TVS Ronin 225 Vs Bajaj Avenger 220 - Specs, Features And Price Comparo

Last week, TVS introduced the Ronin, its first 225cc motorcycle, in India. The motorcycle has a wide range of features. If we were to discuss an engine-specific direct rival of the Ronin, it would be the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220. Although both bikes are categorized as cruisers, the Ronin also has different personalities. In this article, we'll compare the TVS Ronin 225 vs Bajaj Avenger 220.

TVS Ronin 225 Vs Bajaj Avenger 220 - Design and Dimensions

The Ronin 225 has an eye-catching design thanks to its tall seat, rounded headlamps, and a sort of free-floating instrument cluster. The Avenger, on the other hand, is well known for its lower seat and more cruiser-like look.

Dimensions	TVS Ronin 225	Bajaj Avenger 220
Wheelbase	1,357 mm	1,490 mm
Seat Height	795 mm	737 mm
Ground Clearance	181 mm	169 mm
Kerb Weight	160 kg	163 kg

In this context, the Ronin 225 is lighter and has better ground clearance, but the Avenger 220 has a larger wheelbase and a relatively low seat height. Avenger's low seat height makes it easier for shorter riders to grasp the handlebars and get their hands on the motorcycle easily.

TVS Ronin 225 Vs Bajaj Avenger 220 - Engine

Both motorcycles comes with almost similar engine specifications and performance. The Avenger comes with Bajaj's tried and tested 220cc engine while the Ronin comes with a 225.9cc engine.

Max. Power	20.1 bhp	18.7 bhp
Max. Torque	19.93 Nm	17.55 Nm

TVS's Ronin has a bit more power and torque output than the Avenger. Both motorcycles have a 5-speed gearbox, but Ronin comes with a slip and assists clutch that makes shifting smoother and more comfortable for the rider.
