- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2022
- When it comes to lifestyle motorcycles, Royal Enfield is the king of the segment. But as you can see with their new range of products, prices have risen rapidly. To arrest this slide, Royal Enfield launched Hunter 350, its most affordable modern motorcycle. At the opposite end of the spectrum, TVS entered this space with the Ronin. Both these motorcycles have the same target audience but take a different approach. Royal Enfield as expected is more traditional with the Hunter 350, while TVS has gone more radical and modern with the Ronin. In this comparison video, we try to find which bike is better or rather are they two distinct motorcycles targeted toward different riders? Watch the video to find out.

Tested both bikes last month, n finally brought ronin home
How is Ronin for city traffic? Is it easy to handle?
@@srikrishna_97fine, nothing hard. Clutch is light, you don't need to play on throttle as you can make use of Glide through technology. Clutch n brake levers are adjustable for reach.
@@shreyaskr3001 what about the weight? Is it tough to balance in slow traffic?
@@srikrishna_97 for me, it doesn't even seems to be heavy. Better take a test ride n see does it suits you
@@shreyaskr3001 Ya, intend to take for a test ride
Been 12 days I got my hunter 350, i was confused between dominar 400, duke 390, and Apache rr310 and then suddenly hunter 350 was launched (never been a RE fan, well I was unaware of the upcoming RE bikes), first look made me fall for it so hard, damn looked like Triumph Street twin and Benelli leoncino 500 combined and with this amazing price tag. Hunter got looks, better engine, amazing brakes. On the very first week I went for a 2 days ride of 428 kms from Assam to Meghalaya, rode through all the terrains, handled so well in rain, off roads and the lastly the twisties and cornering (gave me ridegasms). I am gonna keep this bike forever. And the mileage was off the charts, unexpected of 39kmpl.
I managed a whopping 41.13 kmpl (full tank to low fuel lamp) on my Meteor during a 3 day ride from Kolkata to Jampshedpur-Ranchi and back. And yes, I maintained speeds of 90-95 kmph for prolonged durations like 40 mins continuously, but avoided brisk acceleration. I can absolutely trust your 39 kmpl as the new J series engine is capable to give such numbers, if not going for flat out acceleration.
Congratulations for your new bike...🙂🙂
Congrats
Bro why you didn't go for dominar 400???? It was an amazing bike saying from my experience
Bro is hunter's clearance not give problem in Assam as there are many potholes and huge speed breakers. Please reply as I also need to be sure before buying it
@@boleroscorpiosafarisumo I doubt him bro...he told he had dominar,duke390&rr310 in list Wich cost like 3L+ but he chose to go with RE Hunter.
Which fool will opt for Hunter when having that budget he could have also gone for GT.
I believe he has brought Hunter but not having these bikes in his list 😂😂
Having ridden both , I feel Ronin is the clear choice . The performance , the torque , the comfort and everything feels in place. I loved the bike , might book one soon. And about hunter 350, it’s a nice bike but feels incomplete and crude. Could have been better.
Ronin ❤
True
No Bike are perfect, they've pros and cons . But being a TVS compered with RE its a new era for TVS. They are moving you know they are uprising.
WOoooohhhh well said!!!!
Ronin is real king in this segment and here are problems we face royal enfield bike after some time th-cam.com/video/LcfWVIk_B5Q/w-d-xo.html
Sales figure comparison of ronin and hunter will convey which is better as for September 22 hunter is winning
@@nirmalaganapathy9568 ronin sales figures are not out yet … how you can say hunter is winning??
@@nirmalaganapathy9568 Of course Hunter will win. People like RE look and feel. It has nothing to do with which bike is better.
11:47 Its been almost one month since I bought Ronin and clocked 1500 kms on it, so far so good, didn't get any fuse blow out issues. I do agree there are vibes in ronin but for me who came from a 100cc bike didn't bothered me much. I feel overall ronin offered better hardware quality and better ride quality compared to hunter and I'm fully satisfied with my purchase.
