UM Renegade Commando & Sport S | First Ride | Autocar India

[@ShoiabAkramCinematic]

RE Classic 350 was my first option, after looking at Commando on the internet it caught my attention and thought of going for this later came to know that Commando is identical to Avenger in height. Since I'm 6.2", I own a Classic now.

[@cirilthundiyil]

UM Renegade Commando (design)looks like Captain America's Bike. :-)

[@sujithanivan7273]

Yes absolutely

[@manojk1330]

But its quality is so bad.. What would you do if daily you first need to push it from back to start it as it have so much starting problem. If you do stand it idle for 2 -3 days it will never start by self even if you use chock. Its not only me who face this problem but every second buyer who purchased it feel so guilt as same as i feel right now from the day i buy it.. If you dony beleive me you can contact me 9781066883. Est of luck. All that glitters is not gold.

[@AswathNarayanan92]

@@manojk1330 obviously t would be bad, UM is bought by Chinese and they have been producing cheap Chinese knockoffs of Japanese/ American motorcycles and selling them in the Indian markey at a premium. Hope people do basic research on the brand and it's history or atleast look at it's wikipedia page before investing your valuable money.

[@kantachhatlani1833]

that bike is actually Harley Davidson street 750

[@sudeepdey3446]

Don't but this bike at all. The company is one of the biggest frauds. There is no proper supply of spare parts. Neither there is any assistance from customer care no. No one ever picks up the call ever. I also bought this bike and seriously fed up with this bike.You may be thinking it may be the problem with one service centre, but I have a transferrable job and I went to three different service centers in different cities, everywhere it's the same story. Every bike has some issues but if no proper service support is given than it becomes pathetic to own this bike. Even if you get faulty parts from the company than also you will not be replaced with new one free of charge. They will charge you full amount. This happened with me. My bike lockset was creating fault, hence I replaced it with new lockset costing Rs.1300. But the new tank lid which came with new lock set was faulty. It was creating air gap in the fuel tank because of which fuel was not flowing through the pipe. They told me that it will be replaced free of cost because it was a faulty one. But it has been 8 months nothing got replaced. Now i am using my old tank lid instead of new one and because if this I have to use two keys for my bike, the new one for ignition and old one for tank lid. My bike has wiring issues also. I asked them to fix it they told me that I have to rewire the whole bike which will cost me around Rs 8000. My rear wheel spocket is also having problem and whole rear wheel is to be replaced which is costing Rs 12000, I am even ready to pay after these all but agian there is no spare parts available. And this is only few issues which I am addressing, other than this there are several issues which company never take cares of. Once you buy it than company forgets you. After this even I am holding on to this bike only because of one reason and that's it was my first bike from my hard earned money, kind of a dream one. Other than that there is nothing holding me to sell this bike. Believe me don't even think of buying this bike. Because for some people it may be kind of dream like me and its all about there hard earned money. And still if you want to waste your money or you have alot to invest kind of rich than go for it. But if you are middle class like me and its about all your hard earned money than don't even think about giving it a shot. If you have any doubts go to the UM customer care site and call to customer care no. You will find your answer.

70 KM PH in 1st gear? UM is crazy.

[@jindalk6268]

Yes Crazy for good! Finally cruisers under 2 lakh that can perform for our market! Liquid cooled, 4 valve, 25bhp engine with 140 km/h top speed... Will be sharing my demo ride and booking experience, awesome bike overall. Aligning turn signals, handlebar and water in side leds dealer showed me it was addressed for mass productions, I will see when I get my bike!

[@SirKart]

Yes the gearing is quite strange.

[@hnayer_czsha]

The handlebar is excellent, better than any other cruiser. The handlebar positioning and shape is the biggest drawback of REs. I got neck pain after riding 2 hours continuously on RE Bullet 350.

[@zaved2008]

My Friend bought the Commando 1 year ago..On Road it costs approx 2 lakh.Initially it was all good then problems started to appear. You have to ride it very softly or else It won't last.The Service is pathetic.Spare part isn't available most of the time. Body vibration will give you an irritation to such extent that you will prefer to ride your old bike/scooter for daily commute. TBH this bike should cost around 70-80K.Resale value is very low.

[@Phoenixrider9241]

@anshul bhatia to be honest

[@chetansingh5496]

I took a test ride of commando today , it looks good. Wider wheelbase , bigger tank , 6 gears ,stylish looks ,comfortable sitting . But the cons are that it was having a low rpm not as much stronger as RE , gear shifting problems ,i felt power is lesser than RE ..

[@koolanil81]

I had visited the UM showroom and they said they were pre production model which were given for test rides. After receiving the feedback they have fixed those issues. Can AUTOCAR do a review now in 2017 and update if Quality and Fit and Finish is improved? Please reply.

End product is what buyers will get. Preproduction bikes are just for show, not for sale and usually still some details are to be improved. ,,.. This was explained to me during my test ride two days ago...

[@jindalk6268]

Yash ask your dealer to share with you. These demo bikes that are in UM dealers pan India are bikes that where manufactured a couple of months ago. Since then they have improved the fit and finish details we have commented and have implemented for mass production and delivery bikes.. I hope they live up to the promise.. Cant judge the quality after 20,000km at least... Cant wait for my new burgundy commando!

[@rohitdara6235]

how do they compare overall in front of the Royal enfeild.... does it stand a chance... be it ruggedness,feel, maintanence, resale,performance,

[@iamstrell]

It stands second to RE in front of ruggedness and feel. Maintenance and resale are yet to explore. It can perform better than a RE350Cc, but will fail for a drag with a 500Cc.

[@jindalk6268]

RE is a great bike, I owned a Classic 350 until Feb, and can tell you may get better resale on RE at least for the next couple of years. Maintenance I can't say RE was excellent and UM we have to see.. I do know all dealers are setting up exclusive workshop, spares ,.. Performance, ruggedness, fit I would say UM ranks better. Don't take the editor or my word, book a demo ride.

[@vansil7417]

Define your use . City commute, highway, offload? Test ride them all and decide what you want then.. Himalayan is good for rough, adventure rides but poor as daily use bike and engine has 24bhp even being a 410cc, it is oil cooled and only 2 valve. RE desert storm is a cute, classic, vintage bike with poor performance, old technology, push rod air cooled engines with 20bhp that vibrate like hell but that are nice for city use. also you will find yourself with many look a likes in many traffic lights! Renegade Commando is new breed of rugged looks, size, comfort and performance with 25 bhp, 4 valve, liquid cooled engines that have takeoff and top speed. good for city and highway use alike. And finally decide if you follow or want to be followed! Hope this help in your search... I am in the same process..
