Reviews of TVS Ronin

Having said all this, I am extremely satisfied to have my first bike Ronin. Every time I sit on it, I smile thinking how great it makes me feel. This feeling alone vindicates my choice to go for it. I had been looking for the perfect bike for almost 6 months when I came across Ronin, and I've been in love since the first time I took it for a test drive. It ticks all the boxes for me and I can go on and on about how I adore my bike, but that will be all from me for now. Happy riding!

About the Reviewer

This bike is really fun to ride with an excellent initial. If you want a bike for all purposes, you can easily go with this. The looks are awesome. I get so many compliments while riding this and the bike feels premium. All the parts and buttons are also good quality. There are a few issues which I could identify yet are Service centers are not good at TVS. Even this bike falls under the premium segment still you don't get a good service experience.

About the Reviewer

I've been using this bike for daily commutes and occasional rides for about 18 months, and overall, it's a good choice. It has proven to be reliable and efficient, with a mileage of around 40-42 km/l, which is impressive for my needs. The bike's performance and durability have generally met my expectations, making it a solid option for both everyday use and longer journeys.
However, there are a couple of issues that prevent me from giving it a full five-star rating. First, there's a noticeable chain noise that becomes quite distracting, especially during longer rides. This noise detracts from the overall riding experience, and despite regular maintenance, it persists. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it’s certainly something that affects the bike's appeal.
Second, the bike experiences significant wind blasts when riding above 70 km/h. This makes high-speed rides less comfortable and can be particularly bothersome on highways or during longer trips. The lack of effective wind protection at higher speeds is a downside for those who often find themselves riding at these velocities.
Despite these drawbacks, the bike is still a strong performer in many areas. Its fuel efficiency, reliability, and general performance are commendable. The issues with chain noise and wind blast are notable but do not overshadow the bike's many positive attributes. For someone looking for a dependable bike with good mileage for daily commuting and occasional longer rides, this model is still a worthwhile option.
In conclusion, while the chain noise and wind blast at higher speeds are drawbacks, they are not severe enough to outweigh the bike's overall performance and efficiency. Hence, I rate it four stars, reflecting its strengths while acknowledging its minor flaws.

About the Reviewer

Disclaimer: Lengthy review
My priorities (before getting the Ronin) were.
Honda CB350
TVS ronin
Hunter 350
I am a beginner rider, I am a five feet and eleven inches tall guy, I thought to go for these three as
*Honda engine is something you can close your eyes and invest in & the fit and finish is too impeccable and
* Second TVS, I believe they are genius (after Honda) when you compare the Engine refinement and reliability and then
* Royal Enfield J-series platform with the 181Kg hunter is something I tried at first, but I find a bit confident less when I ride on speed breakers and more over the machine is something that I couldn't define itself to me (about its nature), hence hunter was my third priority.
Since due to some constraints (beginner rider, cost, etc.), I preferred Ronin over others, if not, you could have seen my review on the CB350 page for sure.
RONIN: I don't go deep into technicalities as you can see on the page itself, I write something that I felt!
This is a serious cult with a better reliable engine and smooth as butter. It's just like having "ragi malt with onions", the gear shift is just like the crispiness of onion, and engine smoothness is just as smooth as the Ragi Malt, I couldn't get a better example than this. Just imagine how this combo works, the same way the Ronin works too.
But, on the other side, manufacturing defects! on the first service, need to get rid of this! my bike it's turn indicator button problem, a fuel gauge sensor, and Bluetooth pairing issues.
The buying experience is good. salespersons are quite efficient and kind. Such small gestures from them are pleasing to see.
The riding experience is just like butter, smooth clutch action with a "springy" response and the engine makes me believe that it is good to handle different conditions.
Visual is good as a cruiser (from the front) and scrambler on the rear side.
My best suggestion is that,
when planning on long rides, take out the stock mirrors, use bar end round mirrors or round mirrors on the handlebars,
This mirror is something TVS needs to check on! visually it look's "odd/awkward"(subjective from person to person)!!... when disclosing it as a cruiser, it should have cruiser elements from the front, at the least!

