Service bhi low cost hai itna kuch zyada nahi hazar 1200 1300 mein ho jata hai. Aap bhi kharidna chahte hain to aap kharid sakte hain to achhi baat hai.

        Mind-blowing performance with great comfort and cooling. Suitable price with good mileage of 42 km/l. I suggest buying this bike it has nice speed, good compression, and a reduced price.

        This bike delivers awesome performance and excellent mileage. It’s budget-friendly, with a powerful 225cc engine that provides sufficient torque for touring. With 20 BHP power and 20 Nm torque at 3750 RPM, it’s more than enough for a smooth and enjoyable ride.

        The very first think I noticed was the design. Riding it on daily commutes is actually fun. I didn’t feel fatigue even after a long day in stop and go traffic Gear shifting is very smoothly.

        The TVS Ronin is overall a very good bike and gives you a special feeling while riding. It’s easy to commute with, comfortable, and definitely worth it. The LED setup is amazing, making it stand out. Without any doubt, just go for it.
