Trending Questions on TVS Ronin - Answered by Autocar Experts

R
Asked by: Ra naon Jan 5, 2026

I’m 5′ 5″, aged 47. I owned a Splendor for 10 years and a Honda Twister for 10 years and sold both. For the past 8 years I have been riding a TVS Scooty. I am planning to buy a bike under ₹2 lakh. I prefer long rides over city commutes and plan to do a lot of interstate travel. My requirements are comfortable ergonomics that are easy on my spine, reliability, light weight, and decent mileage. Please suggest.

Consider your usage and budget, bikes like the TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be options we recommend you take a look at. Both are smooth and comfortable machines with neutral riders' triangles, which will be conducive to long stints in the saddle. 

You can even take a look at the Hero Xpulse 210 if you want a dual-purpose machine. It will be the most comfortable and capable of the three bikes we've suggested here. 

However, it is also the tallest, so if you are a shorter rider who isn't comfortable with tall bikes, then this may not be the best bet for you. 

Take a test ride of everything you shortlist before you make a decision.

Asked by: Pearlsamy Jenaon Jan 4, 2026

I have been riding scooters for a long time and want to shift to a bike, but I don’t have much experience with geared motorcycles. I stay in a hilly area, so I need something with good power and strong brakes (it rains a lot here). I also want good pillion comfort for my wife. My average running per month is around 400 km, with occasional drives under 100 km. My budget can be stretched to ₹2.5 lakh. Thanks a ton.

Considering your usage and budget, you can look at bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter / Bullet / Classic 350, Honda CB350 trio, TVS Ronin and the Hero Xpulse 210. All have spacious seats, comfortable suspension and have decent braking performance too. A test ride of all these machines with your wife sitting behind you will help you decide which is the right fit for you. 

Do bear in mind that making the switch from a scooter to a motorcycle will need good hand and foot coordination to operate the clutch and gear pedal.  We recommend you practice on a used bike first before taking the plunge.

Asked by: Aparajito Autocar Sethon Jan 4, 2026

I am 37 yrs old, with a serious back pain issue from slipped discs. Due to my job compulsion i need to commute 70 kms daily (30 km highway, 40 km city)on bike. While my old Unicorn is doing okay, i want to get a bike which has the most comfortable ride with least jerking (keeping my back pain in mind). I had earlier found the bullet classic 350 and avenger 220 to be mildly comfortable rides. Budget is not a constraint.

If you want to stay in the same displacement range as your Unicorn, you can look at the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. Both have great suspension, peppy performance and will return similar fuel economy to your Unicorn. 

If you want to make a step up, then bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter / Bullet / Classic 350, TVS Ronin, and Honda CB350 trio will make for good commuting partners. These are bikes with upright, neutral ergonomics, plush suspension setups and torquey, smooth engines. Expect lower fuel economy in comparison to your Unicorn, however, by virtue of its larger displacement.

Lastly, the Hero Xpulse 210 is a wonderful do-it-all machine which will have the best suspension comfort of all the bikes listed here.

A test ride of all of these bikes will help you determine which one is best for you.

Asked by: Pearlsamy Jenaon Jan 1, 2026

My average monthly distance is 400 km and I stay in a hilly area. I’m thinking of buying a bike with a budget of around ₹2–2.5 lakh. I need something with enough power to handle the ghats, good pillion comfort, suitable for long journeys, and capable in the rains. Thanks.

Considering your requirements, bikes such as the TVS Ronin, Honda CB300F, CB350 trio, Royal Enfield 350s, and Hero Xpulse 210 will serve you well. All are reasonably powerful bikes that can handle the weight of two-up riding and keep your passenger comfortable. 

A test ride of all these machines with your preferred passenger will help you make an informed decision.

Asked by: Anurag Mishraon Dec 30, 2025

I want to buy a bike mainly for city use (around 90%). My budget is under ₹3 lakh. I am looking for a good-looking bike with a comfortable suspension. Please advise.

