A Scrambler for 3.800 euro? Testing the new TVS Ronin in the Alps
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- As part of a three days trip around the Alps between Austria, Slovenia and Italy, we took the TVS Ronin with us to test it ahead of its arrival to the European market. Is it worth it? How much adventure do you get for 3.800 eur?

In the part of Africa where i live, you see riders carry 3 bags of cement on bikes like this and ride through potholes, ditches and gullies. I laugh when reviewers say these bikes cant go of road. Nya nya nya nya 😂😂. Just come to Nigeria and see wonders
Same here in India bro ❤😅
True.
People in India take 110cc bikes to an altitude t
of 5000mts 😂
Exactly same case with TVs xl here in India people carry huge load with 100cc bike😂
😂 😂 true true.
And I think the most common bike used for the cause is Bajaj Boxer!!
Fun Fact : This unknown Indian brand (TVS) owns Norton ;)
And also making motorcycles for bmw 😊
*entry level motorcycles
the ronin has reached EU market? 😮
Not yet.... 2025 .
It's a flop product in India!
TVS is a really good company and especially it is the first company in India to take motorsports seriously for the past 30 years albeit with small capacity motorcycles, but it has the pedigree also it is a great company when it comes to fit and finish quality and is the second largest motorcycle manufacturer in India. There Motorcycles are always known as great handling machines due to their local motor-sporting presents for 30 years now, But now they have started to venture outside of India and I think that will help them make bigger capacity motorcycles and it is good for both India and Europe, as it is a very trustworthy company (cannot be said the same about servicing network which has been a hit or miss in India at least).
Tvs recently acquired Norton motorcycle UK and great things are about to unfold. Europe is actually getting a good option with TVS if they enter the market with large capacity motorcycles.
@@ParanoidDharmas it's flop cuz people opted for hunter
I'm surprised to see TVS in Europe....
I am the owner of this bike. TVS is motorcycle company which manufacturers BMW's 310 series which by the way is around 25% of its sales. TVS calls Ronin as unscripted ie. does not fall in standard categorization. Its good candidate if you want to customize it. Its power may not be sufficient for empty and good quality roads of EU and NA but in India it has got perfect speed + fuel efficiency combo. If driven well it can give upto 50 KM/Litre of Petrol. Surprised and delighted to see Ronin running in EU Alps.
also owner , agreed 👍
BMW 310 is just rebadge version
Ronin user here
Totally agree i even got 55+kmpl even running b/w 85-100kmps speed!
Wait till you guys get your hands on TVS XL
One of the best bikes in india😅😅 😂 10/10 recommended
1000 kgs payload ❤❤
Absolutely a beast product, 😅
70 kmpl 😂
You mean Luna?
My father had that before buying a Motorbike.
10,000 kms with this bike, zero regrets. Comfortable, easy, cute and compact bike. PS : i’m not a need for speed guy, i’ll take the -20% speed for +20% in everything else
what is the average mileage you are getting?
It can go 40+ easily in cities.
@@Mayurrrrr.Yup me too 38-40
Tvs is a good company
Yes absolutely true. I was a very humble customer for TVs for 4 years. I went loads of places.
I have done 3000km trip in 40 degree celcius on a 225cc single. trust me this puny bikes are capable of going crazy distances you cant imagine.
Lol wasn't expecting to see this TVS in the hands of international reviewers
Edit:- it's no scrambler, it's a wierd crossover between a scrambler and a cruiser. Yeah doesn't sell well in India either. Comfy city commuter though
Yes it's a crossover but not weird. It's actually a very balanced machine targeted to young and beginner riders who wants to use their bike for occasional touring and daily city rides. Their are plenty of bikes in market for different purposes like adventure, tourer , scrambler, sporty....but you can't buy all . Customer must understand their purpose then choose. I've seen many sad customers of Royal Enfield as well as I've also seen many happy customer of Hero super splendor.
If the rider is good he will surely find a way to get the best performance of his bike.