Hi bro which variant you brought
yeah man , this video felt like an RE paid promotionn to bash Ronin
Bro in Ronin which variant you brought
@@vivekg8667 Top model Galactic grey bro
@@sandeepnag5180 I too felt that, I also surprised how the hunter gives 40 kmpl. My friend's meteor gives 28-30kmpl and My ronin returns 38-41kmpl.
Ronin is my pick, because of it's fully loaded features, reliable TVS engine - low on maintenance in comparison with RE. The exhaust note of Ronin is awesome. My 2nd option would be Dominar 250, Hunter will be 3rd Option.
Tvs engine reliable ? From when ?
@@Dare-Knight compared to RE’s engine TVS engines are reliable
I have 4 TVS bikes from last 10 years
Tvs is better in many ways then RE when comes in reliability and build
@@Dare-Knightnwwwiiinwvooopi
Here's a big problem with these kind of biased comparisons. On almost all fronts, ronin is a better bike but you chose to go with hunter. Most people care about quality, reliability, and durability instead of feel. This is evident from sales numbers, so it is incorrect just to evaluate things from a RE fanboy perspective. This is the reason why people are also looking for reviews from new experts on the block as mainstream channels have become promotion platforms and so-called experts share opinion instead of facts - can't be trusted anymore.
Hahah decide for yourself then. If you think Ronin is the better bike then go for it. Overall hunter is more appealing to a larger no of riders.
This is true. Ronin is much better on almost all aspects over hunter.
@@vaibhavkaushik2966 bro u answered his question, anchor ko positive and negative batane chahiye na ki unke khud ka taste, they both love RE bikes and can't accept something new. Clearly shown on their faces and for sure that's not comparison
Debroy bhai sahi bol raha hai
They even don't felt important to tell in the video, how many useful features Ronin has.
I am having both, but Ronin steals the show every day with its ride quality and that amazing Exhaust.
Having driven both, what I can confidently say is that Ronin definitely needed to look better, have a better geometry that’s a proper roadster than a mishmash. Also, they needed to space out their variants more competitively, as there’s practically nothing differentiating the base and middle variants except colours. Dual channel ABS should have been standard in middle and top, while the top could’ve had the fancy features. And please, better colours on the top end. The current ones look terrible. Sure, the handling was incredibly easy, I’ll give it that.
What Hunter has, is absolutely spiffing looks, good geometry, engine that rides better. It does not handle as well as the ronin, and could’ve done with a lot better ground clearance.
The Ronin is on the back foot simply because it’s designed differently, and the colours do nothing to make it appealing. Oh, I forgot the tacky looking DRL. That’s not easy for ppl to live with on a daily basis. And that’s why I went for the Hunter.
Agreed 👍 but i think design of hunter is not that appealing especially the tank its quite too thin compared to competition or may be we have seen so beautiful bikes like meteors jawas yezdis etc so it’s getting difficult to call it a great looking motorcycle.
Hunter sounds like a tractor. Its handling is terrible. Drives like a pig. Ronin looks grow on you with time truly hunter looks more proportionate and safe. Though i won't buy any of these 2 bikes. But I'd prefer the ronin.
@@manthenvashishth3769 drives like a pig 😂😂😂😂
Never thought I'd read something like that.
Although have you ever ridden a pig?
Ronin 🔥🔥
@@akashlalwani02 Yeah I dnt like hunter look either. It looks premium bcz of its colours only
I'm 5'8 and I have the same Rebel Blue Hunter. I do stay in Hyderabad and it's been pouring since last week.
I've been into many potholes and many wide speed breaker, hunter passed this test seamlessly.
At first I was a bit terrified about the ground clearance, but after riding I got a confidance that yes, we can take this bike on wide speed breakers and potholes.
I rode this on downhill areas too and it was effortless. One thing is that we need to slow down and move steadily at bumps and potholes. That's the main point here.
