UM DSR Adventure 125, TT 125 and 200 are expected to launch in India in 2019. Adventure 125 and 200 will be ADV bikes, while TT 125 will be an off-roader.
In 2018-end, UM Motorcycles held a annual dealership meet, where some photos of their upcoming products were leaked on internet. Through these photos, we got to know that the brand is planning to make a move in the ADV bikes segment.
Reportedly, UM DSR Adventure 125 and TT 125 will be launched in India. While the former one will be a pure adventure tourer, TT 125 will be a complete off-roading motorcycle.
At the dealer event, UM DSR Adventure 200 was spotted. So, summing up, we expect UM Motorcycles to launch 2 new adventure motorcycles in India. The bikes are expected to be launched in India by the end of 2019.
