The motorcycle culture in India is driven by motorcycles that combine style with practicality—and the 2025 TVS Ronin is exactly this. This year’s upgrade tweaks a formula that has been cult-favorite by fusing the comfort of a cruiser with the agility of a roadster. But the Ronin isn’t just for riding from A to B; it’s for those riders who want to be noticed while sipping on fuel (a claimed 42.95 kmpl!), and panoramic views.
Whether you use it as a daily commuter or an explorer on weekends, here is why the Ronin 2025 should be on your list.

Design & Style: Neo-Retro with Attitude
The Ronin’s design straddles the boundary of strong and refined. Its neo-retro silhouette gets slight updates for 2025: a sculpted fuel tank, a round LED headlamp with a T-shaped DRL signature, and a chopped tail making it look good for the urban setting. The dark engine and fat tires add a muscular presence, and the ergonomically designed seat (795mm height) and mid-set foot pegs will keep all riders comfortable.
New for 2025: Matte grey, deep blue, and bronze colours—perfect for the rider who wants something different from the colour choices that are available everywhere.
Engine & Performance: City-Slicker Meets Highway Cruiser
Power comes via a 225.9cc single-cylinder oil-cooled engine, set up for the real world:
- 20.4 PS power @ 7,750 rpm
- 19.93 Nm torque @ 3,750 rpm (perfect for stop-and-go traffic)
- 5-speed transmission with an assist/slipper clutch to make shifting butter smooth
TVS optimised the engine for low-end grunt, making it effortless in heavy city traffic. It’s not some slouch on the highway either—you’ll notice relaxed cruising at 80-90 km/h with plenty of punch if you need to overtake quickly..
Ride & Handling: Comfort Meets Confidence
- Chassis: A double cradle frame with USD forks and a rear monoshock (handles potholes like a champ).
- Brakes: Dual-channel ABS with disc brakes on both ends—this is not “safety is optional.”
- Stability: Because of the fat tires, and balanced weight distribution adds to your ability to feel secure in the saddle—even at triple digits!
Even if you are in traffic sliding through lanes or smoothly depleting end-of-road, you won’t tire from the upright riding position.
Features & Tech: Smarter Than Your Average Cruiser
TVS loaded the Ronin with useful tech, not gimmicks:
- Full-LED lighting (because visibility is important).
- Digital console with SmartXonnect Bluetooth (for navigation, call alerts, ride stats)
- Voice assist and two ABS modes (Urban for dry roads, Rain for monsoon riding).
It isn’t bloated with frilly extras—only the things that you will use..

Mileage & Fuel Efficiency: Go Farther, Stop Less
- Claimed mileage: 42.95 kmpl (tested).
- Real-world range: Expect 38–41 kmpl in cities, stretching to 500–550 km per 14-liter tank.
For perspective, that’s Delhi to Jaipur on one fill!
