Confusing it may look to the "trained" eye, but confused it is not! I can see what the designers were going after. It is the one bike for the typical one bike garage of an average Indian consumer. Daily commutes, weekend rides, a bit of rough road scrambling (which is an every day ride for the rural consumer anyway), it's the one bike that won't bat an eyelid taking on anything that the Indian rider demands of it. Also, kudos to Karthikeya for braving the orange alert that most other reviewers were fazed by. Very well put together review despite the conditions. Absolute benchmark in auto journalism!
Personally, I find this a looker. I see a little bit of Interceptor (tank and below), scramblerish at the rear and a bit of an Avenger at the front. A slight bigger frame could have been great though.
I’d disagree with the verdict because my father has absolutely fallen in love with this motorcycle. For the stance and the tech and the sheer value it offers, he discarded his love for the CB350 and is continuously inquiring about it in the nearby showrooms. Hence, I feel that this bike will definitely attract a generous fan base.
Yeah i test drove both the bikes, value for money and availability are both strong points for the TVS. Plus I feel like at low rev range TVS is perfect for the city!
1.5 lakh TVS bike is competing with 2 lakh Honda/RE bike and still better engine, better performance (not on paper) , better quality, better comfort because of better suspension esp rear monoshock unlike the rivals having stone age dual spring suspension, fully covered chain so no tension of chain and way better refined and reliable than those tractor kind of 350cc engines. Kudos to tvs
The one I can see clearly is the practicality, all the tech gimmicks aside, the last practical no nonsense bike which is suitable for office rides on week days and some long ride fun on weekends was the fz250 which is light on pocket and good to ride, now i see the same / a better version here, as it has relaxed seating, a ton of accessories from the company itself, now the only thing that stands here is reliability, hope it lives up to it, coz I'll be going for either a fz25 or a Ronin for sure
@@prateekmahla1297 have you seen the one on fz25??, It's far more better atleast for me coz I'm using an fz16, and all I need is a speedo, tacho, and a trip, if that's there i can live with it, that's why i mentioned tech gimmicks aside 🙌, and from what I see it has a dedicated spot to put a phone holder right next to the gauge 🤣
I dont think going for a 200 or a 250cc bike for office use is a good idea. You are going have to settle fora fuel efficiency of 30 to 35kmpl. If I were you, i would keep the fz16 for office and get a 200 or a 250cc for weekend highway.
Guys chill... They have just launched it to give a bit a taste over scramble, cruiser and tourer..If we accept it well definitely more bigger engine will be on board for our Indian Bike enthusiastics
Karthikeya looked impressed with the tank. For me, it looks similar to that of a Bajaj V15. I liked the headlight, it looks premium. On the whole, it looks like a confused looking bike to me. Will be interesting to see if this bike clicks in our market, especially with competition like CB350 and the coming RE Hunter.
Que hermosa moto en mi caso no conocía la marca pero investigando vi que data del año 1940 si no me equivoco , a todo esto compré la tvs200fi 2021 ise 15.000 km en menos de un año y ningún problema ojalá llegue este modelo acá saludos desde Argentina hasta cualquier momento lo mejor para ustedes.
Yeah, I'm considering it too. I'm kind of confused between the Yamaha FZ/FZ-S 25, Bajaj N160 Dual and this bike - the TVS Ronin. Rear seat comfort is a big deal for me, so I'll choose after I test ride both the N160 and Ronin. The FZ series already is good enough.
@@Farhan_049 well if you are someone whose age is above 30, who is into retro style naked bikes, who like to tour comfortably than , this kind of bike is for u..
@@temsusolo5206 I'm 24, but I also happen to like Retro style bikes. I've kept the N160 and FZ 25 series in mind simply because they have the 2 most important features I need in bikes - dual channel ABS and rear seat comfort. Good mileage is another bonus.
Superb review!!! This guy really nails it each time.No fuss no drama. Somehow it gives me the mojo vibes trying to do too many things but end up pleasing no one.
