The American brand has finally entered India at the Auto Expo with the Renegade Commando, Renegade Sport S and the Renegade Classic.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Rajeev Mishra, Director UML said, “Seeing the potential of India as a giant motorcycle market, we are confident of not only steaming up the competition but also taking a decent chunk of the market. Our innovative products with an exhilarating design and embedded with the latest technology at an affordable price tag are an absolute novelty in the Indian market. For consumers who want something different, we have brought the perfect answer for them through our Renegade series of motorcycles. We are extremely excited to finally open stores in India and our products will be available in 50 dealerships across India to start with.”
