Expert Verdict on Ronin
The TVS Ronin offers strong build quality, a comfortable riding experience, and a decently powerful engine. It is also rich in features and the latest technology. However, its engine lacks outright punch for highway riding, and the design is also very radical when compared with rivals.
ExpertPros & Cons of TVS Ronin
Should I buy the Ronin?
TVS Ronin is primarily a city commuter bike. It has a radical yet unique design that may or may not appeal to customers. The radical design offers good comfort to the rider as it has a relaxed riding position. Meanwhile, the top variant of it is fully loaded with features like Bluetooth connectivity & a dual-channel ABS. It rivals the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 which is the best-seller in this segment. We recommend the Ronin for its solid build quality & torque-rich performance.
- The Agonda Edition stands out with a clean white base inspired by Goa's calm Agonda beach, instantly giving the Ronin a lighter, fresher, lifestyle-oriented aesthetic.
- Retro Blue-Red Pinstripes: Its retro-style blue and red five-stripe graphics add a vintage personality to the motorcycle, creating a sleek, uncluttered visual flow across the tank and bodywork.
- The special Agonda badging on top of the fuel tank reinforces its limited-edition identity, making the motorcycle look more premium and distinct within the Ronin lineup.
- The Agonda Edition gets a fresh seat cover design that complements the coastal-inspired paint scheme, subtly enhancing the bike’s visual comfort and adding to its relaxed, weekender personality.
- The white-led, stripe-based graphics give the Ronin's Agonda Edition a clean appearance without visual heaviness, appealing to city riders who prefer minimal, understated yet stylish motorcycles.
- Despite its new colours, the Agonda Edition stays faithful to the Ronin’s modern-retro silhouette, ensuring the motorcycle remains instantly recognisable while offering a refreshing visual twist.
Ronin body specifications:
| Seat Height | 795 mm |
| Weight | 160 kg |
| Wheel Size | 17 inches inch |
| Fuel Tank Capacity | 14 liters |
- The square engine of the Ronin is designed for good low-end torque and better mid-range performance. Inside the city, it feels very easy to ride and has a lot of torque to potter in higher gears. But, out on the highway, the bike feels out of breath above 90 kmph. Also, the 5-speed transmission has short throws, and it is engineered for short gear ratios. Therefore, the Ronin’s engine is best suited for city riding.
- The fuel economy of this engine is also decent. In our tests, the bike easily gave more than 35 kmpl inside the city, even after riding it hard and fast.
- The USD front suspension and the preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear help provide a very comfortable riding experience on the Ronin. The bike remains pliant on undulations and bumps. Over the cracks of the road and bad roads, the Ronin remains confident yet comfortable.
- The easy riding position and low centre of gravity aid in the agile handling of Ronin. It is a pretty easy bike to ride in traffic. Riders of any height can ride it easily, and the low curb weight is also helpful when parking the bike. On curves, it handles decently and doesn’t let the rider's confidence slip.
- Ronin is equipped with dual disc brakes (on the top variant). It also gets a dual-channel ABS that works seamlessly. The performance of the brakes is very nice & the calibration of ABS is also well put. Even after a full day of riding, the brakes of Ronin will feel strong & responsive.
- In terms of features, it is the most loaded bike in its category. It has a digital cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, LED lights, USD forks, alloy wheels, & the Smart Xonnect tech by TVS as well. All of these features help in the ease of riding as well as make it a smart bike in its price bracket.
Ronin features:
| GPS & Navigation | Yes |
| USB charging port | Yes |
| Touch Screen | No |
| Instrument Console | Digital |
TVS Ronin Competitors
- vs
TVSRonin₹ 1.26 - ₹ 1.60 LakhRead MoreThe Hunter 350 is one of the primary rivals of the TVS Ronin. Hunter is a roadster bike with a modern design that appeals to young buyers. The overall quality of Hunter is good while the easy riding position and good agility help in comfortable city riding. But, the lack of features and hard rear suspension of Hunter is a con. Overall, the TVS Ronin offers better value for money than the Hunter. If you want more torque and a good highway cruiser, Hunter is better.
- vs
TVSRonin₹ 1.26 - ₹ 1.60 LakhRead MoreThe Jawa 42 is a direct rival of the TVS Ronin. The Jawa is based on a cool retro roadster design and it looks substantial on the road. Also, it gets better features, a comfortable suspension, & a more powerful engine. Overall, the Jawa 42 has a better value-for-money tag. Buy the Ronin if you want more features, while the Jawa offers better performance and better cruising capability.

TVS Ronin comes with two ABS modes – Urban and Rain. These two modes tweak the way the ABS kicks in when you press the brakes. The rain mode tightens up the response from the ABS system for added safety in slippery conditions.

Latest On TVS Ronin
Last Updated On 12th Dec'25: TVS has recently launched Ronin Agonda Edition, which is essentially a fresh, limited-edition spin on the Ronin that brings calm, coastal vibes straight from Goa's Agonda beach. It doesn’t change anything mechanically, but visually, the new white base paint with blue-red retro stripes makes the bike instantly stand out. Sitting neatly between the base and mid variants, the Agonda edition is all about lifestyle, individuality, and that relaxed weekend energy. With unique Agonda badging, a new seat cover, and TVS planning more special editions in the future, the Agonda Edition marks the beginning of a new custom-inspired Ronin subculture.
Earlier this year, TVS Motor Company updated the Ronin with new colour options and enhanced the features of the mid-spec version. The Ronin 225 is a neo-retro scrambler which combines classic design with modern features. However, it has not received any updates lately, and continues to offer the same engine along with a similar set of features. It is powered by a 225.9cc engine, which belts out 20.1 bhp and 19.9 Nm of torque.
