User Review of Ronin by Santhosh Selvaraj

This is a premium category bike for TVS and was only available in some showrooms when I was purchasing it. So they gave the best experience also they mentioned they will start servicing in more showrooms so service won't be a big problem. Within 6 months or so they did what they were told and got services from my nearby tvs showrooms. The riding experience is very good especially since you don't need to change gears a lot. In Top Gear itself, you can ride at 24kmph speed using GTT. The seat comfort is also good, you won't get back pain at all when you go long rides on this bike. Some people don't like the looks but for me I like it. But now I think there should be automatic headlights in this bike like the one in Mavrick 440. That "T" DRL will look good if all lights can be turned off or there are automatic headlights. I think this bike gives you the best mileage in 70-80 kmph speed (not sure) or keeps the rpm between 4-6k . I once got 48 mileage. I think it varies between 42-50 based on your riding style and road conditions. I have done only 3 services which all are below 1500 or 1600. I don't know about paid service costs. The back tyre is almost worn out now(below 12k) I think I can ride another 500 km on that if you properly change tyres or you can go 15k also if you are a person who wishes to see your tyres like Moto GP bike's tyres.
Pros: good mileage
Good looks(subject to different personal opinion)
Good comfort
Good pricing
It can go for occasional off-roading since it comes with dual dual-purpose tyre
Cons: can't switch off lights at day time so you can't ride with "T" Drl
After some time headlight color changes to blue(a common issue)
Some bikes report seats getting soaked in rain (you can buy Ronin seat cover to overcome this issue)
There should be a metal engine guard, it comes with a plastic engine guard
Nb: I suggest you can go for this bike rather than going for hunter 350,atleast do a test ride before purchasing it
You can join https://t.me/TvsRonin if you are from Kerala and owns a ronin so that you can share your experience

About the Reviewer

Cons: let's start with this one, in the city where you juggle between 1st and 2nd gear this engine heats up. In Bengaluru traffic, there have been some horrible days where I had to keep my seat so far that it would not touch the tank. But this only happens in extreme traffic.
Now about Pros:
Service cost is less compared to other bikes I have seen.
Long ride :
Buttersmooth experience, I went on a solo ride from Bengaluru to the Rann of Kutch with some heavy luggage and I did not face any issues whatsoever. Even in the hot conditions of Gujrat and Mumbai engine stayed cool and performed best.
Comfort is exceptional, I am around 5'7 and it is really comfortable, even though I am quite heavy the ride was not tiring at all.
I took this one in some of the really bad roads but no back pain at any point.
The mileage was around 40+, I did not track it much though.
Daily commute: easy on legs and not tiring.
Touring kit: TVS provides some customized touring kits for this one which you can buy online or from the Service center which is cool
Overall experience: engine heating in the initial days is there, I heard it's the same with many other 200cc+ bikes too, so it's not a big deal. But apart from that this bike is exceptionally good. I love it.
Windshield: I bought the one available from Amazon for Meteor 650.

About the Reviewer

The TVS Ronin is a well-rounded motorcycle that caters to both city commuters and touring enthusiasts. Its 225.9cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine delivers a peppy performance with a strong low and mid-range pull. The bike's comfortable ergonomics, plush ride quality, and agile handling make it a capable city companion. Additionally, the Ronin is equipped with a host of modern features like full-LED lighting, Bluetooth connectivity, voice assist, and dual-channel ABS. While the top-end variant's price of Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom) may seem steep, the bike offers good value with its comprehensive feature list. The only downsides are the lack of dual-channel ABS across the range and slightly underwhelming highway performance. Overall, the TVS Ronin is a well-executed retro-styled motorcycle that strikes a good balance between style, technology, and practicality.

1) I raised my budget to buy this bike, it's Hassel free buying experience.
2) The riding experience as expected is good and the sturdy road in the special local area runs smoothly.
3) it looks sporty and tour bike.
4) there is no issue till now in maintenance and services.
5) pros:- very comfortable for long runs and breaks are working very well, especially riding experience is super cool for long route off-road places.
Cons:- ground clearance is not that good for heavy off-road and pillon rider slips sometimes due to the back seat is a downside which is a bad part I felt personally and got reviews from friends as well.

About the Reviewer

I am not buying this bike but one of my close friends bought this bike a previous year, I went with him to the showroom when I saw the bike the first time in the showroom, I loved that bike but for me the cost of the bike is high but I say that I ride my friends bike almost 2000-3000 km in many trips, I feel a luxurious comfort I can explain it. The mileage is decent in my opinion.
Now when I post that review I am planning to buy this bike in 2024, so in my opinion, if your budget is below 2lac and you also want a retro bike then you must go for it without second thought.
yes I am confused btw Hunter 350 and tvs Ronin but I say the comfort and the additional things that can provide by ronin , Hunter can not provide that with that money , so that is all my opinion about ronin.

About the Reviewer

It has a great sitting seat which makes it comfortable and also a short-height bike which makes it easy to control. By looks and performance, it's a decent bike. Service and maintenance is also easy. It has a decent refined engine. Its disadvantage is noticeable that is geared some notchy type and its mudguard design can also be made better.

About the Reviewer

The bike is very good in terms of looks and mileage but there is just a problem with the bike gear shifting pedal. TVS Ronin just has a single-gear shifter pedal the problem with the single-gear shifter pedal is the shoes of the rider tear very fast all cruiser bikes give a double-gear shifter pedal for rider comfort while shifting gears. If TVs provides double gear shifter pedal variant in the future the sales of Ronin will boost and break the sales records of all cruiser bikes because many riders will shift to another company bike due to only offering a single gear shifter pedal in Ronin
