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

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.

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

i road the Renegade Commando at the Gurgaon dealer and bike was awesome.,salesman was clear to me saying it was a pre-production bike,,.the bike rides much better than my RE classic, specially the acceleration was superb. kudos to UM USA designers,,,.i am sure the common man in India will love these bikes,,.my RE is now for sale after this test ride! time for a change...

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

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.

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 ..

i want the Renegade Sport painted all in matte black :)

i had test drive found it amazing than my enfield 350 and 220 pulsar. its review against um commandar. go test drive and feel real

hey you.... scrolling down to check the comments... yes you.. have a nice day.... bye.... go on..

I wanted that review so bad so thnxx AUTOCAR INDIA 😊👍✌

can you do a review with the updated bikes too?

They'll learn from their mistakes keep up the good work everyone starts with a scratch 😊

I checked out this bike... Make is really good...its vibe free unlike REs.... Switches are not backlit and very basic...Hope UM would fix this ...nice alternative fa cruisers...

it seems nice, for a cruiser at this price range plus it's made in India.

Excellent Work! Keep it up

Best review of the renegade.....

where are these roads?location?? it looks like we can have a little bit of fun

3:18 -> wather in the Led... jajaja Good Job UM...

I heard its not launching model. After poeple rewies they renovating all these models.

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.

i visited the showroom in nashik the bikes looks very cool specially commando but i didn't got the testride they will start testride from coming saturday . i like the bikes and love to have them between my legs.

Hey guyzzz The sport s model does contains the USB port?? Or it contains only in us renegade cammando ?

waited for so long and still waiting...

After 7 year's its history now

was waiting for so long for this

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.

great video!!

Perfect review...

whats your opinion @Autocar India Royal enfield thunderbird 350 or UM renegade commando and Sport s which one is the best cruiser

which is best bike in 200 cc,plz suggest right one

How good is the renegade when it comes to covering long distance? And also the spares in Zambia 🇿🇲, i have a CBX750p with a knock engine and it's been 2 years now can't the engine.

Can your do a fair review of um renegade sport s vs RE Thunderbird 350

Hello, does the commando motorcycle use a tire with a tube or is it without a tube?

Is it having good service backup?

i have royal enfield classic 350cc but i 'll purchase this one too at end of this year..but r.e. would be my first love ever

i stay in america..never heard of this brand

wch is gd compare UM s sport or commando or royal Enfield classic..???

so these bikes are different and one which will be released in sept will be different??

I am confused which one to buy royal enfield 350 or um renegade commando. Please suggest .

plz do a 600cc supersport comparison

Give a review on um renegade camando classic

rengade commando rocking heavy comfort lot of correction unless test rides carried in highway road in all district

Do you think this is more reliable compare to china bikes?

awesome Guys

good review

I think avenger cruise Is better, they need to sold it around 1 or 1.3 lakh. At this price point many of us going to buy re instead.

mileage please ? any idea where is the showroom in bangalore ? i have seen many negative comments on RE due to vibration, servicing issues and maintenance cost. confused which one to buy either RE or UM

Is it a better choice than thunderbird 350 , can't make a decision, help.

105 kph in 2nd gear TALL gearings? seems like the perfect gearing for its purpose

Please make a review vedio for Suzuki hayabusa to if you can!

Awsome yaar

Hi Autocar , Im kinda interested in this motorcycle but i live Kolkata but there is no sing of UM over here . What should i do to get a test drive ?

Commando looks bad ass

finaaly a royal enfield competitor commado is damm good looking since they are prototype they can fix the problem in retail versions

what about is exhaust sound...is that like of royal enfield or is lower than that

Can anyone tell if the green colour is going to be available in the Indian market?

Bro.. u beat powerdrift this time.

I had booked a renegade commando in new Delhi, cp showroom last month..they said delivery expected in November..the first batch of bikes coming out this month.

How many think the Japanese should introduce a reliable and refined cruiser within ₹2 lakhs? A shout-out to Yamaha Enticer 🙌

One of my favorite automobile journalist ❤ Always a wonderful review.

do drag race of commando 300 sports

The only thing going for these bikes is lesser competition in this segment

If the Sport S in matte black colour would be awesome! just like Sons Of Anarchy Harley Davidson. Tbh I like both. These cruisers are better for beginner rider.

please review renegade sport 180

when its launch in india

Can you guys possible make a video that compares the renegade twins with the avenger twins?

ooh... am waiting for intruder...

240 KPH, are you kidding me? Now I'm truly bought on the Renegade Sport S

Is the renegade sport s worth the money

What's the problem if a bike can reach 70kmph in first gear?

WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE "HERO IMPULSE 250CC" ?? 2016?

u guys are very late this time...i was waiting for this review for very long time

nice vdo...

Guys in time u will see it for ursleves... this is gonna occupy a lot of share in 250 - 350 segment... provided if the UM motors give better services. Yeah I agree that it's bit costlier and less fuel efficient than RE, but it's totally worth it !!!!!

Ranchi me KB aye ga

The anchor looks better than the bikes😄😄😹

what about vibrations in commando

I just remembered bajaj avenjer

Lots of problem after I take it..... Spoil my life and my bike love..... Sevice center people also don't know what to do....... No parts available

anybody who already ordered the bike?? I so wanna buy this bike but wanna know user experience..I understand the reviews about finishing-the plastic quality r not so appreciating but cumon guys these r pre production model, they ought to b little hazy...I believe the production models will b better...it's costlier than RE but im gonna buy it for the looks 💘

How top speed in renegade commando

Nice bike

Please suggest me i am confused in UM sport S & Thunderbird X 350 Or suggest me best my budget is 2lac

Really!! Are these bikes are from Uttrakhand(Kashipur)

I like usb port added in the bike I recommend every motorcycle company to add that feature...

how about harley there?

Minus points for rear drum brake.

I want review of r15s

Nice

Wow! Way Better than HD, really sporty and big engine !!!! Love the shiny plastics !!!

Hii autocar.. What does pre production prototype means.. Can end product be different as per the quality and built?

hi sir how are the vibrations compared to a royal enfield

Do these have ABS???

i am a fan of u guys but , u guys only concentrate on new protection bike's and i appropriate that. still there r bikes that r old but still on demand... for eg: pulsar 220f which u guys haven't reviewed about. so plz do consider ma request. make sure Ur employees look after the that too.... thank you. i defiantly enjoy every one of ur episodes.... gud luck guys

It is just a "Rajdoot" with foreign sticker.

This bike looks awesome 😍

why no dull disk?

As a user of um commando.. i would suggest my friends to buy tvs xl instead of um product.

So UM can sell olive green in India and RE cannot ???

I just booked mine. according to the price sheet Ex showroom price is 185000, Insurance is 6754, Road tax and registration is 21500, Accessories and handling is 3500 Total is 217000. is this the price all over india?
