Hi - I have the commando for since Feb now. Some comments from me. It heats up like hell in city drives in traffic . I have done around 1500 kms in and around Pune - I had to top up coolant at least thrice so far. Shifting from 1st to 2nd is a big pain. 3rd onwards on highways its smooth. I did touch 120 --could have done more ; but I rode with an open face helmet and the air was trying to pull my helmet off. Braking is so so - overall I love its looks and highway rides. Have done the ghats around Pune. And quite satisfied
Nice to hear from an owner. Actually this is my friends bike. We have almost fought with um and got resolved the issues you told. They have upgraded to a bigger coolant tank and a better fan and radiator. The gear box was quite chunky and fed up with it. Now they have moded some part inside and shifts are smooth now. Please check with your dealer for these upgrades.
Shireesh Joshi I am getting mine on 30th how many percentage did you pay as road tax ? in tamilnadu it's 8% of Ex showroom price. do you like the bike or you regret buying it ?
Hi - sorry for late reply-saw your post now. Since you would have already bought it by now.. No regrets buying this bike . I too paid around 5k as Roat tax
Lol my big bro has commando and i have bajaj Ns200 I love the reaction of his face When he lose the race against me He had so much attitude of it And i broke it 😎😎😎
alot better than RE ! in terms of performance.. also no Noise better looking in some sense , only the service quality and future upgrades in quality department is the key , if they want to come out with a bang..
I rate 3.5/5 for the fit and finish. In other words neither good not bad. The metallic parts on Command is good. But when it comes to plastics, it lacks the shine and premium feel which other bikes in the same price range gives.
hey the stalls in your test drives.. i also got them and i have not ridden for some time. it was kinda put off. u think its because of bad tuning in the test bikes?
ok i have had ridden bikes but not much my life been all scooters thanks to my sister.. but i have ridden them to its end. This would be my first Permanent geared bike. And i need a cruiser i am tall and heavy. Would you suggest this bike at par or over a RE.
My friend hasnt got the bike yet because of transportation issues. He will be getting this next week. I will do a detailed comparison of this bike with an RE after that. Hope that will be fine for you.
He is very much happy about it. I will be doing a complete review on this bike in a month. Stay tuned with the channel for that. It will be having updates based on owner's point of view.
Do you feel any thigh pain or back pain while driving in the city? as I'm used to get those pains in my Bajaj Avenger because of Foot pegs leaned forwards and low seat height.I'm confused between RE 350 or UM commando to go for
There are no pains on thighs or back while riding this for long time. And btw I will be doing a RE350 vs UM commando comparison in a month. I have got both the bikes. Just stay tuned with the channel for that.
Haha. I havnt done that yet and a video comes out in a channel out of the planning of a week work or more. Thats why to a safe side, I told a month. And I am touring for all upcoming weekends :) Anyway I will try my best to bring it as soon as possible.
I havnt ridden an Avenger for so long till date. Once this bike is available , I am planning to take avenage and Renegade together for a ride. I will update you with a different video itself :) Please wait till then.
I know this is a bad answer, but still I dont know :D . The bike has been test ridden and not even delivered. Stay tuned with the channel since I come with a ownership review :)
No man. We didn't. The motorcycle has got a dent and few scratches on transit. Showroom guys are repairing it for free now. So we are waiting for the delivery. More over I am planing to do the review after riding it for 2 service. Because it's more important to ride a used bike than a fresh one.
Coming soon. The test vehicles are not the not one which gonna deliver. So I am waiting for their updated bikes to reach Bangalore. It should happen by sept 1 week.
Observations on top speed has been updated in the comment section : ) Thanks for letting me know on that. Gear box is pretty good. If you are ok with KTM's , then you wont find any problem with this too. There are slight issues with build quality on Sport S. I believe it is because of the more plastics on the bike. Commando is a stable , rigid bike. More metalic parts and strong too. Plastics are of bit low quality when compare to Honda and Suzuki vehicles.
SInce you ride a CBR 250r I'd like to know which you'd choose from the market at the moment..renegade commando or cbr 250r. CBR 250R is like an old bike since there are no new models. But based on all the spec and pricing based on current market..please tell me what to choose
You have the answer if you are asking me. Its CBR250R. Simply because I am a sports bike fan. CBR is a proved biked and renegade is not yet. The pricing of renegade doesnt seems aggressive. Its up to the market price when you look from engine perspective. But there are few cosmetic plastic issues with bike. The plastics doesnt look so good. No reviewer has ever said, renegade engines are bad. But all complains on looks and build quality. One should go for Renegade for below reasons. - I am looking for a cruise bike, which can cruise - I wanna cruise in 110Kmph and want to overtake from this speed occasionally -Want something different from Avenger and RE thunderbird.
