  • The aim of the Hunter 350cc is to diversify Royal Enfield’s portfolio and appeal to a wider audience, while that of the TVS Ronin is to stake a claim in some prime, retro-themed, RE territory. The styles of both motorcycles here are those which their respective, well-established, manufacturers aren’t used to producing. Let’s see which works best.

    All the money for hunter went to the engine and style. Ronin has everything new in it and still manage to give us at that price... If RE had done the same imagine how much the price would be.

    Definitely Ronin doesn't look better than hunter but looks is the only criteria to select a bike?
    Well no ground clearance, less vibration, fuel efficiency,led setup,less maintenance cost and above all budget friendly. That's why i chose Ronin

    I like TVS Ronin for its functions and I agree it's a mess of design. But I would prefer it over hunter, bcoz of functionality, bigger tank, better ride posture and ride comfort, wider pillion seat etc.

    Pretty nice looking motorcycles! for 2500$ Canadian you get a lot of bike, could even make highway speed in north america, Royal Enfields prices in north america are pretty agressive considering what you get, but the pricing in India is pretty attractive.

    Yes, I agree TVS ronin styling is not cohesive. But guys, if I cut the rear metal mudguard till indicator similar to Husq v250 and use a tyre hugger from yezdi scrambler.
    Will it be okay ?

    Best difference in hunter & Ronin , Ronin have main plus points are best suspension, easy clutch & good mileage with best engine in this segment. This bike can be used for dailyoffice & weekend drives. Enthusiasts RE fan will not choose this cheap bike if they are reall cruser..

    We have both Hunter and Ronin. My view
    1] led lights- ronin has it, hunter doesn't
    2] suspension- ronin has good suspension than hunter
    3] digital console of ronin is much better than hunter
    4]ronin pure metal hunter fiber plus metal
    5] ronin is 21 kg lighter than hunter
    6] features are more in ronin than hunter
    7] on bad road ronin is comfortable than hunter
    8] I am a person who wants little much more milage plus retro looking good bike so i prefered ronin 225 cc 42.3 km/ l than hunter 350 cc 34 km/l
    9] about 136 km top speed of hunter vs 120 km top speed of ronin. I am not going to drive any bike more than 100 km /hr for sure. I drove 48 kms daily. My top speed is 60 to 80 km.

    Well, Ronin is no threat to the Hunter which is selling more than 15,000 bikes a month! And TVS is not even disclosing how much the Ronin is selling. Dead on arrival, in my opinion.

    Me: Is the Ronin a scooter, a cruiser, a scrambler, a roadster or a commuter bike?
    TVS: Yes.
    Seriously, the Ronin has no design strategy. It's a bunch of motorcycle styles clumped together. The Hunter's design is definitely more cohesive.
