Expert's Opinion on Ronin

Overview

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

Design

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

Performance & Mileage

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

Handling

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

Ride Quality

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

Comfort & Storage

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

Features

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

Verdict

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

Pros and Cons of Ronin

Likes

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

Dislikes

Unimpressive highway performance
You’ll need to pull the front brake lever really hard for aggressive braking

Expert's Conclusion

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.

Ronin as a crusier

Ronin is better than xpluse in terms of cruising bike for long rides where as xpluse is an adventure bike for office roading. With mostly city and cruise it make sense to buy Ronin.If only adventure bike requirement for xpluse which is an excellent machine.