Thanks I like CBR250R but Im also looking for something different.I dont particularly have a taste in sports or cruisers because this would be my first bike.I guess I'll just wait a little longer to see if UM does something to improve the bikes.
Yeah CBR is an old bike now :D . Nothing special other than some cosmetic changes from Honda. If you are looking for something different, I will suggest you to have a ride on Mojo, TNT300 and upcoming models like BMW310R, CS400.
You cannot compare a TB500 with this :) . TB500 is a proved bike. Its very sturdy and heavy bike when compared to Renegade. On the other hand Renegade has much more comfortable seats and less vibrations than a TB, ON TOP SPEEDS :). Renegade is easy to ride and quick in response on lower speeds. TB on the other hand is a matured vehicle. The fit and finish of TB is absolutely amazing and Renegade still need to work on this part. I WILL SUGGEST YOU TO DO A TEST DRIVE ON BOTH THE BIKES AND TAKE A DECISION.
Now that's exactly why I'm confused. I want a bike with good build. But then I prefer riding at around 100kmph And people say that the vibrations kick in after 80. Literally the only thing holding me back from taking the tb500 is the fact that people compare a lot about its vibrations at higher speeds. But then I'll be doing city rides more than cruising. So quick in response at lower speeds is necessary. Which also means I won't really feel the vibrations as higher speeds won't be achieved within the city. I'm so mindfucked right now.
RE is not so quick. Up to me, Rengade is the quickest in the segment. Vibes start at 110Kmph. So that will be a good choice. But wait for sometime to fix all issue which gonna report by first batch people.
Yes CBR is a good option is and its on the other end of biking. One is cruiser and other is a sports tourer. I dont endorse pulsar's much because of the build quality issues they recently had with RS200. Bike is nice and cheap.
Hi! I was waiting for this kind of real review from an user. And I would like to say you did a wonderful and honest review. I admire that. Lot of confusion are clear now. I am sure that you must have shifted to top gear after 120kph. My question to you that- Is it possible to cruise without vibration at 120 with 6th gear.. after Engine Run-in period...?? -Saroj
Arey mere bhai kyu commando ki insult krwa rhe ho 152 me gya hu apni commando classic se meerut to delhi 6 lines pr jis pr 1000 ka challan bhi kata😂😂😂 mera
Keeway Blackster 250i is waaaaay better than this crap and that's what I am getting it comes with V twin engine, front and back disk brakes, awesome build quality, neutral gear, logo not made of sticker, no plastic components near the engine all which are not to found in camando

Thanks. Dealer had confirmed on the coolant tank. Will check on other points
Shireesh Joshi I am getting mine on 30th how many percentage did you pay as road tax ? in tamilnadu it's 8% of Ex showroom price. do you like the bike or you regret buying it ?
Hi - sorry for late reply-saw your post now. Since you would have already bought it by now.. No regrets buying this bike . I too paid around 5k as Roat tax
sorry the road tax is also @10%
Wonderful video nice dude nice speed
Thanks :)
Lol my big bro has commando and i have bajaj Ns200
I love the reaction of his face
When he lose the race against me
He had so much attitude of it
And i broke it 😎😎😎
Ha ha ha
I can hear the engine is relaxed at 120. Can it handle that 120 Km/h over a long period of time? lets say one hour? Thanks for the video!
Sure, we tried riding it constantly between 110 and 120. No issues.
@@iamstrell Thanks dude"
alot better than RE ! in terms of performance.. also no Noise
better looking in some sense , only the service quality and future upgrades in quality department is the key , if they want to come out with a bang..
How's the fit N finish of the bike ? they didn't look that impressive when I saw them at the Auto Expo...
I rate 3.5/5 for the fit and finish. In other words neither good not bad. The metallic parts on Command is good. But when it comes to plastics, it lacks the shine and premium feel which other bikes in the same price range gives.
Strell yeah....exactly
They are manufacturing it kashipur in uttranchal and company is Latin American based. Nice bike worth waiting
Boas amigo, esta mota é uma 125cc?
