UM Renegade Classic

About
The UM Renegade Commando Classic is a cruiser motorcycle that aims to capture the essence of American styling with its chrome-laden design, dual-tone paint finish, and leather saddlebags. It is powered by a 279.5cc single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that produces 25.15hp at 8,500rpm and 23Nm of torque at 7,000rpm. The bike features a six-speed gearbox and liquid cooling, making it suitable for highway cruising. It comes with a tank-mounted speedometer console that includes a gear position indicator, fuel meter, odometer, and trip meter, along with a USB charging port. The Classic also includes a tall non-adjustable windscreen and a part leather finished tank with a handy storage pouch. Despite its appealing looks and decent performance, the bike has some drawbacks, including average brakes and a cooling system that could be more effective.

USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The UM Renegade Commando Classic is a cruiser that promises a lot but falls short in some critical areas. While it looks the part with its dual-tone paint finish, extensive chrome treatment, and leather saddlebags, its performance is somewhat uncharacteristic of a cruiser. The 279.5cc single-cylinder engine, though smooth at lower revs, becomes harsh when revved hard and lacks the low-end torque typical of cruisers. The gearshifts are predictable, but the absence of ABS and the spongy rear brake are significant drawbacks. The bike feels agile and comfortable on highways, but its pricing, closer to the Royal Enfield Classic 500, makes it a tough sell. For those not fond of Royal Enfield and seeking an alternative cruiser, the Renegade Classic is worth considering, but it needs refinement in several areas to truly compete.
Price
The UM Renegade Commando Classic is priced at around Rs. 2,02,100 ex-showroom in Mumbai. On-road, this figure can escalate to approximately Rs. 2.3-2.4 lakhs, depending on local taxes and other charges. This pricing puts it in direct competition with the Royal Enfield Classic 500, which is a more established and revered brand in the Indian market. While the Renegade Classic offers some unique features like fuel injection and a six-speed gearbox, its premium pricing may deter some buyers who might opt for the more nostalgic and retro charm of Royal Enfield.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 09:27 AM The mileage of the UM Renegade Commando Classic is decent, considering its 279.5cc engine and cruiser design. With an 18-litre fuel tank, it can offer a touring range of almost 600 kilometers, assuming an average fuel efficiency of around 30-35 kmpl. This makes it a viable option for long highway rides, though actual mileage may vary based on riding conditions and style.

UM Renegade Commando

Amazing style and the best performance. Definitely a head turner (why I bought it). Still running on all original parts since 6 years. Never had to spend more than Rs. 800 on a service or anything. I was caught in an accident which tilted the leg guard a bit, but the bike that crashed into me completely shattered and it's internal metal frame started showing. Only con is the battery life and service centers.

Cons: Battery Life, Service Centers.

UM Sports S review after one year use

Sharon Skariah Kurian | 3 years ago
helpful 4

I have completed 7278 km till now. A total of six 1-day trips and three long trips have been completed. Positive points 1- On highway, I'm getting 40km/l (on a cruiser, its great in my opinion) 2- 100% head turner in the city & on the highway. 3- Those who overtake me, they slows down & take a look at my bike due to its style. 4- Wide rear tyre gives me confidence in turns and hairpin bends. 5- 60-90kmph is the bike's sweet spot, it rides smoothly. 6- Less vibration on 5-6th gear in highway. 7- Continuous riding no problem to rider, bike, engine and no heating issue. 8- Till now, no breakdown 9- Tank capacity is 18 litres (best for touring). 10- Service cost around 1000/- (free service), 1500-2000/- (paid service). Negative points 1- Chain sound is loud in 2,3,4 gear in city conditions. 2- Mileage in city is 25km/l. 3- Engine heats up in city. 4- Quality of parts. 5- Vibration while riding in city.
