UM Renegade Commando Classic

UM Motorcycles have launched the new Renegade Classic at Rs 1. 89 lakh (ex-Delhi). The new motorcycle will compete against the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 and is the third motorcycle from UM for India after the Renegade Sports S and Renegade Commando. The bike looks similar to the Commando but it gets the addition of windscreen and some chrome parts to give it the quintessential cruiser look. The bike was first showcased to Indian audiences at the 2016 Auto Expo in Noida and had received positive response.  

The launch of the bike had been delayed as UM Motorcycles decided to equip the new cruiser motorcycle with fuel injection system instead of a carburettor unit as seen on the current Renegade duo. Powering the motorcycle will be the same 278cc, air-cooled single-cylinder engine that develops 25PS of power and 22Nm of torque, though we feel that fuel injection would have helped UM engineers in extracting marginally more power and torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox. The cruiser bike employs telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear to handle suspension duties.
