![Royal Enfield Hunter 350 - MILEAGE TEST [ KYA SOCHA AUR KYA MILEAGE AYA ] YE UMEED NAHI THI](/img/n.gif)
Being a Mechanical engineer and a designer in automotive field, I have following observations.
I was looking for a family bike for city rides mostly with a flat (horizontal seat), circular headlamp and retro-like + premium design (not like 100-150cc bikes).
After exploring lot of bikes, I finalized three options to compare.
1. Honda H'ness 350 CC
2. Royal Enfield Hunter Rebel 350 CC
3. TVS Ronin 225 CC
I test drove all 3 vehicles 2-3 times and following are my observations,
1. Honda H'ness 350 CC -
*Pros* - Nice retro/classic look, Low end torque is good, Seating space for pillion rider is more than other two vehicles.
*Cons* - Bulkier (Box size), Paint quality, Higher cost as compared to other two vehicles
2. Royal Enfield Hunter Rebel 350 CC -
*Pros* - Beautiful Design/Styling/Look, Great color schemes, Turning radius is smaller than Ronin (Less space to turn the vehicle), Reasonable cost.
*Cons* - The biggest issue (design flaw) is positioning of foot rest (pegs), just below the sitting position. This makes it difficult to keep your feet on ground while you are at signal or in slow moving traffic. Foot rest (pegs) keep touching your legs and is very uncomfortable.
Another point is that seat on rear end tapers downward and seating space for pillion rider being less, pillion rider tend to move back and when you accelerate, pillion may feel like toppling/falling down at back side. So this is not safe and hence, back rest is MUST.
Handle bar positioned in such a way that you need to keep your hands stretched straight all the times which is not a comfortable sitting posture.
Low end torque/performance (2 & 3 gear) is sluggish due to bigger engine. (Not as good as smaller capacity bikes)
3. TVS Ronin 225 CC -
*Pros* - Semi-retro look with circular headlamp, Driveability and Performance is superb.
Handle bar position is very good for comfortable sitting posture with hands slightly bent in elbows. Very easy to handle in traffic.
*Cons* - Very bad design/aesthetics of fuel tank (some odd shape), Color schemes are odd (not impressive), Turning radius is higher than Hunter (Needs larger space to turn the vehicle). Cost is on higher side for lower CC as compared to Hunter (mainly due to features).
Overall, none of them is meeting my requirements (as mentioned above) and hence, I decided to wait for Kawasaki W175 or Yamaha XSR or Improved version of Royal Enfield Hunter.
All the best!

Bro,that perfect bike never exist until you have endless budgets 😁
Its been a year now what did you choose??? really curious to know!!!!
Honestly speaking ronin has upper hand in top speed ,mileage , comfort and features.. and hunter has torquey nature and re fan base .. its all about preferences...both are worthy 🙌

@@naba2544 bhai believe me hunter ke liye bahut jada gardi ho rahi hai log ki. TVS showroom me 1-2 hi lok aara hai.
Took a small ride on both motorcycles , I found the ronin was a lot more comfortable and fun to ride than re hunter , although the hunter sounds more powerful due to 350cc engine , but that’s not the case , ronin feels a lot more responsive and is giving better fuel economy as well. I would personally choose Ronin , don’t let the numbers fool you lol.
Also forgot to mention , Ronin is very very comfortable to steer , you always feel in control , the re hunter isn’t bad but definitely could be better with a few updates.
Hunter fit and finish customization ver cheap campare to ronnie. Hunter exhust very bad nonfilling of royal Enfield. Ronnie is best
Finally Booked RONIN 2.19lakh

Other than mileage that will directly impact your pockets over time, these 2 bikes differences are just about preferences. You can have either bike and be completely satisfied. RE with more CC is more torquey but still Ronin has a higher top speed. So 225cc engine is not a shortcoming in all cases. I would be happy with either bike.
Just that my pocket would be annoyed to spend extra on RE for fuel over time.
Not only mileage, service cost n spares also, my friend owns RE classic n does rapido in weekends to maintain it