Within your budget, bikes like the TVS Ronin, Royal Enfield Hunter/Bullet/Classic, Triumph Speed 400, Harley-Davidson X440, as well as the Honda CB350 models, will make for a good fit in the neo-retro roadster segment. If you want something that's a little more rugged, then ADV bikes like the TVS Apache RTX 300, Hero Xpulse 210, and KTM 250 Adventure deserve your attention. 
A test ride of all these should help you decide which is the best option for your usage as well as your physique.

Asked by: Syed Dilshad Jaffrion Dec 30, 2025

I am a college student planning to buy my first bike. I want a reliable retro-looking bike with low maintenance, good performance, decent mileage, and easy manoeuvrability for city use, along with the ability to do an occasional long tour once every 2 to 3 years. I have booked the Hunter 350 (Graphite Grey), but I am now confused due to alternatives like the TVS Ronin, Yamaha XSR, and others.

As a first bike, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 that you have booked will fit the bill well enough for your needs. This Royal Enfield bike is an approachable, easygoing, comfortable and decently reliable and fuel-efficient machine.
Other options which you have shortlisted, like the TVS Ronin and Yamaha XSR155, are also great bikes, but the Ronin's design isn't universally appreciated, and the Yamaha's suspension can feel a little stiff over bad patches of road.
If you want more performance, take a look at the Triumph Speed 400, as that bike has a 400cc engine making 40hp and will be a good first bike too. Take a test ride of everything you shortlist before you make a decision.

Asked by: wolveron Dec 30, 2025

Which is better for daily commuting and occasional long trips, the TVS Ronin or the Royal Enfield Hunter 350?

Both the TVS Ronin and Hunter 350 are motorcycles that can handle city and highway duties quite well. Choosing between the two will boil down to which one's looks and riding experience you prefer.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has a more relaxed riding experience due to its soulful 349cc, single-cylinder engine and heavier weight. The Ronin is slightly more eager - but it's not sporty - with its lighter weight and peppy engine. Take a test ride of both to see which one suits you best before making a decision.

Asked by: Arun Son Dec 29, 2025

Hi team, I'm 5′9″ and well built. I need a bike for my daily city commute of about 30 km, and I want it to be not above 350 cc. I am a sedate driver. Please suggest.

Since most of your usage is inside the city, bikes like the Hero Xpulse 210, Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic / Hunter 350, Honda CB350 trio and the TVS Ronin will make for good options to consider depending on your preference. 

If you do want something a touch sportier but not very rambunctious, then the KTM 250 Duke also makes for a great companion. 

A test ride of everything you decide to shortlist will help you make a decision.

Asked by: Manion Dec 25, 2025

Thank you for all your reliable and practical answers. I am 40 years old and have ridden a Thunderbird and a Unicorn for many years. I now want to buy a new bike. I don’t want a heavy bike like a Royal Enfield, and I am concerned about the thin front tyre on the Unicorn, so I am planning to go with the Honda NX200. I want an upright riding position and a bike suitable for family use as well. Kindly suggest.

The Honda NX200 is a decent option for you, considering your usage, but there are also plenty of other options worth considering before making a decision. From Honda's own fleet, you can consider the CB300F, which will offer you much better performance with similar comfort while actually costing a little less than the smaller NX200. 

The TVS Ronin also makes a good case for itself. It has a torquey, smooth engine with neutral ergonomics and great suspension comfort. At 160kg, it is also a fairly light machine. 

Take a test ride of these - and anything else you might consider - before you make up your mind.

What bike can I prefer at a ₹2 lakh price range? This will be my first bike, with daily usage of around 30-35 km and an occasional ride of about 200 km once a quarter.

Since this is your first bike, you should ask yourself what sort of rider you are and then pick the machine accordingly. If you feel you enjoy speed and want a sporty, engaging machine, then something like a KTM 160 / 200 Duke, Yamaha YZF R15 V4 / MT-15 and XSR155 will be good options to consider. 

If you want to have a relaxed riding experience and want something stylish, then a Royal Enfield Hunter 350 or TVS Ronin would be a good starting point. Lastly, if you want a single 'standard' bike that can do most daily things, then something like a Honda CB300F would be a good option. 

If you want something that prioritises fuel efficiency, a 160cc commuter from Honda, TVS, Bajaj, Hero or Yamaha would be the way to go. 

Take thorough test rides of each machine you consider before making up your mind up.
