- 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.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

One of the best reviews of Ronin on UA-cam. I loved it. Thanks and keep bringing more videos on our beloved Ronin 😊
What a wonderful comment! Thank you for watching! More travel videos with Ronin coming soon.
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.
Yes, you seem to have a point there.
Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Amazing and genuine review! Well explained!
Thank you. Glad you found the review helpful!
Such a wonderful review.
😊
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!
200cc bike doesn't have to compete with 400 cc bike.
Yea mann, and i hope that ronin comeup with 225.9 cc but the bore is bigger not squared + 6 gears
I mean to say Sales competition with Aggressive Pricing@@ChrisChettriVlogs
@@zenx951 Please inform to TVS Motorcycles Manufacturing company they will definitely rectify the issue
I really like small reviewers like you who view the bike objectively instead of comparing to every different bikes in the price group and categorizing the bike into segments it clearly doesn't belong to.
Appreciate your comment. Thank you for watching the video!
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.
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.
BEST REVIEW SO FAR
Thank you for watching the video and for such a nice comment.
Very good it's very useful video main bhi plan krrha TVS RONIN lene kaa but confused in base and top model
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.
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.
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.
Nice review , covered all points
Thank you for watching! 🙂
Sir very true and informative review...thx ...u nailed so called you tuber
Thank you for your kind words! 🙏
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?
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.
I think Nice review so far
Thank you! 😊
Brother I wasn't fond of this bike ever since it launched but last week went to tvs showroom to look for a comfortable bike for my father , ronin caught my eye like it was calling me with its charming looks I realized photos dont do justice to this bike , went for test ride and it was such a great experience , super smooth engine , light wieght ,plenty of torque. Perfect bike for father even he agrees , just had one question does this bike have any major problem ? One can live with small problems but can't live with major problem just wanted your views on the bike's reliability. Hopefully you can clear some doubts
You have encapsulated very well what many people think about Ronin.
Apart from what you have stated, I would highly recommend Ronin for its solid build quality. I have had a few falls from Ronin, but none of its parts suffered any damage.
The only issue (which sometimes happens, and sometimes, doesn't), as I have mentioned in the video, is finding the neutral gear. But one gets used to it and one realises that with a light press from the second gear, the neutral gear is often found.
Having said that, I would suggest that you do a thorough check of the motorcycle before buying it. Check for rusting issues on the brake disks.
@@RoamwithRamu thank you so much brother 🙏
🌹🌹🌹 Nice, honest and objective.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! 😊
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
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.
for indian person, your English is really good!
Thank you, my friend! 🙂
Most people in t1 and t2 cities have good English
Ronin is amazing bike… We rode this bike till Gangotri Dham ( Uttarakhand) 1400 km ride and it was a very good experience ❤
How the suspension bro, for pillion comfort or not,
Can Two people ride hilly road
Wow, 1400 kms! That's amazing. Visit to Gangotri Dham is on my wish list. Thank you for sharing your experience!
@@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.
@@ajagava2063 for two with bags i think little bit difficult
For solo rider this bike is amazing
@@ajagava2063 suspensions are good ( stable on highway and can do little bit offroad and no issue on mountain roads )
Very nice. Useful.
Thank you for watching!
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
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.
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
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 subjective matter.
Well explained
Thank you for watching. 😊
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
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.
@@RoamwithRamu thank you
Yes this bike has chain noise problem
Need to lubricate every 500 kms otherwise it will damage the sprocket
Hey great review!! Just wanted to know what's your height as I noticed your foot was tip toeing on the ground.
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.
If you are 5'7 you will flat foot on it
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
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.
bro aapne accha video banaya mere pas bhi same bike hai last year lee hai ,,,,,,,,,, kya aapko iska handlebar trichha(inclined ) lagta hai jab aap drive karte hai to .....
Hello bro! Thank you for watching. Abhi tak toh aise kuch laga nhi. Handlebar thik chal rha hai.
Nicee review, beautiful bike..how is pick up with pillion and what is top speed you achieved
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.