Very stupid comment. I guess you haven't ridden the bike well. I personally own tvs ronin & ridden almost 20,000km in 1 year, very balanced machine with enough power (I used to cruise at 90-100 with saddle, tank bag and with pillion), seating position top notch with lots of features and good power to weight ratio. You can ride it in the city, bumper to bumper traffic, do some little off-road, anything. A very well built and smooth machine by tvs. At least better than any bike in this price segment.
@@arindamchowdhury4231 I found it weird because a scrambler shines in the rough stuff while a cruiser is the exact opposite, good for TVS though, tried something different and unique.
And RE very rarely has happy customers, most of them haven't ridden it for long or haven't lived with it long enough. It was all mechanical issues before the twins and J series, after this it was mainly electrical or SC messing up. If your luck was really bad then mechanical issues too.
Can't argue with the rest of the points, makes sense.
@@Darptrolling figured you owned it.
Any chance you were in the Bullet riding group out of Mumbai? One of my friend from there currently rides a Ronin with similarly high running. He's done numerous Goa-Ladakh, Darjeeling and many more on the Ronin so the touring capability isn't the one to be questioned. He's a little over 52yrs old so that makes it even more impressive.
The point was, this bike isn't the one for me. Ik any bike can be a touring bike but 20hp out on the highway is just a sedate cruiser, not into it anymore. Can't beat the value in the price segment though, far better in the city than it's supposed rival from RE.
Have done 15k km in this machine...just one word I can say it's unbeatable..far far far better than royal Enfield...I have ridden off-roading,highway riding in this machine❤️❤️❤️..for any reference check the channel @motors2motherboards
Everything aside i want to appreciate the accurate exhaust sounds on drive by. Even big company bike reviewers I have seen don't get this right and it just sounds generic. This sounds very accurate to what it would sound on board through everything!
I wasn't expecting to see TVS in Europe tbh, but otherwise I quite like your video!
I live in Indonesia, and here, the price and the market situation is completely different compared to Europe or India.
Here, its closest competitors are Yamaha XSR155 (~2200 euro, converted) and SM Master 200 (~2500 euro, converted). TVS Ronin 225 is actually the cheapest (~2000 euro, converted). Forget about the likes of Triumph and Royal Enfield, as they're much more expensive here (Royal Enfield meteor 350 starts at ~6000 euro, converted)
I tried Ronin at my local dealership, I didn't really like its color but I quite like its seating position. However it's too heavy for me (~160kg?) since us Indonesian have smaller stature compared to Indian or European
I was looking into it last year but with me being 5'6" and at 70kgs, am quite lightweight for this one. So went ahead and bought a TVS NTorq scooter. That one has done 7000km in a year and has worked out great for me.
That Meteor 350 pricing is truly absurd. Here in India the price of Ronin is exactly the same as Hunter 350, hence doesn't sell well. No wonder I have only seen 1 Ronin even in Delhi (with a massive population of 33Mn)
@@kushagraN what part of delhi are you in brother because I see atleast 2 on an average daily on MG road alone
@@kushagraN In Indonesia, above 250cc bikes have much higher tax.
TVS is not a small bike company .. They own Norton Motorcycles.. the rolls Royce of motor cycles.
Lol
That's typical of mainly first world citizens. They think big company equals big price tag and vice versa. Hence, the mention of 'small company' and 'cheap price' being mentioned in the same sentence over and over again.
And that's how first world companies operate too! Just see apple!
And produce the 310cc platform used by bmw in their baby G & GS....
@@arcaneglimmerwhat lol? Tvs comes under top 10 biggest bike companies. They also own norton, just waiting for norton's to be back on market.
@@ZLone93256 owning Norton dosent makes great.
Biggest brand ? Even Hero is bigger brand. So what ?
Size dosent matters. Quality and Technology matters. TVS lacks both.
They are good at 100cc commuter. Nothing else.
TVS is huge brand they sell more than 3 million motorcycle and scooters every year, world's 5th biggest motorcycle brand.
Have covered over 7200 kms in 2 years and had no issues so far. It's USP is its comfortable riding dynamics, light clutch, good ground clearance, all led illumiation, sweet sound exhaust and its ability to ride at higher gears at lower speeds particularly in ever increasing traffic conditions in India .
