Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs TVS Ronin 225 - Ride Comparison 

Honestly speaking ronin has upper hand in top speed ,mileage , comfort and features.. and hunter has torquey nature and re fan base .. its all about preferences...both are worthy 🙌

Thanks for the video! Waiting for the detailed comparison on other/all metrics.

Best thing about the video is you gav honest opinion about both bikes and which class of people would prefer hunter 350 or Ronin . Nowdays bloggers giv baised reviews n u were honest on your experience. Great work, Cheers!!!

Took a small ride on both motorcycles , I found the ronin was a lot more comfortable and fun to ride than re hunter , although the hunter sounds more powerful due to 350cc engine , but that’s not the case , ronin feels a lot more responsive and is giving better fuel economy as well. I would personally choose Ronin , don’t let the numbers fool you lol.

Being a Mechanical engineer and a designer in automotive field, I have following observations. I was looking for a family bike for city rides mostly with a flat (horizontal seat), circular headlamp and retro-like + premium design (not like 100-150cc bikes). After exploring lot of bikes, I finalized three options to compare. 1. Honda H'ness 350 CC 2. Royal Enfield Hunter Rebel 350 CC 3. TVS Ronin 225 CC I test drove all 3 vehicles 2-3 times and following are my observations, 1. Honda H'ness 350 CC - *Pros* - Nice retro/classic look, Low end torque is good, Seating space for pillion rider is more than other two vehicles. *Cons* - Bulkier (Box size), Paint quality, Higher cost as compared to other two vehicles 2. Royal Enfield Hunter Rebel 350 CC - *Pros* - Beautiful Design/Styling/Look, Great color schemes, Turning radius is smaller than Ronin (Less space to turn the vehicle), Reasonable cost. *Cons* - The biggest issue (design flaw) is positioning of foot rest (pegs), just below the sitting position. This makes it difficult to keep your feet on ground while you are at signal or in slow moving traffic. Foot rest (pegs) keep touching your legs and is very uncomfortable. Another point is that seat on rear end tapers downward and seating space for pillion rider being less, pillion rider tend to move back and when you accelerate, pillion may feel like toppling/falling down at back side. So this is not safe and hence, back rest is MUST. Handle bar positioned in such a way that you need to keep your hands stretched straight all the times which is not a comfortable sitting posture. Low end torque/performance (2 & 3 gear) is sluggish due to bigger engine. (Not as good as smaller capacity bikes) 3. TVS Ronin 225 CC - *Pros* - Semi-retro look with circular headlamp, Driveability and Performance is superb. Handle bar position is very good for comfortable sitting posture with hands slightly bent in elbows. Very easy to handle in traffic. *Cons* - Very bad design/aesthetics of fuel tank (some odd shape), Color schemes are odd (not impressive), Turning radius is higher than Hunter (Needs larger space to turn the vehicle). Cost is on higher side for lower CC as compared to Hunter (mainly due to features). Overall, none of them is meeting my requirements (as mentioned above) and hence, I decided to wait for Kawasaki W175 or Yamaha XSR or Improved version of Royal Enfield Hunter. All the best!

Wow the whole audience is very polarized..... 50-50 both has it's own lovers....

Its the comparison that i am waiting for😍😍

So much eagerly waiting for this comparison 🥺

Other than mileage that will directly impact your pockets over time, these 2 bikes differences are just about preferences. You can have either bike and be completely satisfied. RE with more CC is more torquey but still Ronin has a higher top speed. So 225cc engine is not a shortcoming in all cases. I would be happy with either bike. Just that my pocket would be annoyed to spend extra on RE for fuel over time.

This was a required comparision 🥳💜

Is comparision ka mujhe kab se wait tha thanks for this🥰

Finally Booked RONIN 2.19lakh

The most awaited video.

Seriusli im waiting this video 😍 Thankuh bro for this video😍✌️

I make my mind , I'm going with Ronin. Thanks bro 👍

Using Ronin from 2 weeks and it's perfect for all conditions and also getting around 45 kmpl

Ronin better in every aspect 🔥

Thanks bro for such lovely comparison..was waiting to see this. Really getting difficult to choose one among them. Will need to do test drive to finalize.. thanks again :)

I love hunter♥️.. Booking tomorrow

Rolin won in comment section hunter won in showroom sale 🤞

Waiting for this comparison

RU-vid : Ronin is better reality: Hunter sales 99% Ronin 1%

I took test rides of both the motorcycles and Ronin definitely felt much more comfortable and fun to ride than hunter, also gear box is super smooth on Ronin. While riding hunter I felt as if I had to stretch my arms to ride it, I don't know if this is with every RE buke

Bhai, thank you. Hunter ke Mirrors toh dekho kitna Vibrate karte hain - Phew

Have been driving Ronin for a week now never have i ever ridden such a smooth bike ….. the ride quality is next level

Request you to discuss fit and finish of both motorcycle’s. The fender and side panels on Re is plastic and Ronin is metal. The gold USD front forks look premium, seats are more supportive, Ronin feels much more premium. 2 abs modes for rain and street. Re hunter is a very confusing motorcycle. Whenever i see the hunter, I feel like buying it but I’m avoiding it since it feels very cheap and like a compromise. Thank you so much for all the effort. Liked And subscribed.