UA-cam : Ronin is better
reality: Hunter sales 99% Ronin 1%
Brand value ig
So true, i experience it, lots of people are taking test drive. People are much interested in hunter than ronin.
Tvs is brand..
Wrong ..Ronin is on waiting in Pune showroom
In Delhi also around 1 month booking for top model
Using Ronin from 2 weeks and it's perfect for all conditions and also getting around 45 kmpl
That's awesome mileage for a 225 cc engine
Same bro ❤️
Same here
My bike gives 22 milage😞😞😞😩😩😩😫🥶😓😭
@@mr.jarvisgaming3409 go to showroom get 1st servicing done
Slipper clutch is there so Ronin has more features as compared to Hunter, also weight is less
True
And 140 tk jaati h
Toh bro konsa lu hunter ya Ronin Mai confused hu
@@Sahil-zc5ze Bro, take test ride of both bikes then it will be easier for you to decide
@@YousufKhan-cz6rv bhai mai. Ne dono try Kiya test drive liya dono acha laga mujhe ab mai confused ho rha kon sa lu kyu ki mujhe samjh bhi nhi aarha Ronin better hoga ya hunter
I own a ronin , but some good things that hunter offers better than ronin is
1.10mm wider rear tyre
2.bigger 350cc engine with more torque
3.30mm wider rear disc.
4. Bybre branded brakes
5. RE engines are pretty refined and i think they can also give a mileage upto 35
Other than that Pros in Ronin over hunter 350 are:
1. full digital instrument cluster
2. Slipper clutch which really does make a difference
3. Led indicators
4. Front usd folks
5. Full led headlight setup with Drl and light throw is also satisfactory.
6.Metal mudguards ( though some people won't even consider it )
7. 30mm more ground clearance
8. Mileage is 36 to 40 but depending on city to highway traffic before 1st service .
Also cost of all features in Ronin is included in ex-showroom price but in hunter you'll end up paying extra for accessories which will increase your overall cost
100%
bro is comfortable for female pillion i am asking for my mom 😇
Ronin better in every aspect 🔥
RE is great no offense to RE lovers out there but practically speaking this bike is clearly not meant for off-roading even if you are riding in city roads the bike will definitely have issues. But Ronin does it better with great comfort and riding experience 🫶
Hunter isn't meant for offroading💀
There's himalayan for that
But Indian roads its lil bit offroading.. sometimes
@@maneesh2316 that's why i said City roads bro even in rainy season its gonna be a mess to drive through potholes :(
Rolin won in comment section hunter won in showroom sale 🤞
Have been driving Ronin for a week now never have i ever ridden such a smooth bike ….. the ride quality is next level
Bro im confused between highness and ronin
Whats is the average of this renin
Please help me out is your ronin still performing ?
You should also include details of ground clearance of the bikes... with pillion and without pillion.
True
I rode with pillion, no issues
@@harshad_waghmare thank you
@@mamakholi4361 dont worry about it, if issues comes, RE community every big, Company will address it.
Pillion comfort of Ronin is better since it's seat seems be be slightly bigger than Hunter and the foot pegs are lower
I make my mind , I'm going with Ronin. Thanks bro 👍
Perfect Video but my heart goes with Ronin ❤️
Thank you
@@DBSVlogs public ko chutiya samjhta hai.
I took test rides of both the motorcycles and Ronin definitely felt much more comfortable and fun to ride than hunter, also gear box is super smooth on Ronin. While riding hunter I felt as if I had to stretch my arms to ride it, I don't know if this is with every RE buke
Ronin is the better pick. Practical bike with all features. Only if you're a RE fan and spend more time n money for maintenance , go for hunter..it may impress others too. May be.
I took test ride of both the bikes. Initially i was inclined towards hunter as i am a huge RE fanboy but seeing the practicality of everything i feel Ronin is
best value for money for 95% of consumers who are going to use it as a daily commuter and weekend rides.
Top speed 135+ ,
Glide through traffic feature,
very nimble to manuaver in day to day traffic,
super comfort ,
best riding posture ,
engine refinement ,
smooth gear box
power to weight ratio is better than hunter so in real world it delivers
slipper assist clutch
Showa USD forks
LEDs all around
Bass heavy exhaust note
and best of all 40+ milage that will pay dividend in long run.
In a nutshell Ronin is complete bike whereas Hunter feels like a downgraded 350 classic.
Well said
I completely agree ..i have 350 classic 2015 model... Recently purchased Ronin after test ride and feel in love with Ronin...the engine refinement and comfort and features are just too good on ronin... Best vfm
Very well said
Just wow🙏
I have purchased Ronin but didn't know it had so many features as you told.
I just went to the showroom took a testride and found that it is like butter on road and bought it.
Now I feel proud 🤗
100℅ correct bro
Bhai, thank you.
Hunter ke Mirrors toh dekho kitna Vibrate karte hain - Phew
Agar Ronin ka meter console ka placement hunter ki tarah hota, chain cover simple hota and tail light honda CB 350 RS ki tarah hoti , front me exhaust and engine cover thoda kam bahar ki taraf nikla hua hota to Ronin market crash kar deti.
True
Thanks for the video! Waiting for the detailed comparison on other/all metrics.
Request you to discuss fit and finish of both motorcycle’s. The fender and side panels on Re is plastic and Ronin is metal. The gold USD front forks look premium, seats are more supportive, Ronin feels much more premium. 2 abs modes for rain and street. Re hunter is a very confusing motorcycle. Whenever i see the hunter, I feel like buying it but I’m avoiding it since it feels very cheap and like a compromise. Thank you so much for all the effort. Liked And subscribed.
This was a required comparision 🥳💜
Thanks for watching
Best thing about the video is you gav honest opinion about both bikes and which class of people would prefer hunter 350 or Ronin . Nowdays bloggers giv baised reviews n u were honest on your experience. Great work, Cheers!!!
Booked the Dawn Orange variant at 2.23 lakh. It's been more than 25 days now. Still waiting for the delivery.
Hunter is only good coz of the name and customisation options. The fit finish and feature list is better for the Ronin. Weight smooth ride better mileage top speed, Ronin does everything better. The seat Comfort is much better on Ronin. Re hunter has everything just ok but the brand name drags it way ahead.
How about ground clearance
No doubt Ronin better than all aspects...but if I have 2 lakh then I'll go with hunter 350...because royal Enfield brand value and resale value ...
@@MixedGenix no, there is no such thing as RE gives for hunter
@@gouthamkrishna9025 I too was concern for it, but in reality it will not effect you for daily rides n ocassional long rides. Everybody have scooty at home they too have very low ground clearance, has it effected??
Very true. Objectively Ronin is better. But If you want RE hunter is good.
Big disadvantage is re has only air cooled engine at this price
Being a long stroke engine it doesn't require oil or liquid cooling. I haven't seen any long stroke engine getting overheated unless revved up insanely.
Air+oil cool .
@@Naqshsalim bro toh us his hisab se price bhi honi chahiye thi
This is air cooled engine no oil cooling
@@coolfz1 you should do some research .
Iam confused between this two bikes...konsi leni chaiye...reliability n long lasting engine ka sochkar...which is best
Hunter ka mileage bahut hi kam hai 24 ka utna tou car hi de degi
Ronin was actually ENGINEERED. Hunter is just downsized.
But hunter will sell more than ronin.