It's great to see TVS dwelve in the EU markets after so much of Royal Enfields ❤
Considering the rising fuel cost and inflation in Europe these motorcycles like Ronin may give a big economical advantage over costly motorcycles . Specially like commuting to office or college or work in the city .
Have owned a Ronin for a year.
Very smooth, comfy, adequate power and torque, light clutch and good brakes.
I have been riding two wheelers for over 35 years.
The Ronin is a good motorcycle if you are a sensible person.
My friend own this. And in simple sentences it’s Jack of all trades and master of none.. but that’s totally fine considering we can’t own multiple bike for different occasions.. we need a bike which can do everything and anything.
My friend the saying is incomplete. It is actually "jack of all trades, Master of none but often times better than master of one"
I got this bike 4 months back. Nice motorcycle. It’s value for money I would say. 👍
Im owning TVS TD variant for 2 years, its really awesome bike, as mentioned Suspension is super smooth and suitable for highways cruise, value for money motorcycle with less maintenance and good customer support ❤️🎉
How is vibration at 90-100..
Did you face any starting problems with the ronin? Like engine cranking but not starting first couple of times and then starting in the third or fourth time?
TVS engines are Absolute Demons when it comes to working under pressure.
Their lower CC mopeds can put Big brands to shame. Heart of the working class of India and Africa.
❤TVS
It will have no issues on bad roads. It was tested on Indian roads.
Ronin means a samurai without a coach it's not a cruiser nor a scrambler it's one of its own
Jack of all, master of none
@@ParanoidDharmasbut often times better than master of one.
I really liked your review style! This sounds like a great city and weekend bike. Can't wait for it to come to Berlin.
Yes sound is too good❤
These bikes are made and tested for the roughest of roads imaginable in South Asia. Small bike, long distances, light on the pickets. Go long, enjoy yhe road: no one needs a big bike to see the world.
Cruising speed 80-100
Decent bike for mountain and hilly rides.
Not ideal for extreme off-roads
u have to stand on pillion foot rest while off-roading .as owner I won't deny it has no good looks but , forgetting that fact it enjoyable at some part.😅
BMW has partnered with TVS to manufacture 310 GS and 310 R for the world
Indian bike reviewed and tested by international youtuber is a kind of proudest thing for TVS 😊
I got the bike when it was launched in India within 1 week. I took a test ride of 3 other bikes before purchasing but the moment I sat on it, I knew that it was the one. It's very comfortable and reliable. Took it to different terrains and it performed on each one of them.
One thing i know for sure is TVS bikes are very reliable compared to royal Enfield.
I just got my license(india) and i am thinking of getting this as my first motorcycle. So far i really like it, but I'll decide after getting a test ride
I got a TVS Ronin this year for regular city usage and it is a fantastic bike. Its an all-rounder with good build quality, good looks as well as good mileage. On average I get around 40 Km/liter in the city and around 50 Km/liter on highways, cruising at around 100 kmph.
For context I have a Ninja 1000SX and a ScorpioN as well
Doesn't tvs Ronin has vibrations post 80kmph and not a good highway tourer as many indian youtubers has pointed out
@@i_am_abhinav I think most TVS bikes have a vibration problem. Also, an older version of royal Enfields. Don't know about the recent one though but I hate it's exhaust sound.
@@i_am_abhinavit is post 100kmph not above 80kmph.
@@vishalkumar-dz9iz ohh...do you own one
@@i_am_abhinavI own one and it doesn't have vibration issues. Recently I did Delhi to Nainital on this and was cruising at 120 on highway
Wow I thought you were an Indian making a video in the Alps
Didn't knew TVS reached Europe
TVS Ronin..... Oh boy...
Damn tvs reached Europe. Lets go🎉🎉
TVS Ronin is not scrambler
Its a city commute and little Cruiser like Hunter350
Not like Himalayan Scrambler 411
It's TVS Ronin, a popular home grown Indian two wheeler brand.
It's not air cooled, it's an oil cooled engine
Both
Built like a tank
I have almost completed 20k with ny ronin i did both city and urban ride best performance i can beat any re 350 cc bikes with this machine best performing bike in this segement .
