UM Xtreet (2014) Updates

Sunday, 01 February 2015 07:12 PM The market speculation around the UM Xtreet Rs pricing continues, with many wondering if the bike can justify a price tag of around Rs. 1 lakh. Given the competitive landscape, pricing will be a critical factor in determining the bikes success in India. I believe that value for money will be the deciding factor for buyers.

Thursday, 01 January 2015 11:00 PM UM Motorcycles had planned to assemble the Xtreet R locally in India, which was expected to help in pricing the bike competitively. However, the lack of updates on the launch and production status has left the market speculating about the bikes future. I think local assembly could be a game-changer if executed well.

Monday, 15 December 2014 11:11 AM The Xtreet Rs design, though unique, has drawn comparisons to other popular bikes, particularly the KTM Duke series. While this might attract some buyers who like the KTM design but want a different brand, it also raises concerns about originality. I believe that while inspiration is fine, originality is what sets a brand apart.

Monday, 01 December 2014 08:17 AM UM Motorcycles entry into the Indian market with the Xtreet R and other models was seen as a strategic move to capture a share of the growing two-wheeler market. However, the delayed launch and lack of updates have raised questions about the brands commitment to the Indian market. I think consistent communication is key to building trust with potential buyers.

Saturday, 15 November 2014 07:10 PM The UM Xtreet Rs engine specifications include a single-cylinder 223cc engine that produces 19.13 BHP of power at 7,900 RPM and 18.05 Nm of torque at 3,800 RPM. This engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox, making it a potent contender in its segment. The bikes performance is expected to be on par with its competitors.

Saturday, 01 November 2014 08:23 PM Despite the initial excitement, there has been no update from UM Motorcycles on the launch date of the Xtreet R, leaving potential buyers in limbo. The market has become even more competitive since the initial announcement, which might affect the bikes chances of success. I believe timely updates are crucial for maintaining consumer interest.

Thursday, 01 May 2014 10:14 PM The UM Xtreet R features a distinctive design with gloss black and matte black paintwork, along with orange accents. The bike has a split and step-up seat, and the LED tail lamp unit is similar to those seen on larger Hyosung models. The underseat exhaust is another notable feature, similar to the Hero MotoCorp HX250R. I think the design will appeal to those looking for a unique bike.

Wednesday, 16 April 2014 07:32 PM UM Motorcycles announced plans to launch the Xtreet R in India during the festive season of 2014, as part of their entry into the Indian two-wheeler market. The company was working on homologation and local assembly with distribution partners. This launch was seen as a significant move for UM to establish its presence in India.

Monday, 10 February 2014 05:08 PM The UM Xtreet R is expected to compete with bikes like the KTM Duke 200 and Pulsar 200 NS in the Indian market. The bike boasts features such as petal disc brakes at the front and rear, 7-spoke alloy wheels, and an underseat exhaust. The pricing, though speculative, is around Rs. 1 lakh, which could be a challenge for a new brand entering the market. I believe the pricing will be a crucial factor in its success.

Sunday, 09 February 2014 02:41 PM UM Motorcycles showcased the Xtreet R at the 2014 Auto Expo in India, highlighting its naked, street bike design that resembles the KTM Duke series. The bike features a 223cc single-cylinder engine producing 19.13 BHP of power and 18.05 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The design includes exposed framework, a digital plus analogue instrument cluster, and LED lights on the tank. I think the unique design elements might attract some buyers, but its a competitive market.