Comparing these 2 bikes is like comparing Android vs. iOS...one is loaded with features,the other is not but it has brand value for which people are willing to sell their kidney🤷🏿
You don’t know about iOS then😅
@@Befikare011 I know more than you can imagine...
Test rode both today, Ronin ride quality "feels" better and more easy, fun honestly. Ronin parts and components quality also feels better.
I understand why someone would want hunter. Going by pictures I wanted hunter more as well.
RE is Android, community bhadi hai
So, you’re saying,iOS doesn’t have features..!! Ok bro !!!!🫣
Thanks bro for such lovely comparison..was waiting to see this. Really getting difficult to choose one among them. Will need to do test drive to finalize.. thanks again :)
My pleasure 😊
Bhai.. mera bhi same situation hain... abhi bhi decide nahin kar paya in 3 bikes main
1. Hunter
2. Ronin
3. Keeway 250 Lite
@@Safeer_Ahmed ronin lelo service and maintaince cost bach jayega aur milleage bhi acha milega 😁😁
Aankh band karo aur Ronin lelo
@@mauryaji8999 kya baat :)
Actual mein baithneke baad ground clearance measure karo, kyuki company claimed toh ek baat hai lekin dikhne ne dono same lag rahe hai isliye. An also if possible check with person sitting in pillion seat as well
Yes with two heavy people above 70kgs each... over a speed bump with cm scale to measure exact clearance 😂😂
Ronin is For those who want scrambler/roadster looks with comfort
My 5 key observations from the comparison--
1)Look wise:
FRONT & POV-- Ronin
SIDE & BACK -- Hunter
2)Performance:
Torque -- Hunter
Mileage-- Ronin
3)Overall feel of ride quality and exhaust note -- Ronin
4)Pillion comfort-- Ronin
5)Fanbase & Namebase- Hunter
Choice is completely subjective to every potential buyer!
You have got to be kidding me with the exhaust note. I dont even like hunter but that exhaust note is waayyy better than ronin. Ronin is not even close. Ronin sounds like a commuter bike.
I am 5'3 Hight, which one i choose as my first bike??
Plz reply... 🙏🏻
I tried both then i went for Ronin.
Here people more inclined towards ronin bcoz of more features and top end. But they don't know low end torque of an RE which is where actual fun is lies, it's not just about brand but feel, surely u will missed in ronin. Yeh, until now RE has had quality issues but this is a new breed based on j series platform so before criticising we should give them a chance to prove.
Hi DBS Vlogs toh finally which bike is the best Rohnin or Hunter plz give your personal choice. Ki agar aapko Leni ho bike toh konsi Ronin ya Hunter?
Ronin ❤️
Hunter is Class, I have test drive both bikes RE is next level Pick-up even 2nd or 3rd gear ..Ronin all varients is available in showroom in kanpur but RE hunter is available 45 days advance booking only ...
Bhai kanpur me Ronin bahut dhunda mil hi nhi rhi ...tumhe kha mil gyi
Sir hunter le ya ronin please reply me
Bhai drag race karao plzz
Best bike under 2.5 lakhs ?
Is comparision ka mujhe kab se wait tha thanks for this🥰
Does 150mm ground clearance in hunter is sufficient to ride in country roads,speed breakers?
You mean pot hole country like India?😅
Yes..no big issue, many scooters comes with 125mm clearance still they work fine in city.
@@harshad_waghmare Most modern scooter have Ground clearance 155mm. Which one has 125mm..?

