2017 UM Renegade Commando Classic review, road test

UM has an unmistakably American cruiser theme going for it. The Classic, as the name implies, is designed along the lines of classic American cruisers, and boy does it turn a fair amount of heads. It
gets a dual-tone paint scheme as well as an all-black one, along with swathes of chrome that give it a rather classy look. It also gets a large front windscreen that comes as an accessory and completes its highway cruiser image. In fact, you would be forgiven if you thought it was a larger-displacement cruiser; it certainly has the road presence that will leave an impression on bystanders.

The only area that could do with a little improvement is the tank-mounted speedometer; it is a bit difficult to read on the go due to its positioning. There’s also a small digital display within the analogue speedometer that has a gear indicator, a fuel gauge and an odometer.