Bro does this bike look small on you like even I'm 5'8 so have this doubt and many told me this bike is compact and looks small
@@pranavjadhav2872 Yes, it does look a little bit small, even Ronnin is the same. But if you lean slight forward you can minimise that.
The good thing in hunter is that once you add those Bar End Mirrors it'll make the bike more bulkier. So if you're a little bit tall it doesn't matter, coz the mirror will blend you.
Bro how about mileage?
@@santhu3386 for now it's 33kmpl, I'll be hitting 500kms soon. Probably after 1st service there may be a slight change. My speed is no more than 60. So I'm expecting it to be around 35-36kmpl.
But what my friend told is that, for RE engines how ever you drive you'll get the same milege 😑
whats the waiting time for hunter in hyd?
I am 20 but root for retro motorcycles and hunter looks and rides perfectly. I find ronin to be out of proportion specifically from the back. Above all that 350 cc engine is pure gem 💎
Exactly the rear could have been more better
Haan toh tum abhi bacchey ho na
@@abhishekbanerjee6960 teenager hoke bhi itna smjh hai ki fancy colors aur gimmicky features ke peeche bhagna is senseless. Glad i have a mature taste in motorcycles unlike some wannabee enthusiasts like you 👍🏻
@@shariquemisbah3913 nice reply
@@shariquemisbah3913 USD forks, Monoshock absorber, slipper clutch, GTT aren't gimmicky. They're called premium kid. RE fanboys won't admit but Ronin is just a better bike. Hunter only has more torque and RE look and feel. Though if someone want real RE look and feel they they'll surely go for Classic 350. Ronin just handles better, easy to navigate through traffic, more comfortable and low maintenance bike. It's just better in most fronts.
Clearly the man with Orange Juice is hugeeeee RE fan. He has completely biased opinions throughout the video. 😂 Loved the way the left guy pointed more logical points instead.
This is the video I was waiting for. Thanks.
Sad that both of them opted RE just cause they couldn't accept something different in that segment.
RE pays
Sad that the Ronin looks like shit though
@@frazerasokan2912 hunter looks even worse imo especially with the open wirings. It doesn't aspire to be anything.
Ronin can still be modified to a better look.
That's not right man.....
Both bikes has their own character and feel.I experienced both bikes.
For me Hunter is more engaging and enjoying.....Ronin has its own feel and character in a good way but Hunter is overall better buy..
@@byavarsi sorry, ronin cannot be modified as easily by the average consumer actually buying that bike. Whereas the Hunter actually can be done.

How can ronin be better in everything but then suddenly RE wins
First the bs with 160 video and now with RE.
The 160 video was clearly like full of misinformation
Better in everything? Did you even watch the video?
It's just better to buy a RTR 200.
Ronin was weird long before Hunter was launched. People expected Zeppelin Cruiser but instead got whatever the hell Ronin is. They could have taken inspiration from Avenger 220 and made a better cruiser. But they decided that they needed to beat the Bullet and maybe Hero Xpulse and made something that is neither a cruiser nor a scrambler and has a big T in the headlight.
Turning Zeppelin concept into Ronin was a big let down.
Thats what i was thinking , 😆
@@BharatJusta sir, my intestines do hurt while I can't stop laughing at your sassy description "has a big T in the headlight".... 🤣🤣
Indeed the manufacturers are going absolutely nuts with the headlight styling. Who knows Bajaj or Suzuki may be working to place their brand logos on headlight while still maintaining an acceptable beam pattern...?
@@aakashchoudhuri RE, Triumph, BMW are already doing that but in a good way. You can see BMW branding on G310GS in headlight done pretty well and Triumph and RE have those little branded bulb caps.
TVS just followed the stuff going on in modding community and took inspiration from those absurd "BOSS" or "-" headlights available for RE bikes and Mahindra Thar.
I just got the hunter today. I am so excited I can't even sleep.
hv fun. ride safe. 😃
What's your waiting period ?
