About the Reviewer

Its good retro-looking bike and smooth and good exhaust sound. Just got my first service and after a week there is sound from rare suspension.
Overall features are good.
There is a problem in the rainy season. The front tyre throw lot of water on the shoes and pant and this is so irritating.

TVS Ronin After 32,867 KM — Not Just a Bike, But a Journey Partner
After riding my TVS Ronin for over 32,867 kilometers, I can say this bike has been more than just a machine — it has been my travel companion, my daily commuter, and sometimes even my escape from routine life. We’ve been through early morning rides, long highways, heavy rain, broken village roads, traffic chaos, and peaceful sunset cruises.
When I bought the Ronin, I was drawn to its unique neo-retro design. Even today, it still turns heads. The styling has aged gracefully, and despite years of use, the bike still looks premium. Of course, there are a few scratches and signs of wear — but to me, those marks feel like badges of adventure, not flaws.
Engine & Performance Over Time
The 225.9cc engine has proven to be reliable and smooth even after crossing 30k+ km. It starts without hesitation, runs consistently, and hasn’t given me any major mechanical trouble. The power delivery is relaxed and refined — perfect for someone who enjoys calm, controlled riding rather than racing. It’s not built for speed thrills, and the missing 6th gear becomes noticeable on highways above 100 km/h. Still, for steady cruising and daily use, it performs confidently.
Mileage & Real-World Efficiency
Even after years of riding, mileage remains impressive:
City: 38–42 km/l
Highway: 42–45 km/l
With a 14-litre fuel tank, I often cover 500+ km on a full tank, which has saved both money and fuel stops on long trips.
Comfort & Long-Distance Riding
Comfort is where the Ronin truly shines. The upright posture, wide handlebars, and well-padded seat make long rides surprisingly manageable. I’ve completed multiple 300–500 km day rides, and while some fatigue is natural, the bike never feels punishing. The suspension handles rough roads well, though the pillion seat isn’t ideal for long journeys.
Servicing, Maintenance & Reliability
I’ve serviced the bike every 5,000–6,000 km. Maintenance has been reasonable and predictable:
Regular engine oil changes
Brake pads replaced once
Chain and sprocket maintenance
Tires replaced around 25,000 km
Battery replaced once
No engine rebuilds or major failures
TVS service centers are widely available, though service quality depends on location. Overall, upkeep costs have stayed affordable.
Final Thoughts
After 32,867 km, I don’t see the Ronin as just a bike — it feels like a trusted companion that has carried me through experiences, places, and memories. It’s not the fastest, not the most aggressive, but it is comfortable, reliable, fuel-efficient, and emotionally satisfying.
If you want a bike that feels easy to live with, dependable over years, and perfect for calm touring and daily riding, the TVS Ronin won’t disappoint.

About the Reviewer

Writing the review after more than 1.5 year. For someone who is riding a 200cc+ bike will feel great, only until you give it for the 1st service. For someone who wants a stronger performance, go away this bike is not for you. I'll put it simple
Pros : good looks, waiting for a copyright case from tesla. Good performance under speed 80. Note this !! Comfortable posture, can be better.
Construction: at this price range 225 cc does not cut it. Add few thousand and you get 300+ cc bikes.
Above 80 bike vibrates like a vibrator. At 100 just forget it. I would want a 225 cc bikes to more durable for atleast 100.
TVS service ruins the bike. They will make sure it's ruined. All 4 times my service experience has been bad.
Clutch loosens very fast. Gear transmission is very jerky. If you ask the service man, he will say come here weekly we will keep fixing it and not for free. I compromised and now regret the decision. Don't follow me

About the Reviewer

The bike is overall very good its performance, power, comfort, features all are amazing but there are two major problems which takes over all these qualities and make me feel to buy hunter 350 instead they are the paint quality of it is very bad, in just 5-6 months i can see rusting and the tyre quality is also very bad it gets punture very easliy and it needs air refill in every 20-25 days

About the Reviewer

I bought a TVS ronin 224 and after just one day of drive I found a bad irritating sound from the engine and an annoying sound from the bottom of the bike. I regret for spending so much money on this bike. Please do not buy otherwise u will suffer just like me. I showed the service boy under the dealership but they said it's a chain noise but still the noise persists and also the next day another bad sound comes from the rear brake pad. I wonder buying a new bike and all this is happening just after one day of driving. Please TVS say what the issue is and how to solve the problem. Thank you
