TVS Ronin - Reviews

The TVS Ronin 225, priced at Rs. 4,49,900 in Nepal, is a feature-rich neo-retro cruiser that blends rugged charm with modern technology, offering a refreshing alternative in the mid-segment motorcycle market. Powered by a 225.9cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled BS6-compliant engine, the Ronin delivers 20.4 PS of peak power at 7750 rpm and 19.93 Nm of torque at a low 3750 rpm, making it ideal for city cruising and short highway hauls. Its engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox and enhanced by Glide Through Technology (GTT) for smoother low-speed maneuvering, especially in traffic. The addition of a slipper clutch further refines the riding experience by reducing clutch effort and enhancing control during downshifts. In terms of design, the Ronin stands out with a unique neo-retro styling — a circular LED headlamp with signature T-Face DRLs, squared-off mirrors, sculpted fuel tank, and a custom black exhaust system — all working together to give it a distinctive and muscular appearance. The bike also boasts an offset digital meter with gear position indicator and SmartXonnect Bluetooth connectivity, allowing for turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, and ride data analytics. For safety, it features dual-channel ABS with two selectable modes (Urban and Rain), paired with front and rear disc brakes on 17-inch alloy wheels. Additional highlights include USD front forks, a mono-shock rear suspension, a 14-liter fuel tank, adjustable levers, a side-stand engine cut-off, and a comfortable 795 mm seat height. Available in limited but attractive color options like Grey and Orange, the TVS Ronin 225 offers a strong mix of style, practicality, and innovation, making it a compelling cruiser for riders who want a modern machine with classic character.