@@nutashkotwal8955 Around 20 days, but I got lucky. It was canceled by someone and I got it instead.
I was thinking of going for one between these two.. but the power figures are just so disappointing. So what I did was remove the headlight assembly of my 12 years old Karizma and replaced it with a round headlight with LED. Also removed those plasticy half fairing. Looks much better now! Money also saved.
For interceptor!!!
🤣🤣
Ronin gives very good comfort. Awesome bike
I bought ronin and I can tell you no other bike can give you this comfort and features at this price range period! RE Brand name won’t protect you from back pain but ronin would 🤣
Also some guys did a drag race between the two and Ronin destroyed Hunter in terms of pick up. Hunter could only beat it in the top speed department (>130), which obviously normal riders don't find themselves riding it.
agree there but the aesthetics will get you the "wth is he riding" look
Happy with my Ronin 💗
If u want comfortable motorcycle and peppy performance ... Good engine refinement..less maintanence.... Then never go for hunter...Ronin is best choice....it's too good...i own it .....and 100kmph is just more than enough for long Highway rides...
Better in terms of specs but looks like shit. TVS could have done better with the styling at least.
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get..
Ronin is value for money compared to hunter...
Lol
You clearly lack knowledge on bikes and its offerings, as per manufacturers
If TVS made a roadster or a scrambler on the Ronin's platform, that would be the clear choice. As things stand currently, I would go for one of the Japanese "sporty" commuters at this price. Stretch the budget a little higher and the CB350 is miles ahead of RE's at sea level.
First I planned to buy Hunter. At the end, I go for Ronin.
Yaar, why so much of RE promotion....
This is Bajaj wheels channel
Paisa hi paisa 🤣😜😜
But in the entire comparison u spoke better about Ronin and then both of u opted for Hunter... little strange 🤔
If TVS can bring in Ronin then they can also introduce good bikes in the future. So thinking only RE will give a buyer the full range of bike experience if he wants to upgrade is not correct.
If you didn't know that's the theme of this channel
What would be a good tyre to swap to on the Hunter 350??
TVS RONIN U TURN Radius is a bit wider, than everyone could expect. Don't fill up the fuel TANK full, i have done it & was forced to use side stand, fuel leakage was found.
Thank you so much you guys for this review. I was considering to sell my Meteor 350 to buy the Ronin ( recenrly arrived to Colombia ) in order to get a plushier yet still cruiser like bike, but from your opinions and tested expirience on vibrations and limited speed while cruising, I think i'll try some Hunter springs for my beatiful and Rock' n Rollie looking Meteor
I am using my Ronin for more than a month, It's an amazing bike in all aspects , Did not find any shortcoming , Yet to try on highway
Please try it in highway....Try to cruise it at higher speed... And please reply your experience to this comment... Because I'm planning to buy Ronin... This is my request.
Please do it as soon as possible bro...
@@gunasekarb3100 buy cb350 rs :) 30k more than ronin
As usual great content. Please let us know which tyres u would chose to swap it with Hunter.
How does the Hunter compare to the dominar 250 in you opinion. Considering the weight is similar and both engines are tuned for torque and midrange.
On so many points the Ronin was a clear winner, the ride quality , quick acceleration, technology on offer, tyres, and basically the connect with bike. Which the Hunter lacks.
Only part where the Ronin looks a little underpowered is at higher speeds, and that is logical since it has a smaller engine.
Looking at all this the Ronin is a clear winner
that's what left me spellbound. Like what just happened? 😂
Go for ronin if you're looking for a comfortable ride. Front USD fork and Monosuspension does it job well. Dual ABS on top models with cool colors makes the head turner. GTT on city rides gives a more relaxed mode of ride. When we think about service after sales we have no other choice, just go for ronin
Lol who cares about the colours and vibes and feel!! Its about performance, efficiency, reliability. 4 fuses in a gap of few hours!! I would have returned it to the showroom, and say a big thank you to TVS
On point verdict!👍
Honestly we can talk about as much as we want about commuting , and other things in the end , the people who prefer to buy a bike with a bigger engine will not look at any of the stuff.. . Because we have seen people buying RE bikes with just basic tachometer and no abs and any of the fancy stuff.
