UM Renegade Commando Classic Carburettor version has been launched in India. It is placed below the FI variant, as it competes with Jawa 300 and Royal Enfield Classic 350.
UM Lohia has launched the carburettor version of Commando Classic. Classic is the entry-level UM bike in India. It comes at a price tag of Rs 1.95 Lakhs (ex-showroom), which is Rs 6,000 cheaper than the FI variant.
Other than this, there are no mechanical changes on the cruiser. It continues with the same engine setup, however, the power figure has decreased a bit. The torque figure remains the same.
The American-styled cruiser is the best selling UM cruiser. The lineup of UM Lohia includes Commando Classic, Commando, Mojave and Sport S. All are cruisers but with different bodywork and design.

UM Renegade Commando Classic gets the proper American Style. Its design highlights include a large comfortable seat, a backrest, huge fuel tank, wire spoke wheels, windscreen and huge chrome inserts. These highlights make the bike look as retro as it can get.
UM Lohia made its first appearance in India in 2016. However, for the past 2 years, it has failed to make a mark in the entry-level premium motorcycle segment. It currently offers 4 models, all of which are tanking in the market.
On an approx, UM sells 500 units per month. Sometimes, the figures go down as well. A price reduction will help the brand to strategize its game in this segment.
