Honest Review of TVS Ronin 225 after 2100 kms and 4 Months

Discover an in-depth review of the TVS Ronin 225 motorcycle, highlighting its performance, design, and features. Let's uncover the pros and cons of Ronin 225 (a compact but powerful motorcycle). I have tried to cover all the important details such as the ride quality of Ronin, comfort while riding, the unique headlight of the Ronin which sets it apart in terms of appearance, the burbly exhaust sound, which is just music to the ears, the ground clearance of Ronin, the sound of the horn, mileage of Ronin.

BEST REVIEW SO FAR

[@RoamwithRamu]

Thank you for watching the video and for such a nice comment.

[@shivangverma9142]

Very good it's very useful video main bhi plan krrha TVS RONIN lene kaa but confused in base and top model

[@RoamwithRamu]

Thank you for watching, Verma ji! Agar colour se jyada kuch farq nhi parta hai toh base model sahi hai. Maine top model liya hai, but uska features (jaise navigation, Bluetooth) jyada kuch use nhi karta. Lakin agar apko navigation, Bluetooth, dual channel ABS, golden USD suspension, adjustable clutch lever chaiye toh top model sahi rehega. Aise adjustable clutch lever aap alag se bhi le sakte hai.

[@CampTlangram]

Easy direct shifting from 1st to 2nd gear or 2nd to 1st gear is more important than easy finding neutral gear. For example we ride uphill on very steep road with pillion on 2nd gear and need immediate shift to 1st gear.

[@RoamwithRamu]

Yes, you seem to have a point there. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

[@dartawseef9022]

[@VMarganaAuto-Travel]

Thanks Good Review. I have bought TVS Ronin 1 year ago (mid variant) in Susheel TVS, Kukatpally, Hyderabad. Overall bike is good however spares not available which is the only issue.

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hey, thank you for watching the video! Yes, I have heard from a few people that parts availability is also a concern in Mumbai. I hope that TVS is listening.

[@s.venkateswarpatnaik2484]

TVS motorcycles company has to launch 6 Gears TVS Ronin to compete with Hero Mavrick 440 and other motorcycles with 6 Gears in the market.If 6 Gears will be upgraded to TVS Ronin the Neutral issue will be solved automatically

You have a very good point here. Thank you for watching the video!

[@KanaeKochu]

Thankyou for the ownership review. One question, does it have any vibrations at any rpms, specifically in handle bar and footpegs like the apache old model 2V? Second, the one pillion you mentioned who was not comfortable while riding, how tall was he, was he a big person for his height? Whats the service charge just for oil change and chain lubing and tightening at tvs service centre?

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hi, thank you for watching. After 90 kmph (around 6800 RPM), there can be slight vibration in the footpegs. No vibration in the handlebar. I have not ridden the Apache, so won't be able to answer about it. The pillion rider was around my same height: 5 feet 4 inches. Yes, he was a heavy person for his height (around 85 kgs). Recently an elderly person (around 68 years) sat on my Ronin as a pillion for about 30 minutes, and seemed somewhat uncomfortable. I did the first service (in which five things were done, including oil change and chain lubing) and the cost came to about Rs. 1650.

[@shrikantkulkarni2992]

Well explained

[@RoamwithRamu]

Thank you for watching. 😊

[@sadishdash1121]

Hey great review!! Just wanted to know what's your height as I noticed your foot was tip toeing on the ground.

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hi, my height is 5 feet 4 inches. The seat height of all the variants of Ronin is the same on paper, but while test riding (which I did on the top model, grey colour) I could do better than tip toeing (almost flatfoot), but the orange one, which I bought, seems slightly on the taller side.

[@VVikramSingh28]

If you are 5'7 you will flat foot on it

[@notsopro30]

For me, going to Neutral always works with a light foot from 2nd gear. From 1st gear, i never made it to neutral, it always goes to 2nd, then from 2nd, i can easily get neutral.

[@RoamwithRamu]

I agree with you. In the beginning, it was quite difficult and frustrating to find the neutral gear. Then, as I got used to Ronin, I observed that with a light foot, as u have said, it works from the second gear. Although, these days, I am able to move to neutral from the first gear quite often.