I own a ronin for around a month and half and have driven it 1800km and hasn't faced any of those problem
Bro mileage?
Enjoy bro , this was a biased comparison,
@@santhu3386 traffic me 35-40 and highway pe 42 -45 depending upon speed
@@sandeepnag5180 trueee as i feel the seats are way more comfortable on Ronin amd the vibrations kick in after 7 k rpm and in 5th ypu can easily cruise on 100 -110
I just got my ronin after testing both . Just becz I thought hunter was a bit shaky and ronin was smoother in my opinion and also my father found it easier to drive which was very imp to me mileage and features do add to it .
Ngl people turn their heads when i pass bcz in Kolkata i havent seen alot of ronins maybe soon haha . Both of them are amazing bikes great video a bit late tho
Ronin has better parts and finish.
@@shadow_realm47 i agree
Bro is it comfortable for elders ? I mean i was looking for RE classic 350 for my dad but i felt that BS6 version of classic 350 has lost that power now it doesn't feels like RE anymore i have hornet 2.0 my dad not feel comfortable while riding it is Ronin ok for them ?
Ronin is comfortable for my father too ...we both did test drive of two vehicles....
Just test rode ronin. Hunter and cb350rs. Also meteor. I liked meteor more than hunter. But cb350rs was the best. More torque. More power. Also more comfort
Thank you guys for recording in english for viewers from EU
on, July I bought my bike Xpulse, at first I was looking to buy rtr 200, but they said it will take 2-3 months to come in stock!
then at that time, I enquire about ronin, tvs again said they have no fixed time when it will arrive in showrooms, may again take 2-3 months! I didn't enquire about Hunter and also felt it will be in the 2 lacs+ range!
and finally after considering all the things I went for xpulse 🙌
When you lack the intelligence to at least put of a thin layer of reason over your very discernible bias.
My friend owns a Classic 350 and he once tried hunter while he was servicing his vehicle and he just didn't liked the bike like he just didn't got the vibes from the bike like other RE bikes and he also mentioned that servicing and maintenance is also major part while buying a bike.
So choose wisely and test ride both the bikes and looks are subjective
Most guys miss the foot peg position.A middle and rear set foot pegs a pain in the....during city commute.Here Winner Ronin.
RE Hunter 40 Kmpl ???? Hard to digest .
It's all in paper. Not practical
Yeah... I have Hunter and gaining 34-35 kmpl.
But Hunter is something that I have been looking for 2-3 years. I always wanted a lightweight, easy to handle Royal Enfield.
Now I own a Royal Enfield 🛐💙
yes... got 36 kmpl
I just loves how reviews step up with videography & presentation.
What tyres would you suggest for hunter??
TVS shouldn't have gone so jazzy with the headlights. That "T" should've been cleaner if they wanted to go in that direction. A simple, clean headlight would've increased the face value of an otherwise quirky and intresting package. Good review, guys!
Try to give neutral review. Is that really vibration at 80kmph... !!! :/
RE hunter has only one issue i.e low ground clearance which is responsible for stiff suspension setup. Anyway i will still prefer hunter over ronin just bcoz it look absolute gorgeous, has good low end and distinctive exhaust note. Ronin isn't bad either but somewhat let down due to styling and engine could be bigger anywhere to 300cc.
Uhh, no... It's not just the ground clearance, but also the cooling tech, or rather the lack of it! The Hunter should also have had oil-cooling in it. As it is now, it will heat up in city traffic very easily.
If the Ronin had 300 CC with this engine tune it'd be making 10 PS more than almost all RE bikes except the 650 Twins. There'd be no comparison
Ronin is clear winner. Its a 225cc bike. Nobody expects it to ride at 120 130 on highways. Greater acceleration whether 0to60 or 100 than hunter. That says everything. More features. Stylish looks. Only one con I can say is that it is launched against royal enfield. Which is like bollywood movie launched against tollywood.