Wow🤯 just mind blowing ❤️👍 I love how tvs explored and refined the air cooled motorcycle. Timeless design exterior ⭐,amazing engineering ⭐ Integrated starter generator⭐ full chain drive cover⭐ TVS just decapitated the Japanese, German BMW and Italian rivals. TVS don't need BMW's 310 platforms, they are great by themselves 👍
As always, impeccable review. Thanks for bringing it ZW factor in it. This seems to fit my requirement in almost all parameters. A couple of queries, though. 1. How do you rate the agility and performance in terms of long touring, in terms of riding to Ladakh and the likes? 2. Have checked for the add-ons. They seem to be good. Any improvements you suggest TVS apart from Braking and rear looks?
I like the styling . That tail lamp looks good. The bike delivers all its torque below 4000rpm just like enfields. But take into consideration that the new gen RE BULLET will be similar in price. And that new RE(hunter) could be even cheaper. the pricing is bit off. For 1.5lakhs - you can get N250 with dual channel ABS For 1.6lakhs - you get MT-15 For 1.75 lakhs - you get dominar 250. But for sure it has its own quirks .
I can,t swallow the design as I have hoped it to be more of a Zeppelin as TVS is known to take their 90% by of concept to production form. Well wil wait for the bajaj-triumph partnership now.
@@Farhan_049 the chairman announced the partnership but did not mention if its a product for indian market of some part of the production will be done in india
A fantastic presentation as always, Kartikeya! You're awesome. This is miles away from the Zeppelin concept. A little disappointing that way. But if you look at it just for what it is, it's still confusing to me. I was expecting a cruiser dish but what TVS served is a scrambled platter. I wonder if the Avenger will ever see some competition (don't even bother about the horrendous Intruder). Ronin to TVS seems like what Punch is to Tata. PS: I'm a big time Tata fan myself. I drive a Nexon and my family has owned multiple Tata vehicles.
@@venukrithish007 Yeah. And it's a great product. It created its own category. But its pricing bleeds into Nexon's and it leaves people very confused. The Ronin on the other hand, is very well priced but then it doesn't know what it wants to be. Seems to be a mishmash. But it does have the potential to please the masses. Let's see if it does well. Peace!
@@ishaanagrawal2763 I agree with Ronin. Seems like a mashup but tata has a clear product portfolio. Punch is budget. If ppl want more space and power, they move to Nexon. Combined they're selling like crazy
Now TVS needs is an Adv category. All the others are taken care of. Powerful sports rr310, cool commuter rtr200 and of course this is a mix of scram and roedster.
Obviously the build quality is good can make some mods and live with the looks but it's definitely underpowered. Enfield competitors are of the impression that all their products have to be under 20bhp to be considered a good tourer.
The only bike which is underpowered than a bullet 350 is xl 50 .... if u race raider 125 with bullet 350 the raider comes out as the victor 2out of 3 time its fuel economy is twice and for some thrice as the RE 350 .... and also the comfort ... . RE 350 is just an expensive scam what we do on ourselves
@@aswathneetsoftech3775 RE never claims to be a perfomance motorcycle. Weighs almost 200 kg and has 19 bhp it ain't going anywhere even if we want it to. It's a motorcycle for torque lovers who just likes to take their time and enjoy the ride rather than going fast.
I like everything about this bike, except the only thing that keeps bothering me is the placement of the foot pegs... Its way too front for my liking... If it was just place such as cb350 or classic 350 stance.. it would have been better. A bit aggressive stance is required here and there in a bike, we all want it, but may not all agree with it.
Cmon guys, Everyone criticizing the design, power etc., Don't compare it with shitty RE. CC doesn't matter, what matters is only the power.and also please note that in terms of reliability and quality it is definitely better than the junk RE.
the T n headlight resembles the logo of triumph and I see a good city bike with lill bit design language of scrambler. 225cc may be the odd one out engine, the most unconventionally placed speedo, USD front forks may be a good one for better handling.
What a Great effort by TVS. just love how it looks.A very desirable machine. I just wanted it to be 155Kgs, 250 or 300CC 24Bhp 25 NM of torque. 140 section rear tyre. That would have been a dream. Let's hope, TVS is listening. 😊😊😍😍😍
I would've definitely consider it, if the positioning of the instrument cluster isn't that odd as well as if they able make it look bigger/higher (18 or 19 inch wheels may be).
