TVS Ronin vs Royal Enfield Bullet 350

The Bullet 350 is undoubtedly the most recognizable motorcycle in this market, and this segment is definitely ruled by Royal Enfield. The 346 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine on the bike is still recognizable and is adjusted to produce 19.1 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and 28 Nm of maximum torque at 4,000 rpm. A 5-speed gearbox is connected to the motor. Prices range from Rs. 1.48 lakh for the base version to Rs. 1.63 lakh for the Electric Start variant (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Ronin, in contrast, has a 125 cc smaller engine, better gear, and is also lighter. The triple-tone Ronin is more expensive, but prices for both models are comparable.

TVS Ronin vs Jawa 42

The Jawa 42, a similarly contemporary product, will put pressure on the Ronin. The motorcycle has a 293 cc single-cylinder engine tuned to produce peak torque and horsepower of 27, both of which are higher than those of the Ronin. Depending on the version you prefer, it also has blacked-out and chrome styling themes. Single-channel and dual-channel ABS versions of the Jawa 42 are each priced at Rs. 1.72 lakh and Rs. 1.81 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively.

TVS Ronin vs Bajaj Dominar 250

The Bajaj Dominar 250 is a close competitor to the TVS Ronin in terms of features. The Dominar is a hybrid cruiser/sports bike that offers a comfortable ride and a potent 249 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor derived from KTM. With a 6-speed transmission, the engine produces a peak torque of 23.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm and roughly 27 horsepower at 8,500 rpm. The Dominar 250, although being heavy, dazzles on the highway with its road manners and comes equipped with high-end features like USD forks, monoshock suspension, LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, and more. The bike is only slightly more expensive than the top-spec Ronin at Rs. 1.75 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

TVS Ronin vs Bajaj Avenger 220

The Bajaj Avenger 220, the first and arguably the most popular low-cost cruiser on the market, is still a strong seller over twenty years after it was introduced. The motorcycle has consistently maintained its appeal because of how simple it is to ride and how affordable it is. At 8,500 rpm, the Avenger 220 cc single-cylinder DTS-i engine is set to produce 19 horsepower, and at 7,000 rpm, it produces its maximum torque of 17.55 Nm. The fuel-injected engine is mated to a 5-speed transmission. With telescopic forks, an analogue instrument cluster, and single-channel ABS, the cruiser is less well-equipped than Ronin. Priced at Rs. 1.38 lakh, it is also significantly more reasonable (ex-showroom, Delhi).