Honestly, I've been confused between these two including some others like the RTR 200 4v as well as the MT-15 v2.
Please do a massive comparison of "one bike in your garage" by including these bikes as well as some more if possible like the NS200, N160/250, Hornet 2.0 and maybe a Gixxer. I've been eyeing the MT-15 for a very long time since it can do a lot while being very efficient.
if u spend 20k more you will get significantly better motorcycle the Gixxer 250. Very underrated bike. Mt15 is also nice but it doesn't worth the price tag it's carrying.
Hunter 350 - Design is awesome, Vibe free, very reliable, awesome service
MT15 - Design is unique and awesome, extremely vibe free, very reliable, moderate service
Gixxer 250 - okish design, vibe free, awesome performance, awesome handling (150 section tyre rear and 110 at front), okish service.
Go for MT-15 only if you already have it in your heart, for every other reason go with the 200 4v, the later is a better package in that price range, plus you would feel the different in throttle response immediately in day to day rides.
If you are open to other bikes then try Hunter and if you can stretch your budget to another 40-50k then check Gixxer 250 and Honda CB 350 RS. They will keep you contend for next 4-5 years. With MT-15 you might get bored soon.
I am going through the same process right now. So at the end which bike did you pick? Really would want to know your thoughts and opinions
@@harshitgupta1213 I kept that plan for later since my parents weren't convinced on me getting a geared bike thanks to all the accidents that happen (directly or indirectly). Still using my Activa 6G until the time for upgrade comes.
But I'll be honest, if I'd need a bike for proper long term use I'll get the MT-15 due to its reliability, decent performance and mileage and ease of use in the city and random rural rides. If VFM is your priority choose the RTR, Xtreme or Pulsar.
However, try to research and see if you'd need to wait considering that the segment was a bit quiet and might get something new soon.
I would love to go with Ronin, RE lags here a bit, it's clear.
Hey Arun. I have the same T shirt. One of my favourites. 😊👍🏼
Nice review btw.
What vibes on the Ronin?
I rode both back to back and my observation regarding the performance were quite different. The Ronin I rode lurched forward as soon as dumped the clutch, it felt so much powerful, but that feeling died down immediately and it hardly felt peppy after first 10 meters, it felt meh for rest of the ride. The Hunter felt so much better in terms of how it felt when riding. P.S. i am not a journo and look for 0-100 times. This was just casual ride in the city and Hunter felt so so much better. And I was looking at the speedo, may be Ronin was faster but it didnt excite me in the least bit and the styling just doesn't work for me. Ronin on the other hand is like a confused sperm IMO. There are beautiful bikes that we refer to as 'She/her' and then are bikes that call to be addressed as 'he/him'. In all this, Ronin tries to be 'they/them'. Is it wrong? well... no, but will it work in its favour? IMO, not particularly, not always. TVS did the same mistake Honda did. They benchmarked RE and tried to be similar and failed. They should have gone for better cuz we all know both bike makers surely have high potential of making brilliant bikes.
If I had to gun to my head and I had to choose between the two, it would blindly go with the Hunter. If not, i would save lil more and buy something better than these two.
Hahah nice analogy dude 😂😂
Btw Honda 350 is better than both of these bikes. But yeah hunter is more vfm
Honda is very different , though paper specs are similar to RE 350 bikes but at actuals it's very very different .
I think posture on hunter is not very comfortable. Whereas ronin is great in that.
@@Tumbinmain2 Its more to do with the handle bar I think, if one likes the bikea simple swap can vastly improve that. Again, my personal opinion.
@@vikasshelke5544 I haven't ridden one yet, so i cant say. But what I am saying is, Honda could have made it vastly better than just better.
