Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginners or riders who want a low-stress, easygoing machine rather than outright performance.
PurposeIt is built as a cruiser-styled commuter for relaxed short rides and city use rather than genuine long-distance touring despite its category label.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it accessible and easy to manage for riders of smaller stature or less physical strength.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, classic cruiser personality with modest single-cylinder power delivery and unhurried, torque-light acceleration.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking highway overtaking power, aggressive cornering ability, or serious off-road capability.

2018 UM Renegade Classic Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 UM Renegade Classic, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
