Pros and Cons of Ronin
- Torquey engine ensures you don’t have to shift as frequently
- Excellent fit and finish
- Lightweight and agile in both city traffic and highway
- Can easily accommodate tall riders
- Unimpressive highway performance
- You’ll need to pull the front brake lever really hard for aggressive braking
The confusing styling aside, the Ronin is still a peppy and friendly motorcycle that is good for everyday commutes. The engineering finesse and build quality is decent but the styling and top-end engine performance isn’t. The Ronin also comes off as a bit expensive for a bike that is primarily meant to be a city commuter.

Modern Cruiser
- The Ronin is TVS’s neo-retro styled motorcycle which combines the looks of a scrambler, roadster and a cruiser
- It is powered by an engine that has been derived from the TVS Apache RTR 200
- Is available in 5 variants and 7 colours
-
All-in-One
- The Ronin blends design cues from various genres
- It features a raked-out front, and forward-set footpegs, similar to a cruiser, while the beefy fuel tank offers roadster-like traits
- The block-pattern tires and high-set rear fender give it a scrambler vibe.
- The build quality is solid, and the bike feels robust
- The design feels mismatched in places, with the frame’s headstock and side panels looking somewhat awkward.
- The bike's overall aesthetic may not appeal to those seeking a more cohesive design
-
Tractable and Smooth
- Powered by a 225.9cc air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, it delivers 20.4PS and 19.93Nm, making it ideal for urban commuting
- The engine offers impressive tractability, allowing smooth slow-speed manoeuvres even in higher gears
- TVS’ Glide-Through-Tech enables throttle-free riding in traffic just by modulating the clutch
- You can easily ride at city speeds in 3rd gear. But above 55kmph in 3rd, the vibrations get a bit prominent
- On highways, the Ronin starts to struggle at higher speeds, with vibrations creeping in above 80kmph
- The bike lacks top-end performance, limiting its potential for long-distance cruising compared to models like the Apache RTR 200 4V
-
Quick-footed
- Despite its relaxed rake angle, the Ronin remains agile, thanks to its wide handlebar and manageable 160kg kerb weight
- The bike is easy to manoeuvre in the city due to its low seat height
- The block-pattern tyres provide good grip, even when cornering at higher speeds, enhancing confidence on twisty roads
- Braking performance could be better, with the lever feeling spongy and lacking proper feedback during hard braking situations
-
Well-tuned
- The upright riding posture adds to rider comfort, while the bike’s suspension is well-tuned for city use, absorbing bumps and rough roads
- The bike handles rough terrain with ease, while still offering stability at higher speeds
-
Like a Cruiser
- Low seat allows shorter rides to get their feet down easily
- Comfortable and upright riding posture
- Forward set footpegs and handlebar gives it an almost cruiser-like riding position
- Features, like a heel-toe shifter, could make longer rides even more comfortable
- The forward-set footpeg position can feel awkward for taller riders, especially when manoeuvring in tight spaces
-
Feature-packed
- The Ronin features a compact LCD screen with smartphone connectivity through TVS SmartXonnect, available on the higher-end TD variant
- The TVS SmartXonnect allows access to features such as call and SMS alerts, navigation, and phone battery status
- The silent starter operates smoothly, adding convenience, while the engine kill switch is a useful safety addition
- The small LCD screen tends to be cluttered with information, making it difficult to read while riding
-
Is the TVS Ronin worth it?
- The TVS Ronin is a well-equipped, urban-centric bike that excels in city commuting with its strong low-end torque and impressive manoeuvrability
- Lacks top-end performance and the mixed-bag design might not appeal to everyone
- Priced higher than other TVS models, such as the Apache RTR 160 4V and the NTorq 125, the Ronin leaves room for improvement, particularly in terms of refinement and long-distance comfort
- If utility and urban riding are your top priorities, the Ronin is a solid choice, but it may fall short for those seeking a ‘special’ riding experience