What is the stress free, comfortable cruising speed of tvs Ronin on highway?
Bhai robin ka speedometer kharab hai kya🤨
Which engine is reliable for years, RE or TVS?
RE fosho
Ronin design is a mismatch,seems like first and second half is designed by 2 different designer than just stuck together.
Re has very bad ground clearance.
Hunter looks premium no doubt Ronin ka back is so disappointing
Dono ka Base variant ka comparison kariye pls
I love hunter♥️.. Booking tomorrow
रेगुलर के लिए kon sa best rahegi
it is evident that TVS tried to make the Ronin LOOK LIKE bigger bike with those FLARED/ Flatter Rear mudguards and that dis proportionate Tank shape and those USD 40+ size Forks and those Fatter wheels
Seriusli im waiting this video 😍
Thankuh bro for this video😍✌️
Got really confused now 😴

RE hunter 350 or Ronin 225 ka maintenance cost kiska jada rahega..
Which is better cb300 RS or Hunter 350 ?
Ronin starts from where Hunter ends. It's the wiser choice.
😅
Nice username bro 🔥
😂😂
did anyone else also notice ronin speedometer 0!!!!
I’m confused between Dominar 250, Ronin and Hunter 350, can anyone please clear my confusion.
Tvs only brand in India. They spend big money in research and innovation..
Going for Ronin
Bhai ... ground clearance ki baat karo...150mm in India is not acceptable..
The logic is very simple...
If you are 5.6 ft and above and well built buy royal Enfield bikes other wise you will hate the bike.
All J series RE is fun and fantastic bike including 650.
Ronin is vfm but looks of hunter is better
Bhaiya ye aap nai konse dealer sai test ride li hai... Taaki hm aware hojate or na le us sai kyunki Ronin ka. To meter hi work na kr raha dealer nai test drive waali bike ki cost bachane k liye ye kia hai
One of the worst decision that TVS has taken to only launch Ronin via Super Premium Stores which are only available in metro cities. 200cc bike shouldn't fall under super premium category, if they want to fight against RE then they also have to work on their network like RE.
If not mistaken then Ronin was launched in Goa and many reviewers were invited but yet you cant find any single TVS Store in Goa who sells Ronin. So if any Goan wants to buy the same then he/she has to make a one way trip of 350 kms at least.
TVS is really working extremely slowly on this but not sure who genius in TVS team had this idea to limit reach of Ronin to the people. As per customer care care update, initially bikes were supposed to be made available almost everywhere.
For example,
Royal Enfield outlet is 30km away from me.
Honda BigWing is 100km away from me (Still manageable to certain extent as I am still rooting for CB350)
Nearest TVS Super Premium Store is 300 to 400km away from me and what customer care told me that even servicing has to be done in same store and not regular store.
Regardless what bike can do for you and what cannot, if anything goes wrong and then you have to visit the store, if it is not nearby then you are only going to regret yourself for making the choice. If I really want to upgrade my bike then choice for me is really forced and obvious.
It is not even here, in Delhi 😂😂
Like literally, i live in the capital and the 3 TVS showrooms near me say that they don't have Ronin 🤦😂😂
@@viankit1 Very shocking to hear that .. more or less same goes with Honda.. they have excellent product compared to RE but stores are really limited.
Again these companies will say, Indians only deserve RE. NO, we deserve better than RE but at least make it available as much as possible.
@@betaredd-h8m anyways, i think I should spend some more time with my FZs, probably I'll think again in 2-3 years when I'll have Ronin, CB 350rs or something premium nearby my location.
Thanks man very useful information..
@@viankit1 fzs really good bike i cruise at 100kmph without any vibration still mileage was 40+
Hunter has very less ground clearance. That's the drawback of this two wheeler.. specially for those who are planning to ride it in small cities with lots of speed cutters.. 🙂
Avenger Se Bhi Low Hai Kya Ground Clearance?
@@aryanpandit4750 yes hunter 2cm less ground clearance than avenger