My Dad says the gauge console placement doesn't bother him, but if I were to buy it, it'd bug me! This is one of the few reasons why I am confused if I should buy the Ronin TD, the N160 Dual or the FZ/FZ-S 25.
I'd rather like to see a cleaner naked design without fancy plastic bits and a little more torque from the engine .. perhaps a 310cc - all the funky plastics. The Speedo meter could be a tad larger.
Quality is rarely an issue with TVS, so no worries there. But the bike looks confused. It looks like a tourer and a cruiser and a scrambler at the same time. Looks like a teeny tiny version of the BMW R9t
TVS Ronin 225 will become a Long term Champion Motorcycle because of it's styling, design, Features, Performance,Price etc Advantages and definitely TVS Ronin will become Number One Selling Motorcycle in India
Still the cb 350 is a better bike if one can shell out that bit of extra cash. A long stroke engine is inherently made for touring, and the cb has much more torque, and the same power from a much bigger engine means the cb doesn't even heat as much as the Apache. Additionally, the cb can easily cruise at 120 without feeling out of breath, I've seen videos of cb clocking 150! Would be good for once to have a review that isn't biased against the Honda. But for the price Ronin is brilliant.
1.5 lakh TVS bike is competing with 2 lakh Honda/RE bike and still better engine, better performance (not on paper) , better quality, better comfort because of better suspension esp rear monoshock unlike the rivals having stone age dual spring suspension, fully covered chain so no tension of chain and way better refined and reliable than those tractor kind of 350cc engines. Kudos to tvs
Nice review singhee ji bit risky in rainy goa. In my opinion the 3 in 1 Approach is not welcome ❌ Light weight ✅ Fuel efficiency ✅ Price ✅ Rest all looks like a copy cut & paste job Was expecting more from a home grown brand like Tvs 💔
I would like to see Ronin with Panniers or saddle bags and top box with extended grabrail like Dominar's Grab rail. It will surely make heads turn and a good long ride bike...
Tvs took inspiration from the Trident 660 and it's not necessarily a bad thing. They could have gone for a scrambler format and it would have rocked. Sad to see the Zeppelin Cruiser won't make it to production though
Can the handlebars be lowered? I feel that can make a massive difference in terms of how the bike looks, especially the shoulder, it would look substantial and mildly muscular, thereby giving the bike more presence despite being small. Please clarify this query.
Honestly, I'm digging this look.. I was thinking of booking CB350 but this grabbed my attention.. if it provides similar long ride comfort and fuel efficiency, I may change my mind
@@T00RNAD00 to be honest go for it I was also confused between splendor and tvs radeon I thought I made a mistake by choosing radeon but I have ridden my bike 45000 more and I didn't even change my sprockets set and cables either the tvs is giving their best in Indian market

@@GGOMGBlog nah bro each bike has it's own merits and they all cater for different customers.. I can't speak for RE as I personally don't like RE and I have not ridden any it much but I can totally understand if one buys it for it's low speed relaxed cruising.. Riding is not always about performance and features, it's an emotion and therapy for many people.. same goes with Honda (cb350).. infact, I've ridden it extensively (my cousin got the DLX model) and trust me, it is heavenly.. I'm yet to test ride Ronin but I'm almost 100% sure that no bike can come close to Honda when it comes to refinement.. The dual suspensions are design choice (obviously for retro looks) but they do their job damn well.. btw, only because you've compared it, cb 350 is better engine than Ronin in every aspect.. you can peacefully cruise at any speed between 90-110 on highways on cb350 and still achieve 40+ mileage.. Ronin achieves 110 at uncomfortable high RPM plus vibrations.. Ronin cruises comfortably at 70-80 speeds, go any higher and I'm sure ride quality and mileage will be compromised.. If you don't compare though, CB350 and Ronin both are good in their own way..
When i seen this first time in flesh i got some mixed feelings about this product. Fit n finish was good but design n proportion was kind of weird. But does that mean it is a bad looking motorcycle? No.