Ooohh. I have the same color.
using it for last one year. And lemme tell you choosing this bike is one of the best decision of my life.
It cost me around Rs. 2.7 lakhs here in India. At this price i guess no bike provides you adjustable brake leaver and clutch. That slipper clutch really really helps.
Also That GTT helps a lot in traffic jams.
My wife loves the pillion seat. Its nice and comfortable.
And yes it has the capability of mild Off roading.
Your back will thank you thats for sure😅😅.
And the mileage. Thats cheery on the top.
I do bike trips and its a perfect choice. Easily crusies 80-90. Also i rode it at about 127km/h once . I am not a big fan of high speed. But this bike is more capable than you think. Its a wonderful wonderful bike.
❤❤❤
Ronin is a direct combetitor of hunter 350. Just do a comparison video since the price ranges almost same in India( don't know about EU) and also the power is almost similar. Yes for highways like in EU this bike seems underpowered, but if in India this bike is good one with great mileage also
I know it's more expensive, but I'd probably go for the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450.
TVS designers made odd decision choices with this motorcycle,
They stated during launch of this model that it is an amalgamation of different of designs,
◆ Fuel tank that belongs to a Muscle bike (an Intimidating Street fighter bike).
◆ Tyres , Ground clearance and Engine gaurd from a scrabler.
◆ Seating and Foot Pegs position from a cruiser bike.
I really hope that TVS launches it's RTR 310 in EU as it makes good power and it is really well made for touring at 100 kmph to 130kmph.
Holy moly, i havent seen this in Gurgaon yet, and here you are in Europe with a Ronin. Have fun buddy.
Ps.. probably i live under a huge rock..
Small correction, but TVS is from Hosur, not Mysore (I thought I heard you say the latter)
i think Ronin is manufactured in mysore
@@balajimurali interesting, I had no idea
@@atyantabhava345 they have a plant in mysore as well.. nice plant
If Indians are buying this bike according to our roads and streets and doing off roading and highway rides and long rides too, then it's very good choice for EU streets
TVS builds the 310GS for BMW.
A lot of times more reliable than a Royal Enfield (experience). I can take this bike anywhere, as long as there is at least a track I can ride along!
Tvs makes one of the most reliable motorcycles. They are coming in hot, EU. Wait for a few more years for big bikes. Also, Ronin is their most meh product tbh. But its still better than the RE411.
They are not 🚫,
Challing it cheap itself is irony as majority of people buy it on loan emi's
That's because of our income per capita is much lower in India, in most developed countries it's a pretty entry level bike!
Dude, because our average purchase capacity is lesser than other 1st and 2nd world counties.
Because of income per capita but ues it's not cheap for indian in India though
I have been enjoying Ronin for 2 months.
Simple budget friendly -Future tech bike from tvs india.
I like the 90 degree sitting position on Ronin.
Checked out the bike, seems pretty robust.
The features and functionality it offers as compared to the hunter 350 is amazing.
Better suspensions and everything.
TVS is the 3rd largest Motorcycle manufacturer in India their bikes are really comes with good powerful engine bro.
Brother it does not have riding modes.. the modes button is only for the ABS. Rain and urban mode.. in rain the ABS will intervene more and in urban mode there will be less intevention. Actually this makes a lot of sense as in rainy season in India on a slippers road rain ABS mode works perfectly fine. Hope this helps. I think a person who does not have a preconceived notion will be able to judge TVS Ronin better.
Thanks for clearing that up. But I wouldn't say that I had a preconceived notion, although I am for sure used to a different kind of motorcycling, which probably is true for every European rider. But I really liked and appreciated the Ronin for its sturdiness and the pure joy of riding it provided. Cheers, yoyr McGregor ✌️
Ronin is compact , good for daily commute , comfortable seating position for long rides
Tvs is known for reliable engines with low cost maintenance costs in india, because there is 9-10 bike companies in India Tvs is among top 3 because of its reliability.
TVS manufacturers the 310cc bikes from BMW and they have bought Norton Motorcycles recently. They are pretty reliable motorcycles in India.
