2017 UM Renegade Commando Classic review, road test

 Overall, UM has done a commendable job of improving its machine from what we experienced a year ago. It has decent ride quality and could really make a good companion for munching up some highway miles. However, there are a few areas in which the bike could be improved; engine refinement levels could certainly be looked into. With a price tag of Rs 1.89 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the Classic, the bike is priced competitively and falls bang into Royal Enfield territory. While it does miss out on the torquey, big single-cylinder feel, and the brand recognition that Royal Enfield has, the Renegade Commando Classic is a competent motorcycle in its own right. Those looking for an affordable, American-style cruiser, or those upgrading from something like a Bajaj Avenger, should stop by to a UM dealership and see if the Classic fits their cruising bill.