Nicee review, beautiful bike..how is pick up with pillion and what is top speed you achieved

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hi, thank you for watching! The pickup is quite good. My top speed, I think, was about 110 kmph with pillion. After that, there is a lot of wind blast.

[@srinurajana]

Hi Are you facing the below mentioned problems. 1.Chain noice 2.Self start problem in traffic and if you don't use the bike for long period. 3.Digital console issues

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hello, Thanks for your comment. There was some chain noise at one point, but that got resolved after lubricating the chain. I haven't had the self start problem in traffic. Once, after a gap of a week, when I tried to start the bike, it was not starting. It must have been because of the cold weather. But that was only once. The problem never occurred again. No, the digital console is just fine so far.

[@srinurajana]

@@RoamwithRamu thank you

[@VVikramSingh28]

Yes this bike has chain noise problem Need to lubricate every 500 kms otherwise it will damage the sprocket

Thank you, my friend! 🙂

[@aianubis5454]

Bro does the glide through technology make it easier to ride it? (I am new to bikes and dont know how to ride one)

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hi, the glide through technology helps in slow moving traffic. The bike will continue moving without the need to use the throttle. It helps to some extent, that is, as long as the speed of the bike matches the traffic. But, this feature should not be a deciding factor for buying Ronin.

[@RoamwithRamu]

Ronin is also my first bike, so don't worry, u will learn and easily ride one.

[@moyeenshaikh9915]

Bhai i have the budget of Ronin but i have heard many issues are there in ronin after a year. So should i go for Ronin or unicorn 160? Purpose daily city ride 30 kms and short rides Comfort, seating comfort is more important than design looks

[@RoamwithRamu]

Bhai, since u have mentioned that design is not so important for u, I think u can simply go with Unicorn because it's a tried and tested motorcycle. But, do remember that it has a 160CC engine, so, while for a shorter distance and daily commute it's a great motorcycle, however, you may feel the shortage of power on a longer ride, or while riding in the hills. I have a colleague who has recently bought a Unicorn and he is very happy with it. It provides amazing mileage, and for a shorter distance its seat is also comfortable. Ronin is a unique, well designed, and solidly built motorcycle that stands in its own right. I suggest that u do a test ride of both and see what seems better to u.

[@hariharanmohanmudaliyar]

Hello sir i have a budget around 2.5 lakh suggest me a bike for pillion specially for old age like mom dad for long travel and me confused with ronin or any other bike

[@RoamwithRamu]

My friend, in the given scenario, I would rather suggest that you go for a car. Motorcycles are comparatively riskier than cars. Since you have mentioned that you want to travel long distance with pillion who is going to be your elderly mom or dad, the emphasis should be their safety above everything else. You can go for a small car like a Punch or Tiago, but if that seems expensive, you can still go for something like an Alto 800 or a Renault Kwid. If a new car seems too expensive at the moment, check some second hand cars.

[@pradeepswain185]

Nice review. You have fallen twice from Ronin...it means balance of the vehicle may be less. You have not mentioned the power of engine, digital meter details and light capability when bike is running over 100kmph.....😊

[@ppawandesi]

Sir i am planning to buy TVs Ronin, ,but many yt reviews giving negative comments for that, , kindly help me out, ,now i am looking for honda CBR 350 , , what will you suggest sir

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hi, I am quite happy with my Ronin so far. The quality of Ronin is topnotch ( I fell down with it a number of times, but nothing has happened to the bike). I am not sure what is the reason for other's negative reviews (I am aware that some people don't like the appearance of Ronin, which is a subjective matter). Honda CBR 350 seems to be a good bike, but its price is quite on the higher side in comparison to Ronin (of course, you also get a 350 CC engine). I personally prefer Ronin.

[@Explorewithmg]

Ronin is amazing bike… We rode this bike till Gangotri Dham ( Uttarakhand) 1400 km ride and it was a very good experience ❤

[@ajagava2063]

How the suspension bro, for pillion comfort or not, Can Two people ride hilly road

[@RoamwithRamu]

Wow, 1400 kms! That's amazing. Visit to Gangotri Dham is on my wish list. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@RoamwithRamu]

​@@ajagava2063I hope he will provide his input. Let me do my part as well. I went through hilly regions of Lonavala, Pawna and Aamby valley, about which I have already made a video on YT, and I had my wife as a pillion with me. The journey was comfortable. But if the pillion is on the heavier side, the pillion might find some discomfort. A backrest is helpful.