What about Yamaha FZ25 vs TVS Ronin!! I think engine capacity and performance wise it would be fair comparision..(except for the design part)
@somethings The XSR will come here, but compared to Ronin, it'll be fairly inferior! The XSR 155 won't even have dual channel ABS in it!
Fz25 is a time tested and proven motorcycle with good mileage, stability and most importantly reliability. It may not have fancy techs but it's a fantastic go everywhere motorcycle
@@sunildutta7665 true that,,just dnt know why Yamaha dnt implement R15 digital console, 6th gear and bit 4-5 more horses to it...I think after 5 years of launch its a fair ask to Yamaha..FZ25 deserves upgrades rather than updates..
@@abhijeetmahajan9 FZ 25 is a very underrated bike. For the price it is one of the most vfm motorcycle. In india people's first priority is design that's why people prefer the r15, mt15 and ktms over the extremely practical and vfm motorcycle like the fz 25 and gixxer 250.
@@shyam5631 its a terrific engine for sure..... When it debuted, it was one of the bikes that I craved for....... Now it's stuck in a sea of bikes with no identity, looks shit as well now......... Worst console in the market, might as well have an analogue one than that...... Incredibly heavy, and tough to maneuver......... Only thing standing out is the engine........
I hope they update the bike in a more comprehensive manner
Yamaha dues not want to do that because it fears that R15 and MT-15 will lose their sales numbers
I believe it’s time RE concentrate on twin cylinder only bikes, 350cc single cylinder with worthless power, isn’t going to help much, well it helped because other companies were busy with scooter releases and doing catching up, but now that the Ronin is here and Keeway entering though a lot pricy, RE should up the game.
Living in lala land?
@@SuperImbadude Also not living in the 70s, these 350cc from RE are prehistoric.
RE is already working on 650cc cruiser and bobber, and sales wise Hunter is already doing well.
I haven't seen a single Ronin on road till now but Hunters are already heading up to Himalayan adventures.
@@aviroopdas400 companies are here for money and profit, not to pander to your whims. 350 is cheap and bulk of sales, look around you it is common as Activa. Anyways future is electric not ICE
@@SuperImbadude The Dominar has a powerful 400cc engine, what if Bajaj decides to use the same to build a classic, or what if tvs does the same, also I would take a powerful electric bike any day, I want to upgrade from my 250cc Yamaha, and I need more power, my only option it seems is the Interceptor 650cc, needed a Hunter 650, but we got Hunter 350, it is us who should be blamed, as we are all happy with these bikes.
If instrument cluster of Ronin is put lower, it will looks better.
Cool comparison
LOL... how many of you observed this.. as the video progresses.. the drinks in the glasses were slowly disappearing .. but these guys never seem to have a sip either!
Bro you are James Bond, so smart🐽
@@flexiwing4450 🤣
Ronin a frst try by tvs in the segment and they almost nailed it ..if compared to hunter Ronin anyday
Mileage?
An absolutely amazing comparison. I have been eyeing for hunter since its launch and have watched 50s of video but this one beats them all. Cheers to you guys
Cb 350 highness vs 350 rs vs ronin vs hunter vs cb 200x which is best? Pl help
I own classic 350 and on my recommendation my friend also bought 350 but later after 2 years seeing lack of practicality he sold and bought ronin..
First i criticized him
Its way way way better than classic.
Better stability, pick up, mileage, turning radius, and features.
I will now exchange and buy Ronin after being a RE owner of 2 different RE since 2012
I think you forgot to mention,
"This video is sponsored by RE - The Cycle Brand"
😅😆✔Good Video Brothers. =Now A Much Needed Video On You Both Travelling Togather On Hunter For Atleast 100kms With Very Small Luggage✔🤣😆
Very helpful 👍 bro
So are you going to totally ignore the features ronnin offer? And you guys really trying to convince us that ronnin has more vibrations than a royal Enfield bike? Promotion ki bhi hadd h bhai
Waiting for YEZDI ROADKING if it ever gets relaunched.