Tell about Suspension of seat
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.
Should I go for hunter, i am working in corporate office. mostly I used to travel in City only. Kindly suggest
Thanks
Before buying Ronin, I had also given some thought to Hunter. I didn't buy Hunter because of its low ground clearance, heating issues, somewhat uncomfortable seat for the pillion, and idea of going with the crowd.
So far, I haven't had any problems with my Ronin, and I'm quite happy with it.
As for you, I think you should take test rides of both the motorcycles, and see how you feel about both, and then make a decision.
@@RoamwithRamu Thank you for the suggestion 😊
Ronin is beautiful.
Indeed.
Should a person who is 5 10 is it suitable
Absolutely, yes.
bro, what is your height? just to compare the seat height
Hi, bro! My height is 5 feet 4 inches. If you are similar to my height, you can easily ride this motorcycle. A little taller than me, flatfooting for you won't be any problem.
@@RoamwithRamu thanks
@@RoamwithRamu is there any option for lowering seat height? by changing seat or by adjusting suspension?
@@ameerfayiz2577 I had actually asked about it while doing the first service at TVS, they said the suspension cannot be adjusted. But, you can do some modification with the seat at some customising shop.
How much mileage
About 43 to 45 km per litre.
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.....😊
Hello, thank you for watching the video!
I fell twice by the time I made this video, and it's been a few months after the video, so I fell a few more times still.
No, the balance is fine, the fault lies in my riding and sometimes in the terrain.
At the time of making the video, I mentioned whatever came to my mind. But, I do see your point, because those are important details.
The engine is powerful for its class. I have ridden through uphills and downhills without any issues. I rode it for 130 km without rest, and yet there was no heating issue. The bike has good traction control and one feels confident on it.
The digital interface is clear and not very busy and you have the necessary details clearly displayed. I have the top model, so I have Bluetooth connectivity and turn by turn navigation as well. But I hardly use these features as I find them a distraction.
@RoamwithRamu Bro what about light focus after 90/100speed and mileage? I heard tvs mechanics are not well trained for Ronin....is this true?
@@pradeepswain185 Hi, by 'light' I hope you mean the light in the night. At night, I try not to ride above 80 kmph, and the light seems just fine.
I get about 43 kmpl.
@@RoamwithRamu Thank you 🙏
Official arai is 43kmpl then how you got 50kmpl?
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).
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 ?
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).
Just install a backrest for the pillion's comfort.
Thanks a lot for the reply
how was the service experience with tvs
The service experience was good. Did the first and second servicing, and quite happy with the support provided.
Bro does the glide through technology make it easier to ride it? (I am new to bikes and dont know how to ride one)
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.
Ronin is also my first bike, so don't worry, u will learn and easily ride one.
Sir what is your hight , I am 5'10 will this bike suit me..
I am 5 feet and 4 inches. For your height, this bike is perfect.
@@RoamwithRamu ohk thanks 👍 by the way good work with the videos...
@@otisdubey Thank you. Appreciate your comment.🙏
07.20…”.nothing happened to me or to ronin”…..your wife would torture you if she heard this😂
She has already done so. 😄 But ever since this video, I have uploaded more videos where I have been very careful, so my wife has gone a little easy on me. 😅
Sir for double long ride how is it
In my experience, it's good. Just install a backrest for the pillion.
best
At around 7:05, you say "Nothing happened to me or to Ronin" when there was a pillion rider too ! .
Typical bike loving man. same like me.
And the pillion rider happened to be my wife! 😀 I actually forgot to mention about her, however, she has now seen this comment and is complaining (in a lighthearted manner) about how careless I can be.
@@RoamwithRamu😂
what happened why You fall? false gear shifting
I mean false netural
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.
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
Itna kyon gortha hai bhai, gaadi ka issue hai kya
'Gortha hai' matlab samjha nhi main.
Its not a good looking bike.
Okay. Everyone has a different perspective.
Nothing happened to you and Ronin? And what about your wife 🤣
And, nothing happened to her either! 😅
The fall was for views 😂
Shame
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.