[@Explorewithmg]

@@ajagava2063 for two with bags i think little bit difficult For solo rider this bike is amazing

[@FoxyCAMTV]

Ronin is beautiful.

[@RoamwithRamu]

Indeed.

[@VVikramSingh28]

Finding neutral is really difficult on ronin First shift to 2nd then half shift to neutral Second is the chain noise The gearbox is not so smooth in 1st and 2nd gear And the gear ratio is short which means you have to shift to 3rd gear above 30kmph The gear ratio should have been a little taller You can't properly off road on it cz the standing position is really awkward The turning radius is a bit more Cruising speed is about 90kmph Above 100 the engine feels a bit stressed and viby If you just want a better handling and better engine bike then hunter is better But overall ronin is a better package as it is more practical, feature rich, better build and comfortable than hunter If you can spend a little more then avoid both and buy mavrick or speed 400 Even highness is better than these 2 but highness doesn't feel like a honda cz overall you expect a superior product from Japanese companies when compared to tvs, bajaj and re Best bike under 3 lakh speed 400 Best bike under 4 lakh is duke 390 Just ride these 2 machines once

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hi Vikram, thank you for watching the video and for the valuable insights. Right. After about 27 kmph, the upshift gear is displayed in the console. So, I move up the gear. Above 100, one would also experience wind blast to a great extent. So, I prefer to ride between 70 to 90. And, you are right, as an overall package , Ronin is a good deal. Moreover, while others may think Ronin has a confusing design, I find it very attractive, which goes to show that appearance is a subject matter.

[@ikarthiksharma]

Hello Brother.. can you pls suggest if i can take my wife and a 4 yr old kid as pillions on Ronin ? is it comfortable ?

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hi, that would depend on the weight and height of both of you. Let me give you my context. I am 5 feet 4 inches and weigh about 67 kgs; my wife is 5 feet 1 inch and weighs about 52 kgs. We are both comfortable on Ronin. And, there is space for another (a small child can easily fit).

[@RoamwithRamu]

Just install a backrest for the pillion's comfort.

[@RoamwithRamu]

In my experience, it's good. Just install a backrest for the pillion.

[@ajagava2063]

Tell about Suspension of seat

[@RoamwithRamu]

The suspension is quite good and the seat is comfortable for the rider. It can go through bad roads without any problem. Longer rides are also easy and comfortable, but after about 100 kms, you may need to rest a little. Do a test ride to see how suitable it is for you.

[@AbhishekKumar-kp5io]

Official arai is 43kmpl then how you got 50kmpl?

[@RoamwithRamu]

I am sure you are aware that mileage depends on quite a number of factors. Some people have got mileage of close to 80 kmpl (check the review by Real Auto Reviews).

[@user-fv7lk7pl7m]

How much mileage

[@RoamwithRamu]

About 43 to 45 km per litre.

[@arunjangir5781]

what happened why You fall? false gear shifting

[@arunjangir5781]

I mean false netural

[@RoamwithRamu]

Hi, No, it wasn't false neutral, but it was my own mistake. I was going up the hill, but I was riding in the 3rd gear. I should have shifted to either the 2nd gear or the first gear.

[@VVikramSingh28]

This bike picks up from 15 kmph even in 3rd gear, just need to push the throttle a little bit more The tractibility of this bike is really good, better than hunter and highness It will pick up even from 30 kmph in 5th gear

[@atanumandal3316]

The fall was for views 😂 Shame

[@RoamwithRamu]

Aree Judge saheb, the fall wasn't for views. There are various other methods of getting views than to harm oneself or ones loved one. It was a steep ascent and I was in the 3rd gear while the speed was slow. There were others as well who found going through that terrain difficult. At 7:46 in the video, you will see a rider in the scooter. That rider had also almost fallen down and then stopped after getting up. There was another person in a Swift Dzire who was unable to move up, then a driver from another vehicle helped him.
