    Here's a big problem with these kind of biased comparisons. On almost all fronts, ronin is a better bike but you chose to go with hunter. Most people care about quality, reliability, and durability instead of feel. This is evident from sales numbers, so it is incorrect just to evaluate things from a RE fanboy perspective. This is the reason why people are also looking for reviews from new experts on the block as mainstream channels have become promotion platforms and so-called experts share opinion instead of facts - can't be trusted anymore.

    Been 12 days I got my hunter 350, i was confused between dominar 400, duke 390, and Apache rr310 and then suddenly hunter 350 was launched (never been a RE fan, well I was unaware of the upcoming RE bikes), first look made me fall for it so hard, damn looked like Triumph Street twin and Benelli leoncino 500 combined and with this amazing price tag. Hunter got looks, better engine, amazing brakes. On the very first week I went for a 2 days ride of 428 kms from Assam to Meghalaya, rode through all the terrains, handled so well in rain, off roads and the lastly the twisties and cornering (gave me ridegasms). I am gonna keep this bike forever. And the mileage was off the charts, unexpected of 39kmpl.

    • @aakashchoudhuri

      I managed a whopping 41.13 kmpl (full tank to low fuel lamp) on my Meteor during a 3 day ride from Kolkata to Jampshedpur-Ranchi and back. And yes, I maintained speeds of 90-95 kmph for prolonged durations like 40 mins continuously, but avoided brisk acceleration. I can absolutely trust your 39 kmpl as the new J series engine is capable to give such numbers, if not going for flat out acceleration.

    I've been into many potholes and many wide speed breaker, hunter passed this test seamlessly.
    At first I was a bit terrified about the ground clearance, but after riding I got a confidance that yes, we can take this bike on wide speed breakers and potholes.

    Having driven both, what I can confidently say is that Ronin definitely needed to look better, have a better geometry that’s a proper roadster than a mishmash. Also, they needed to space out their variants more competitively, as there’s practically nothing differentiating the base and middle variants except colours. Dual channel ABS should have been standard in middle and top, while the top could’ve had the fancy features. And please, better colours on the top end. The current ones look terrible. Sure, the handling was incredibly easy, I’ll give it that.
    What Hunter has, is absolutely spiffing looks, good geometry, engine that rides better. It does not handle as well as the ronin, and could’ve done with a lot better ground clearance.
    The Ronin is on the back foot simply because it’s designed differently, and the colours do nothing to make it appealing. Oh, I forgot the tacky looking DRL. That’s not easy for ppl to live with on a daily basis. And that’s why I went for the Hunter.

      Ronin was weird long before Hunter was launched. People expected Zeppelin Cruiser but instead got whatever the hell Ronin is. They could have taken inspiration from Avenger 220 and made a better cruiser. But they decided that they needed to beat the Bullet and maybe Hero Xpulse and made something that is neither a cruiser nor a scrambler and has a big T in the headlight.
      Turning Zeppelin concept into Ronin was a big let down.

    RE hunter has only one issue i.e low ground clearance which is responsible for stiff suspension setup. Anyway i will still prefer hunter over ronin just bcoz it look absolute gorgeous, has good low end and distinctive exhaust note. Ronin isn't bad either but somewhat let down due to styling and engine could be bigger anywhere to 300cc.

    • @Farhan_049
      @Farhan_049 2 года назад +2

      Uhh, no... It's not just the ground clearance, but also the cooling tech, or rather the lack of it! The Hunter should also have had oil-cooling in it. As it is now, it will heat up in city traffic very easily.

  • @TheLazyWandererMys
    @TheLazyWandererMys 2 года назад +38

    I rode both back to back and my observation regarding the performance were quite different. The Ronin I rode lurched forward as soon as dumped the clutch, it felt so much powerful, but that feeling died down immediately and it hardly felt peppy after first 10 meters, it felt meh for rest of the ride. The Hunter felt so much better in terms of how it felt when riding. P.S. i am not a journo and look for 0-100 times. This was just casual ride in the city and Hunter felt so so much better. And I was looking at the speedo, may be Ronin was faster but it didnt excite me in the least bit and the styling just doesn't work for me. Ronin on the other hand is like a confused sperm IMO. There are beautiful bikes that we refer to as 'She/her' and then are bikes that call to be addressed as 'he/him'. In all this, Ronin tries to be 'they/them'. Is it wrong? well... no, but will it work in its favour? IMO, not particularly, not always. TVS did the same mistake Honda did. They benchmarked RE and tried to be similar and failed. They should have gone for better cuz we all know both bike makers surely have high potential of making brilliant bikes.
    If I had to gun to my head and I had to choose between the two, it would blindly go with the Hunter. If not, i would save lil more and buy something better than these two.

    This review is unfair to Ronin. You're not comparing Ronin to entire Royal Enfield line up. You're comparing Ronin to Hunter. RE legacy and brand values are irrelevant to the viewer of this video because brand fanbois are already buying hunter. They'd buy it even if Ronin is better in every single aspect. Your job was to give technical revelations (which you gave amply), not talking about brand value which is subjective. (For example in my town, most RE riders are milkmen who are also part time criminals. For us, RE has negative brand value.)

      Go for MT-15 only if you already have it in your heart, for every other reason go with the 200 4v, the later is a better package in that price range, plus you would feel the different in throttle response immediately in day to day rides.
      If you are open to other bikes then try Hunter and if you can stretch your budget to another 40-50k then check Gixxer 250 and Honda CB 350 RS. They will keep you contend for next 4-5 years. With MT-15 you might get bored soon.

      But I'll be honest, if I'd need a bike for proper long term use I'll get the MT-15 due to its reliability, decent performance and mileage and ease of use in the city and random rural rides. If VFM is your priority choose the RTR, Xtreme or Pulsar.

    How does the Hunter compare to the dominar 250 in you opinion. Considering the weight is similar and both engines are tuned for torque and midrange.

    Unfortunately, I just can’t digest the way the tank looks! However, I love how TVS is so confident with its products.

    TVs Ronin priced high for what it offers Hunter gives a 350 cc torkey engine at the same price, if Tvs wants to be successful they should price it lesser than hunter., Especially top variant is asking too much

    I am using hunter for weeks the heat management in city is worst, engine doesn't spread it out through legs. The engine heat directly spread to rider b*lls after half hour traffic b*lls are cooked and seat tank are so hot. 😑

    • @habeebrahman1337
      @habeebrahman1337 2 года назад

      I agree with you Vijay. Less than 20km upper thigh parts are heated up badly. Later on I tested Ronin but very less km only so I’m not sure how good in term of heat control since they have oil cooled engine, secondly mono suspension in Ronin. Right now I’m very confused which to choose. And I don’t know why no one is talking about heating issue in any videos. Im planning to buy a bike after 20 years but I don’t know…..Maybe I will keep my RX100❤ itself.