About the Reviewer

1000 km and it's a pretty good ride so far. It's comfortable for long rides as well as city commuting. About mileage, I haven't tested it properly but I guess I have gotten 35 plus. It has good suspension. The only con I can think of is the tank might get a little heated after some time, especially in the city/slow traffic. I had my first service and it costs about 1.45k. The showroom here at Thrissur is good with a warm reception from staff

About the Reviewer

The buying experience is good. But not satisfied with the service. It looks nicer than other bikes. Pickup & mileage is good I'm getting 40+. The service is not very good. But maintenance cost is low. The paint quality of the bike is not satisfactory, because I found the engine & chassis color are gone after a few months.

About the Reviewer

Cons: let's start with this one, in the city where you juggle between 1st and 2nd gear this engine heats up. In Bengaluru traffic, there have been some horrible days where I had to keep my seat so far that it would not touch the tank. But this only happens in extreme traffic.
Now about Pros:
Service cost is less compared to other bikes I have seen.
Long ride :
Buttersmooth experience, I went on a solo ride from Bengaluru to the Rann of Kutch with some heavy luggage and I did not face any issues whatsoever. Even in the hot conditions of Gujrat and Mumbai engine stayed cool and performed best.
Comfort is exceptional, I am around 5'7 and it is really comfortable, even though I am quite heavy the ride was not tiring at all.
I took this one in some of the really bad roads but no back pain at any point.
The mileage was around 40+, I did not track it much though.
Daily commute: easy on legs and not tiring.
Touring kit: TVS provides some customized touring kits for this one which you can buy online or from the Service center which is cool
Overall experience: engine heating in the initial days is there, I heard it's the same with many other 200cc+ bikes too, so it's not a big deal. But apart from that this bike is exceptionally good. I love it.
Windshield: I bought the one available from Amazon for Meteor 650.

About the Reviewer

Better than other bikes. Like classic Hunter Honda CB etc. The average in the city is 35 kmpl and on the highway, it is 40 kmpl. Extremely comfortable bike you don't feel bored and tired while riding the bike. The engine has a long life. The built quality is good. Chain noise (use chain spray weakly it's not a big problem). Stand Sensor (but it's a safety feature)

About the Reviewer

My Experience with the TVS Ronin
As an avid motorcyclist, I've had the pleasure of experiencing the TVS Ronin, and let me tell you, it's been nothing short of exhilarating. From the moment I laid eyes on its sleek, aggressive design, I knew I was in for something special.
One of the first things that struck me about the Ronin was its stunning aesthetic. The sharp lines, bold colors, and attention to detail make it a true head-turner wherever I go. Whether I'm cruising through city streets or parked at a local hangout, I always catch people admiring its beauty.
But the real magic happens when you twist the throttle. The Ronin's engine roars to life with a ferocity that sends shivers down your spine. The acceleration is smooth and powerful, propelling me forward with a sense of urgency that's downright addictive. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before.
What's truly impressive, though, is how Ronin handles it. Whether I'm weaving through traffic or carving up twisty mountain roads, this bike feels like an extension of my body. The suspension is responsive, the steering is precise, and the brakes are confidence-inspiring, giving me the control I need to tackle any situation with ease.
But it's not all about performance; the Ronin is surprisingly comfortable too. The seat is plush and supportive, the riding position is relaxed, and there's even enough storage space to stash my essentials for a day out on the road.
Overall, my experience with the TVS Ronin has been nothing short of phenomenal. It's a bike that not only looks and sounds incredible but also delivers on the promise of an unforgettable riding experience. Whether you're a seasoned rider or a newcomer to the world of motorcycles, I can't recommend the Ronin highly enough. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.TVS Ronin is a solid performer with a sporty design and commendable features. Its powerful engine delivers a thrilling ride, and the bike handles well on various terrains. The sleek styling adds a touch of modernity, making it visually appealing. The digital instrument cluster provides clear information, enhancing the overall riding experience. With reliable brakes and smooth gear shifts, the Ronin offers a satisfying blend of performance and comfort. While fuel efficiency could be better, the bike's overall value for money and enjoyable ride make it a worthwhile choice for riders seeking a dynamic two-wheeler.
