UM Launches Commando Classic Carb Variant At Rs 1.95 Lakh

UM Motorcycles has launched a carburetted variant of the Commando Classic at Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The bike will be powered by the same 279.5cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine as the fuel-injected Commando Classic. However, the engine will be fed fuel via a carburettor instead of a fuel injector setup. Apart from the inclusion of a carburettor, the rest of the mechanicals are the same. And although there’s no word from UM on the same, there could possibly be a colour update to go with this new variant.

The inclusion of a carburettor has lowered the price of the Commando Classic by Rs 6,000. However, the carburetted variant also produces lower peak power than its fuel-injected counterpart. While the FI variant pumps out 25.15PS, the carb variant produces 23.7PS. That said, torque figures remain the same for both variants at 23Nm. In theory, the lower power figures might affect the bike’s top-end performance.
