UM DSR Adventure 200 ABS Will Reportedly Cost INR 1.39 lakh

Other than Hero Xpulse 200 and KTM 390 Adventure, we have another upcoming adventure bike in the form the UM DSR Adventure

India is all set to get a host of new adventure motorcycles. There has been a lot of noise about two highly awaited adventure motorcycles – Hero Impulse 200 and KTM 390 Adventure. However, these aren’t the only two bikes that are headed our way. UM is also planning to launch a motorcycle in the category in the form of the UM DSR Adventure 200 ABS.

It is being claimed that the UM DSR Adventure 200 ABS will have an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.39 lakh and that it will be launched in four paint options – Olive Green, Brick Red, Midnight Black and Octane Blue. Additionally, the motorcycle will be available with a range of accessories that one can opt to enhance the bike’s touring capabilities.

The UM DSR Adventure 200 ABS will be a dual-purpose motorcycle that will be equally capable both on and off the road. While its high-rise pointed beak is in sync with traditional off-road motorcycles, its 17-inch alloy wheels hint at its road-focussed nature. The usage of alloy wheels ensures that the motorcycle gets tubeless tires instead of the less practical tube-type rubber.

Also, instead of a steel bash plate, the US DSR Adventure 200 ABS gets a plastic cowl that offers mild protection when the bike is being used off the tarmac. A tall windscreen should help the rider save himself from wind blasts at high speeds. The optional accessories pack will include panniers and a top box to help long-distance tourers accommodate their luggage easily. There is also a rear crash protector.

Powering the UM DSR Adventure 200, ABS is a 196cc, single-cylinder, 2-valve, air-cooled, carburettor-equipped engine that offers a maximum power of 16 bhp at 8,500 rpm and a peak torque of 16 Nm at 6,500rpm. The motor comes mated to a six-speed transmission. Braking is courtesy of disc brakes at both ends while the motorcycle also gets a single-channel ABS.

The UM DSR Adventure 200 ABS will become a direct rival of the Hero Xtreme 200 and a cheaper alternative to the KTM 390 Adventure. The launch is expected to happen in the coming months.