Liked the potential of the platform this bike is built on. Hope to see all 3 pure versions emerge from this one. For me personally, i find, this bike hard to be slotted into cruiser/ street racer/ scrambler bracket. And I find that kinda interesting, coz it can fit into most of those slots without much trouble. People have opinions that's it's got a confused look. But I'd say, it's got the design part well blended, and is kinda unique that way. Well done TVS. And well priced too. Just better brakes and would have totally nailed it. But it's still solid enough to lead the market till the competition catches up with new launches. 👍 It's a definite thumbs up from me. Well done TVS. Hope you bring in the other versions of Ronin down the line.
I strongly suggest tvs should bring 350cc motorcycle. No, no need of fancy stuff just an oiled cooled, 4valve engine with 5speed gearbox, having 28-30hp and cost somewhere around 1.70-1.90lakhs would be amazing.
Confusing it may look to the "trained" eye, but confused it is not!
I can see what the designers were going after. It is the one bike for the typical one bike garage of an average Indian consumer.

One very honest thing about the marketing here is "ghanta unscripted". Scrambler has been a thing for a long time now.

Still the cb 350 is a better bike if one can shell out that bit of extra cash. A long stroke engine is inherently made for touring, and the cb has much more torque, and the same power from a much bigger engine means the cb doesn't even heat as much as the Apache. Additionally, the cb can easily cruise at 120 without feeling out of breath, I've seen videos of cb clocking 150! Would be good for once to have a review that isn't biased against the Honda. But for the price Ronin is brilliant.
1.5 lakh TVS bike is competing with 2 lakh Honda/RE bike and still better engine, better performance (not on paper) , better quality, better comfort because of better suspension esp rear monoshock unlike the rivals having stone age dual spring suspension, fully covered chain so no tension of chain and way better refined and reliable than those tractor kind of 350cc engines. Kudos to tvs
Karthikeya Sir, you are the best bike reviewer in india. Love you.
i think the FZ250 is the real competitor considering power figures,weight and price.
Nice review singhee ji bit risky in rainy goa.
In my opinion the 3 in 1 Approach is not welcome ❌
Light weight ✅
Fuel efficiency ✅
Price ✅
Rest all looks like a copy cut & paste job
Was expecting more from a home grown brand like Tvs 💔
I would like to see Ronin with Panniers or saddle bags and top box with extended grabrail like Dominar's Grab rail. It will surely make heads turn and a good long ride bike...
You can see it in bikewithgirl’s video with all the accessories
Tesla might sue TVS for copying the T on the headlight
Too short of a review...seems to be made in a frantic hurry...left too many vital points...
Best Ronin video out there
Nikhil bro! That is so kind of you! 🙏🏾
Doesn't it seem like throughly updates or reworked Bajaj V15 from TVS?
Exactly, i owned it a time ago !!!
This guy is awesome as bike..his presentation..taking style..I see every review of him..
Thank you Jitendra! Means a lot. 🙏🏾
PD & ZW. 2 sides of the same coin, but so much difference in their presentation styles.
Tvs took inspiration from the Trident 660 and it's not necessarily a bad thing. They could have gone for a scrambler format and it would have rocked. Sad to see the Zeppelin Cruiser won't make it to production though
Much detailed and very honest review compared to Power drift
Thanks for watching both! 🙏🏾
670th view😂
But TVS is improving so much, I am a big fan at this pt...
Proud owner of Ronin 2024 edition❤❤and it never fails me to love it ❤thanks Ronin ❤thanks TVS for such #unscripted journey ❤PS - My first motorcycle ❤
I didnt know kartik used to be on the zigwheels team..he is great in motorinc with shumi now!
If Yamaha After see this videos will soon launch XSR 155 at India
Can the handlebars be lowered? I feel that can make a massive difference in terms of how the bike looks, especially the shoulder, it would look substantial and mildly muscular, thereby giving the bike more presence despite being small. Please clarify this query.
I think Pulsar 250 with dual channel abs is more value for money than this bike. It has slipper clutch for easy of riding as well.
To be honest it, looks a bit kiddish, I think the market of Cb350 or classic will not be affected.
