TVS Ronin price in Agartala

After one or two months of use, the gear shifting indicator stopped working, and the service is pathetic. Parts are not available. The bike is smoother in the class, with good road presence. The exhaust note is very sweet in the segment. Pick-up is good. At this price point, it does deliver a good amount of pros to pick this bike.

About the Reviewer

1st test ride was 100 meters so I was dissatisfied and called the dealership of Tvs and took another test ride.
Purchase procedures were not hectic but there internal procedures of moving the documents for getting the bike registered were quite slow.
Coming to the review of the bike-
Pros:
1. Overall riding posture is quite good for both city rides and even longer rides.
2. Handling of the bike is quite smooth and comfortable.
3. ABS works very very good
4. The stability of the bike at high speeds is very good.
5. Engine quality till now felt good
6. Mileage for a 225cc is approx 35kmpl which is decent
7. Slipper clutch at this price range with a few other features like Bluetooth, USD forks, adjustable brake& clutch levers, etc are appreciable.
Cons:
1. Though overall riding posture is good the foot brake lever position is placed a bit inward which causes your knee pain after traveling in a high-traffic area where the use of brakes is heavy.
2. Using too much clutch makes the engine hot very quickly.
3. Random issues with the bike are very very frequent and very disturbing and for that you will have to spend extra time and money to get it fixed, however service centers of TVS make a decent effort to do the needful.
Issues I have faced are- Cracky noise in the chain which does not go away fully, Headlight turned blue and then replaced and then the new one stopped working totally, tappet sound also noticed, the front of the bike shaking too much while at smooth roads and rev is not as per the gear compression ratio (very sensitive gear compression ratio), Color of few parts easily come off, accessories like charger sold by TVS are not reliable, gear sensor stops working, DTE (reading of distance to empty) does not work properly.
4. Rear brakes are not up to the mark based on the power, torque, and capacity of the bike.
5. The bike engine cuts off unusually sometimes.
Overall the cons win over the pros if you look for a new bike without much hassle.
Hence I would recommend not going for this one as it will upset you easily.

Buying experience was great, Shaw TVS employees are very polite, sales person offered me ₹2000 discount.
I've been riding this bike around 2000kms since 20th may.. everything seems fine in terms of performance, upright riding posture, headlight illumination, tractable handling, comfortable seat cushion, comfortable and balanced suspension setup... Mileage is quite good around 40kmpl.. this bike looks very unusual and sexy.. dual channel ABS works very well.. Smooth gear shifting and light clutch give you a painless experience..
Service at TVS service centre depends on the cooperation of the manager, if you realise that you are not getting helped by them just mention the name of the manager and the name of the service centre on the recent insta post of TVS Ronin to get the instant help from the TVS.
Pros: Adjustable brake and clutch lever, slipper clutch, smooth gear shifting, light weight, Style, handling, suspension, seat cushion, headlight, ground clearance, dual purpose tyre etc.
Cons: certain chain noise, narrow viewing angle of the mirrors, rear tyre could have been a little wider (140 instead of 130), TVS Tru4 synthetic engine oil is not good etc.
