the market? Only time will tell.