300
Thats the 125cc version right? Did you said that you tuch 135kph? Mine only made 120kph. Did you made any alteration on the bike. And If so, what?
It's a stock bike bro 😊
Bullet avenger se acha hai??
300cc????
What is the speed of this bike
hey the stalls in your test drives.. i also got them and i have not ridden for some time. it was kinda put off. u think its because of bad tuning in the test bikes?
Yes it a tuning issue. The stall issue on test ride bike is fixed by increasing the idle acceleration.
ok i have had ridden bikes but not much my life been all scooters thanks to my sister.. but i have ridden them to its end. This would be my first Permanent geared bike. And i need a cruiser i am tall and heavy. Would you suggest this bike at par or over a RE.
My friend hasnt got the bike yet because of transportation issues. He will be getting this next week. I will do a detailed comparison of this bike with an RE after that. Hope that will be fine for you.
sure buddy thank you ever so much.
Hey Strell was about to book dominar until i saw this bike on road today!! What's your opinion on both the bikes? Your friend is happy with the bike?
He is very much happy about it. I will be doing a complete review on this bike in a month. Stay tuned with the channel for that. It will be having updates based on owner's point of view.
Renegade 300?
125cc?
BRo Recently i booked one,do you have any idea about where can we do the services because there are only few showrooms
Yeah man true. If you are in Bangalore, you gonna have 2 showrooms for services.
+Strell But i am not in Banglore I am from kerala there is only one showroom
Then I will suggest you to depend on that showroom itself. Try not to service the bike anywhere outside local shops.
Do you feel any thigh pain or back pain while driving in the city? as I'm used to get those pains in my Bajaj Avenger because of Foot pegs leaned forwards and low seat height.I'm confused between RE 350 or UM commando to go for
There are no pains on thighs or back while riding this for long time. And btw I will be doing a RE350 vs UM commando comparison in a month. I have got both the bikes. Just stay tuned with the channel for that.
Why waiting for a month? Please do it ASAP then you will be the 1st reviewer to do a comparison test😊
Haha. I havnt done that yet and a video comes out in a channel out of the planning of a week work or more. Thats why to a safe side, I told a month. And I am touring for all upcoming weekends :) Anyway I will try my best to bring it as soon as possible.
125 cc?
Would you recommend this over the Bajaj Avenger?
I havnt ridden an Avenger for so long till date. Once this bike is available , I am planning to take avenage and Renegade together for a ride. I will update you with a different video itself :) Please wait till then.
Hey any idea what is on road price for commando Matt Green in Bengaluru?
2.05 L
Your Friend got bike? When can we see detailed review ?
we saw the bike today. The bike has got few scratches during transportation. Hence the delivery is set for next week.
Where is price this bike
Eider zara bike price low price
It is 125 or 150?
there are two versions, the 200 CC and the 279 CC
I know this is a bad question for 280cc bike... What's the mileage?
I know this is a bad answer, but still I dont know :D . The bike has been test ridden and not even delivered. Stay tuned with the channel since I come with a ownership review :)
Any ways dominor bajaj and ktm series duke are worthy bikes
Which location is it in the beginning of the video ?
Its Somapura at Nice road exit. :)
Hey strell can u tell all about its instrument console..
What all it shows via video
Hi Prince. The console is very minimal. It has odo, gear indicator, fuel and a trip meter
This is how it looks . th-cam.com/video/3ZWIlBd0CYs/w-d-xo.html
+Strell what are those 3 small squares in the leftfor?
They seems to be engine health check lights. I not sure about it. Will let you know soon,once the bike comes.
+Strell have u booked it too?
How many seconds it will take to reach 100kmph? Can it beat duke 200 ?
Sam George Bush no way bro no way
9 secs
I hope by now u got the vehicle....can u please update the review???
No man. We didn't. The motorcycle has got a dent and few scratches on transit. Showroom guys are repairing it for free now. So we are waiting for the delivery. More over I am planing to do the review after riding it for 2 service. Because it's more important to ride a used bike than a fresh one.
Strell I'm in confusion to choose in between dominor and commando can u help??
Both are different kind of biking. Renegade will be an absolute fun to ride motorcycle on highways. Where as Dominar will be good for city.
which will serve for both purpose...? Long drive and city
I am actually worried about the vibes on commando...How far the vibes on the commando compared to dominor.
a detailed review??