Honestly, I'm digging this look.. I was thinking of booking CB350 but this grabbed my attention.. if it provides similar long ride comfort and fuel efficiency, I may change my mind
@@T00RNAD00 It will most certainly have better mileage than any Royal Enfield or the Honda CB(300 or +)R bikes.
@@T00RNAD00 to be honest go for it I was also confused between splendor and tvs radeon I thought I made a mistake by choosing radeon but I have ridden my bike 45000 more and I didn't even change my sprockets set and cables either the tvs is giving their best in Indian market

@@GGOMGBlog nah bro each bike has it's own merits and they all cater for different customers.. I can't speak for RE as I personally don't like RE and I have not ridden any it much but I can totally understand if one buys it for it's low speed relaxed cruising.. Riding is not always about performance and features, it's an emotion and therapy for many people.. same goes with Honda (cb350).. infact, I've ridden it extensively (my cousin got the DLX model) and trust me, it is heavenly.. I'm yet to test ride Ronin but I'm almost 100% sure that no bike can come close to Honda when it comes to refinement.. The dual suspensions are design choice (obviously for retro looks) but they do their job damn well.. btw, only because you've compared it, cb 350 is better engine than Ronin in every aspect.. you can peacefully cruise at any speed between 90-110 on highways on cb350 and still achieve 40+ mileage.. Ronin achieves 110 at uncomfortable high RPM plus vibrations.. Ronin cruises comfortably at 70-80 speeds, go any higher and I'm sure ride quality and mileage will be compromised..
If you don't compare though, CB350 and Ronin both are good in their own way..
The design is fresh and unique👌🏻
Waiting for this Best... Review... by Karthik Singhee.
Somehow it gives me the vibes trying to do too many things but end up pleasing no one.
That headlight & indicators will sell more than the bike majorly for Xpulse.
Bucket list . A full bucket just for this
All the Ronin needs are bigger tyres and a tail tidy
At least a 19" in front. Then it could be a game changer....
This is 225cc and you are comparing with 350cc segment.
When i seen this first time in flesh i got some mixed feelings about this product. Fit n finish was good but design n proportion was kind of weird. But does that mean it is a bad looking motorcycle? No.
One word...... confusing. Had high hopes after rr 310 and raider. This is just a glamourised street naked with some bits and pieces of retro style.
15 min of chain cleaning and lubing will take 1hour due to cover😂
Hmm, interesting observation at the end 🙂 - will not tug at your heartstrings as the other do!
TS must make it available at district level showrooms otherwise , other companies will definitely grab the market.
Mileage will also be a plus point for this bike
When does the Full Detailed Review Arrive ???
Alhamdulillah...
Thank God, finally I also bought it, the red one...❤❤❤
This looks dope 🔥
Liked the potential of the platform this bike is built on. Hope to see all 3 pure versions emerge from this one.
For me personally, i find, this bike hard to be slotted into cruiser/ street racer/ scrambler bracket.
And I find that kinda interesting, coz it can fit into most of those slots without much trouble.
People have opinions that's it's got a confused look. But I'd say, it's got the design part well blended, and is kinda unique that way. Well done TVS. And well priced too.
Just better brakes and would have totally nailed it. But it's still solid enough to lead the market till the competition catches up with new launches.
👍 It's a definite thumbs up from me. Well done TVS.
Hope you bring in the other versions of Ronin down the line.
why not body integrated side turn indicator? specialy in rear of bike. However it's good looking design.
So much better than the Yamaha Fz-X.
I'd take this one anyway over that
Tvs:- what kind of bike you want a scrambler, roadster or a cruiser?
Me :- YES
TVS is winning hearts ❤️
A very weird and complicated looking bike, seems like they have introduced an "Ntorq" of bike market 🤣🤣🤣
I strongly suggest tvs should bring 350cc motorcycle. No, no need of fancy stuff just an oiled cooled, 4valve engine with 5speed gearbox, having 28-30hp and cost somewhere around 1.70-1.90lakhs would be amazing.
Yup.. Either 150cc or 300cc....
All rounder TVS RONIN❤️
Yamaha FZ 250 gone toughest competition...
Anyway good looking bike by TVs
