REVIEW
The Renegade Commando from the UM motorcycles range, looks like a bike made for those who want to wander free, its tough looks, sturdy build and retro styling demonstrates that it has been designed for the toughest roads of which there are plenty in India! and it takes us back to the early days of biking, when the nomadic cruisers roamed the earth.
The Renegade commands respect as it purrs effortlessly done the road, its head turning looks and its ‘mean on the streets’ design guarantees admiration from onlookers.
Its colour variations certainly match its looks. The Renegade Commando is available in three colour options: Commando Black Shine, for those who command attention, but like it subtle!
Commando Burgundy Shine for those who like to stand apart from the crowd; loud and proud, and the Commando Matt Moss Green our flagship colour, for the Rebel who doesn't just command attention, but also likes to soak in the glory of being one-of-a-kind.
Please note: For the competition finishing in November 2017, the bike will be in the Burgundy Shine and will be signed by Leslie Porterfield on the tank; no other colour option will be available (a true one-off!).
So we know it looks good, but what lies beneath?

WIDER TYRES
The wider rear tyre imparts a muscular yet stylish look to the Renegade Commando, along with improving it’s handling and cornering capabilities.
Apart from providing stability to the machine, the wide tyres also aid in better braking, boosting the rider’s confidence.
So there you go, a relatively new addition to the roads of India but finding a dedicated group of followers. Winabike predict that as the brand grows and more bikes, features and specifications are added to the UM Range, we will see a lot more on the streets of India.
Good luck from the Winabike team!
