Confusing it may look to the "trained" eye, but confused it is not! I can see what the designers were going after. It is the one bike for the typical one bike garage of an average Indian consumer. Daily commutes, weekend rides, a bit of rough road scrambling (which is an every day ride for the rural consumer anyway), it's the one bike that won't bat an eyelid taking on anything that the Indian rider demands of it. Also, kudos to Karthikeya for braving the orange alert that most other reviewers were fazed by. Very well put together review despite the conditions. Absolute benchmark in auto journalism!

Personally, I find this a looker. I see a little bit of Interceptor (tank and below), scramblerish at the rear and a bit of an Avenger at the front. A slight bigger frame could have been great though.

1.5 lakh TVS bike is competing with 2 lakh Honda/RE bike and still better engine, better performance (not on paper) , better quality, better comfort because of better suspension esp rear monoshock unlike the rivals having stone age dual spring suspension, fully covered chain so no tension of chain and way better refined and reliable than those tractor kind of 350cc engines. Kudos to tvs

Sums it up! Well said.

I’d disagree with the verdict because my father has absolutely fallen in love with this motorcycle. For the stance and the tech and the sheer value it offers, he discarded his love for the CB350 and is continuously inquiring about it in the nearby showrooms. Hence, I feel that this bike will definitely attract a generous fan base.

The one I can see clearly is the practicality, all the tech gimmicks aside, the last practical no nonsense bike which is suitable for office rides on week days and some long ride fun on weekends was the fz250 which is light on pocket and good to ride, now i see the same / a better version here, as it has relaxed seating, a ton of accessories from the company itself, now the only thing that stands here is reliability, hope it lives up to it, coz I'll be going for either a fz25 or a Ronin for sure

Karthikeya looked impressed with the tank. For me, it looks similar to that of a Bajaj V15. I liked the headlight, it looks premium. On the whole, it looks like a confused looking bike to me.

As always, impeccable review. Thanks for bringing it ZW factor in it. This seems to fit my requirement in almost all parameters. A couple of queries, though. 1. How do you rate the agility and performance in terms of long touring, in terms of riding to Ladakh and the likes? 2. Have checked for the add-ons. They seem to be good. Any improvements you suggest TVS apart from Braking and rear looks?

1:54 Does the FX 250X exist??! Honestly, they should compare this to the Bajaj Avenger... That's how the rider looks like on this bike.

Now TVS needs is an Adv category. All the others are taken care of. Powerful sports rr310, cool commuter rtr200 and of course this is a mix of scram and roedster.

This is now my dream bike now... sooner or later, I will end up having it 4 sure..

I like the styling . That tail lamp looks good. The bike delivers all its torque below 4000rpm just like enfields. But take into consideration that the new gen RE BULLET will be similar in price. And that new RE(hunter) could be even cheaper. the pricing is bit off. For 1.5lakhs - you can get N250 with dual channel ABS For 1.6lakhs - you get MT-15 For 1.75 lakhs - you get dominar 250.

A fantastic presentation as always, Kartikeya! You're awesome. This is miles away from the Zeppelin concept. A little disappointing that way. But if you look at it just for what it is, it's still confusing to me. I was expecting a cruiser dish but what TVS served is a scrambled platter. I wonder if the Avenger will ever see some competition (don't even bother about the horrendous Intruder). Ronin to TVS seems like what Punch is to Tata. PS: I'm a big time Tata fan myself.

I like everything about this bike, except the only thing that keeps bothering me is the placement of the foot pegs... Its way too front for my liking... If it was just place such as cb350 or classic 350 stance.. it would have been better. A bit aggressive stance is required here and there in a bike, we all want it, but may not all agree with it.

Can the handlebars be lowered? I feel that can make a massive difference in terms of how the bike looks, especially the shoulder, it would look substantial and mildly muscular, thereby giving the bike more presence despite being small. Please clarify this query.

This is just fab no more waiting for yamaha xsr

the T n headlight resembles the logo of triumph and I see a good city bike with lill bit design language of scrambler. 225cc may be the odd one out engine, the most unconventionally placed speedo, USD front forks may be a good one for better handling.

I would like to see Ronin with Panniers or saddle bags and top box with extended grabrail like Dominar's Grab rail. It will surely make heads turn and a good long ride bike...

i think the FZ250 is the real competitor considering power figures,weight and price.

why is media comparing it to 350cc competitors? its clearly a rival to the 'xsr' that yamaha gave us called the fz-x.

After thinking for a Long time, Finally I know what it is, it's The NEW BAJAJ V (vikrant)

The design is fresh and unique👌🏻

Tesla might sue TVS for copying the T on the headlight

One very honest thing about the marketing here is "ghanta unscripted". Scrambler has been a thing for a long time now.

Quality is rarely an issue with TVS, so no worries there. But the bike looks confused. It looks like a tourer and a cruiser and a scrambler at the same time. Looks like a teeny tiny version of the BMW R9t

Tvs took inspiration from the Trident 660 and it's not necessarily a bad thing. They could have gone for a scrambler format and it would have rocked. Sad to see the Zeppelin Cruiser won't make it to production though

Still the cb 350 is a better bike if one can shell out that bit of extra cash. A long stroke engine is inherently made for touring, and the cb has much more torque, and the same power from a much bigger engine means the cb doesn't even heat as much as the Apache. Additionally, the cb can easily cruise at 120 without feeling out of breath, I've seen videos of cb clocking 150! Would be good for once to have a review that isn't biased against the Honda. But for the price Ronin is brilliant.
