The TVS Ronin has carved a niche for itself in no time within India’s motorcycle space, melding an old-school attitude with modern practicality. Meant for riders who want a bit of everything—style, comfort, and versatility this 225 cc machine serves as a refreshing break from typical commuter bikes. Priced from around ₹1.35 lakh (ex-showroom), the Ronin is positioned as a premium yet accessible option for city riders and weekend explorers alike.
Performance that feels engaging
At the heart of the Ronin is a single-cylinder, 225 cc engine tuned for smooth and confident power delivery. Producing nearly 20 PS at 7,750 rpm and 19 Nm of torque at 3,750 rpm, this bike possesses strong performance from the bottom end for great navigation between tight city gaps and quick take-offs from traffic lights. The six-speed gearbox with slipper and assist clutch gives butter-smooth gear shifts and reduces clutch effort, making everyday riding noticeably easier.
To keep things safe and responsive, TVS equips the Ronin with 270 mm front and 200 mm rear disc brakes, thereby giving the rider consistent control of braking through variable conditions. Weighing approximately 164 kg, this bike feels planted yet manageable, assuring stability through quick turns or higher speed cruising.
Designed for comfort with a classic touch
TVS has endowed the Ronin with subtle retro appeal: round lights, a minimalist sheet metal bodywork layout, and a clean outline. Couple that with modern elements such as full LED lighting and an intuitive analogue-digital instrument cluster. The 795 mm seat height makes it accessible to riders of varied statures, adding to its day-to-day practicality.
Comfort comes first here, with a relaxed riding position, well-upholstered seats, and suspension tuned for India’s notoriously unpredictable road surfaces. Telescopic front forks and a rear mono-shock do a good job of soaking up potholes; long rides feel less tiring.
Built for Indian Roads and Everyday Adventures Whether it is weaving through unpredictable traffic or cruising down the highway, the TVS Ronin feels capable and confident. With a top speed of around 130 km/h, and a realistic mileage of 30-35 km/l, it strikes a good balance between excitement and efficiency. This, in addition to the 14-litre fuel tank, means fewer refuelling stops on longer rides-a decent option for weekend touring.