TVS is a really good company and especially it is the first company in India to take motorsports seriously for the past 30 years albeit with small capacity motorcycles, but it has the pedigree also it is a great company when it comes to fit and finish quality and is the second largest motorcycle manufacturer in India.

Tvs recently acquired Norton motorcycle UK and great things are about to unfold. Europe is actually getting a good option with TVS if they enter the market with large capacity motorcycles.
it is a good bike but it went against RE in pricing and it was beaten badly in India😢
3 Made in India bikes together ❤
Proud Tvs bike owner 😎
Tvs is an indian company.their flagship bike is apache 310 rtr.this bike has heated and cooled seat.its a streetfighter naked bike.
What TVS has reached Europ they recently bought Norton....
Its around 1700 Euros in India, we don't know how lucky we are 😄
TVS in Europe??
Didn't know they got TVS!!😮
3800 Euro with import duty, In India it is much cheaper.
Nice video. Bring good perspective
I have been used ronin from two years it’s a good bike 👍
Scrambler variant is yet to come
❤Love from India 🇮🇳
Shoo shoo Indian roti
😂😂😂@@rumplestilskin223
TVS indian company, gald to see in Europe hope it get successful.
As per my info it's oil cooled also it's made as per india/africa mindset focusing on mileage with decent power.
Build quality is good.
LOLZ, TVS Ronin is in EU ? Its just a city transport in India.
It's not from any unknown brand it's from tvs and it is an Indian brand so if you dont know where it came from just google it first then make any opinions on it
This bike is not made for Off-Roading. Its a cruiser here in India.
I'm a proud TVS apache owner ❤
Lol TVS in Alps ...... I always knew this Ronin is underrated but i would only buy it if they produced its 350cc or 400cc engine. But for now i have gone for Guerilla 450 and i hope it fills in my wishes..
Best decision ever!! This Guerilla 450 will also dominate the market just like Hunter did...Hunter was the winning Flag carrier!!
Wait for 2025 they are comming with bigger engine!! Most probably 335cc or 350cc engine
Dude don't compare cc. This bike rival is hunter 350. I have to say even though this bike got only 225 cc, this bike is better in terms of initials and breaking. Yes Guerrilla 450 is different. It's power is almost 40 bhp and this got only 20 bhp. Offcourse There will be difference in performance. But if you compare hunter and Ronin hunter got top end but Ronin got good initials because both of them comes almost in similar power (around 20bhp)
Tvs is a major bike company
Wow! in India it costs half that price.
Im Proud to be a ronin owner....❤
Its oil cooled, not air cooled
It is air cooled but has small circulating oil cooler. It does not have liquid cooling
@@unscriptedridesexactly, that is what I said it is "oil" cooled not "liquid" cooled...Even in their official website it is mentioned as Oil cooling system with dedicated radiator...
Glad to see indian made bikes in Alps!
Awesome.. TVS so value for money
I don't think that's a scrambler, here it's sold as a city motorcycle with Lil bit of touring ability 😮
Ronin in Alps 😮😮😮
First song please! 🙌🏽🙌🏽😅😅
isnt ronin considered as a cruiser bike in India😭
I dont know why but I am not a fan of TVS, as my experience was not very good with it in past
I own this bike, absolutely sweet
Try Honda CB 350 RS next time...
Try the RR310, now that TVS has launched their products in Italy. Its the original BMW310R. Germans would be in a better place to review. 😊

Its a Scrambler/Cruiser, but no adventure bike, why would you drive to riverbeds and stuff? :D
Europe is now officially have seen inside the honeycomb and you have no idea whats about to hit you guys .... almighty TVS XL is comin to get you 😂😂
The nomenclature 'Scrambler' is about a supposed 'style' or, as you say, "vibes" - it is NOT an Adventure Bike. So, why take it off-road on bad tracks ? Pointless.
The first modified street motorcycles that dominated the offroad endurance races in the 40s and 50s, long before the existence of the first adventure bikes, got named "Scramblers". So even if nowadays most Scramblers are only used for visiting the ice cream parlour and posting stylish pics on Instagram, going offroad is a core part of the Scrambler heritage.
Tvs ronin is good bike. It is indian not chinese.