Coming soon. The test vehicles are not the not one which gonna deliver. So I am waiting for their updated bikes to reach Bangalore. It should happen by sept 1 week.
Above what speed do you feel vibrations? also please comment on the gear box and build quality
Observations on top speed has been updated in the comment section : ) Thanks for letting me know on that.
Gear box is pretty good. If you are ok with KTM's , then you wont find any problem with this too.
There are slight issues with build quality on Sport S. I believe it is because of the more plastics on the bike. Commando is a stable , rigid bike. More metalic parts and strong too. Plastics are of bit low quality when compare to Honda and Suzuki vehicles.

One should go for Renegade for below reasons.
- I am looking for a cruise bike, which can cruise
- I wanna cruise in 110Kmph and want to overtake from this speed occasionally
-Want something different from Avenger and RE thunderbird.
Thanks
I like CBR250R but Im also looking for something different.I dont particularly have a taste in sports or cruisers because this would be my first bike.I guess I'll just wait a little longer to see if UM does something to improve the bikes.
Yeah CBR is an old bike now :D . Nothing special other than some cosmetic changes from Honda. If you are looking for something different, I will suggest you to have a ride on Mojo, TNT300 and upcoming models like BMW310R, CS400.
This vs thunderbird 500?
What to choose? :l
You cannot compare a TB500 with this :) .
TB500 is a proved bike. Its very sturdy and heavy bike when compared to Renegade.

Now that's exactly why I'm confused.
I want a bike with good build.
But then I prefer riding at around 100kmph
And people say that the vibrations kick in after 80.
Literally the only thing holding me back from taking the tb500 is the fact that people compare a lot about its vibrations at higher speeds.
But then I'll be doing city rides more than cruising.
So quick in response at lower speeds is necessary. Which also means I won't really feel the vibrations as higher speeds won't be achieved within the city. I'm so mindfucked right now.

+Strell true true. I'm to get a bike by coming April. Enough time?
Yeah thats enough. By then the first batch would have atleast completed 6K Kms.
Bike looks awesome too. A quick question you can answer. How are the vibrations ? What speeds are manageable on this bike.
Top speed observations are there in the description. 120 is a manageable speed on this bike.
you got the bike??
Expected date is on Sept 1st week. It going on and on and on :(
So what was the top speed?
135 km/h
superb
Thanks :)
bro any vibration at that speed ?
Please check the description. I have captured my observations :)
Any updates of delivery ? I want your complete reviews 😭
I believe a week more to go man. Even I am waiting for the delivery :(
do you know anyone who actually owns this bike? I was thinking of buying it but I'm not too sure
My friend getting this bike , this month
I think i'll go for the CBR250R. Two really contrasting bikes I know, but CBR seems like a safer option. What do you think?
Also what are your thoughts on the pulsar RS200?
Yes CBR is a good option is and its on the other end of biking. One is cruiser and other is a sports tourer. I dont endorse pulsar's much because of the build quality issues they recently had with RS200. Bike is nice and cheap.
Alright... Thanks for the inputs :)
Its 125?
there are two versions, the 200 CC and the 279 CC
Hi!
I was waiting for this kind of real review from an user. And I would like to say you did a wonderful and honest review. I admire that. Lot of confusion are clear now.
I am sure that you must have shifted to top gear after 120kph. My question to you that- Is it possible to cruise without vibration at 120 with 6th gear.. after Engine Run-in period...??
-Saroj
I shifted to top gear after 130kmph. Cruising at 120kmph is a peaceful ride on a Renegade Commando.
top speed
Go for R15 V3 you will get the same high speed
bro its 150cc ?
125
😂125@@atamsenkalkbenyatam4896
very nice
The engine sounds like a moped still.
Me too .. touched 135km/hr.. we can reach 140km/hr if road is nice.
Dastagiri Bala my commando is burning like hell even for shorter rides. is it normal??
Rahul k .. my commando is not giving that much heat.. better check in servicing centre..
My Bajaj AVENGER 220 top speed achieved 135kmph solo
I have um commando to it goes for 150
👌👍👍👍
Arey mere bhai kyu commando ki insult krwa rhe ho 152 me gya hu apni commando classic se meerut to delhi 6 lines pr jis pr 1000 ka challan bhi kata😂😂😂 mera
Nice
i think after 3 services it will reach 145kmph
Hopefully :)
It will bro It may take a few services to open up!
Bhai 145 Mane chlayi hai