I own a ronin , but some good things that hunter offers better than ronin is 1.10mm wider rear tyre 2.bigger 350cc engine with more torque 3.30mm wider rear disc. 4. Bybre branded brakes 5. RE engines are pretty refined and i think they can also give a mileage upto 35 Other than that Pros in Ronin over hunter 350 are: 1. full digital instrument cluster 2. Slipper clutch which really does make a difference 3. Led indicators 4. Front usd folks 5. Full led headlight setup with Drl and light throw is also satisfactory. 6.Metal mudguards ( though some people won't even consider it ) 7. 30mm more ground clearance 8. Mileage is 36 to 40 but depending on city to highway traffic before 1st service . Also cost of all features in Ronin is included in ex-showroom price but in hunter you'll end up paying extra for accessories which will increase your overall cost

Thanks bro ❤️‍🔥

Ronin is the better pick. Practical bike with all features. Only if you're a RE fan and spend more time n money for maintenance , go for hunter..it may impress others too. May be.

Hi bahu nice comparison both bike ek dum jhakas .bro ek new hai plz check Karo ki moto vlog ban hora hai india mein 🙏

Perfect Video but my heart goes with Ronin ❤️

Booked the Dawn Orange variant at 2.23 lakh. It's been more than 25 days now. Still waiting for the delivery.

RE is great no offense to RE lovers out there but practically speaking this bike is clearly not meant for off-roading even if you are riding in city roads the bike will definitely have issues. But Ronin does it better with great comfort and riding experience 🫶

Slipper clutch is there so Ronin has more features as compared to Hunter, also weight is less

You should also include details of ground clearance of the bikes... with pillion and without pillion.

Agar Ronin ka meter console ka placement hunter ki tarah hota, chain cover simple hota and tail light honda CB 350 RS ki tarah hoti , front me exhaust and engine cover thoda kam bahar ki taraf nikla hua hota to Ronin market crash kar deti.

Bhai drag race karao plzz

Hunter❤❤

Ekdam kadak vi 🔥🔥🔥🔥 best colors

it is evident that TVS tried to make the Ronin LOOK LIKE bigger bike with those FLARED/ Flatter Rear mudguards and that dis proportionate Tank shape and those USD 40+ size Forks and those Fatter wheels

Honest comparison

What is the stress free, comfortable cruising speed of tvs Ronin on highway?

I took test ride of both the bikes. Initially i was inclined towards hunter as i am a huge RE fanboy but seeing the practicality of everything i feel Ronin is best value for money for 95% of consumers who are going to use it as a daily commuter and weekend rides. Top speed 135+ , Glide through traffic feature, very nimble to manuaver in day to day traffic, super comfort , best riding posture , engine refinement , smooth gear box power to weight ratio is better than hunter so in real world it delivers slipper assist clutch Showa USD forks LEDs all around Bass heavy exhaust note and best of all 40+ milage that will pay dividend in long run. In a nutshell Ronin is complete bike whereas Hunter feels like a downgraded 350 classic.

Nice review

I just want a drag race between them

I’m confused between Dominar 250, Ronin and Hunter 350, can anyone please clear my confusion.

Sir, please make all your video in 4k quality

Actual mein baithneke baad ground clearance measure karo, kyuki company claimed toh ek baat hai lekin dikhne ne dono same lag rahe hai isliye. An also if possible check with person sitting in pillion seat as well

Here people more inclined towards ronin bcoz of more features and top end. But they don't know low end torque of an RE which is where actual fun is lies, it's not just about brand but feel, surely u will missed in ronin. Yeh, until now RE has had quality issues but this is a new breed based on j series platform so before criticising we should give them a chance to prove.

Ronin starts from where Hunter ends. It's the wiser choice.

I am 5'3 Hight, which one i choose as my first bike?? Plz reply... 🙏🏻

Ronin ❤️

pure uphil aur thoda baht kharap raste ke liye kon sa best hoga

I tried both then i went for Ronin.

RE hunter 350 or Ronin 225 ka maintenance cost kiska jada rahega..

Fuel economy is the main villain.

Bhai main bike kum chalata hoon 1week mai 2. 3 bar wo bhi kabhi kabhi toh mujie konsi lyna chaiye bike

Dono ka Base variant ka comparison kariye pls

Ronin is For those who want scrambler/roadster looks with comfort

Going for Ronin

Ground clearance of 150mm, what is RE smoking?

Hunter is only good coz of the name and customisation options. The fit finish and feature list is better for the Ronin. Weight smooth ride better mileage top speed, Ronin does everything better. The seat Comfort is much better on Ronin. Re hunter has everything just ok but the brand name drags it way ahead.

Street rod lagti hai re ki samne se with that visor