Mileages of both??
I have decided. I am not buying any of these two. 😂😂 I was so much into hunter, i think still i am into it, but i guess may get a Gixxer250 or may be a cb350.
Get a test ride man!
Both these bikes surprised me!
Also tbh I don't care about the "quirky" look TVS!
I love it either ways!
Have the buget get cb 350 rs
Both Japanese are very expensive you just cannot afford
Please compare Avenger 220 and TVS Ronin.
Ronin has full digital speedometer, oil cooled engine, slipper clutch, LED lights, better suspension, more ground clearance but is terribly proportional. Front looks macho but as soon as you move further, it looks like part of macho body is missing. Plus seat n position is comfortable but seat is too small.
Hunter looks perfectly proportioned but wish seat length was 3-4 inches more as it’s strictly two people bike and even toddler will have hard time fitting in between. Engine boils. Suspension is just too hard, low ground clearance. Yet, color schemes n all makes hunter look better.
WHy should there be any heating issues with the hunter.. It has the same engine as the meteor and people have had zero issues with the engine in the meteor..
THe weight of the enfield comes from the engine materials.. I guess the larger Honda Cb350RS weighs 179 with 15 liter tank weighs 179kg with the same fat tires.. has an engine made of lighter alloys.. THe J series engine is a big lump of iron. The pathetic part of the hunter 350 is the 0-100 time,, over 15 seconds.. The Honda CB350RS can do it in 12 seconds. The Honda engine is a gem. Frugal and powerful (30Nm at just 3000 rpm).. Just a shame the honda chose to have such a tall gearing for a long stroke engine.
@@andersbarfodsvaneskolan9378 it’s differently tuned but whatever the reason there may be, it boils. Service center said it will improve after service but as of now, hot is a small word, you can boil an egg on it.
13:51 if I had to pick between these two I would pick the hunter because i am a RE fan buoy
TVS ronin 225 is better motorcycle for indians because of it's low kerb weight, Slipper Clutch, Style, Performance, 225CC with 135 KM Speed and Good looking Colours and above all it's more fashionable than any other Retro looking motorcycles
The fuses blew out. Never have I seen such direct complains of test bikes of RE. The truth is, every week I see some RE rider stranded on the road because their bike won’t start.
Thank you sir 😍🤩
These big channel's biasness is answered in their own comment section. This video confuses people bcos both of the anchor told only negatives of Ronin and positive of Hunter. Clearly they hate Ronin. Evn PD Goa Ronin video Shumi was behaving like he has some serious hatred for the Ronin.
Any one onow mileage in ronnin and hunter??
Hands down ronin is a better bike bw hunter and ronin. I am debating bw highness and ronin.
Test rode re hunter Hooda higness , and ronin
I guess its hunter which is confused not ronin.
I have not a tall person but i found hunter riding stance uncomfortable because its neither sports or relaxed stance
I have owned cd 100 splendor r15 and re classic 350 .
Hunter doesn’t cater even re fan boys or beginners and on road hunter looks so small it does not turn heads. If u want re i suggest scram 411 especially if u are tall and well built . Scram 411 has best pillion comfort and good ride comfort
Where is the logic?
If both are built for city commutes mostly, then how can u say, the winner is the one performing good on highways.
Now it's Bajaj time to give the avenger a hevy updated to compete against ronin and hunter
This review is unfair to Ronin. You're not comparing Ronin to entire Royal Enfield line up. You're comparing Ronin to Hunter. RE legacy and brand values are irrelevant to the viewer of this video because brand fanbois are already buying hunter. They'd buy it even if Ronin is better in every single aspect. Your job was to give technical revelations (which you gave amply), not talking about brand value which is subjective. (For example in my town, most RE riders are milkmen who are also part time criminals. For us, RE has negative brand value.)
Ronin is real king in this segment and here are problems we face royal enfield bike after some time th-cam.com/video/LcfWVIk_B5Q/w-d-xo.html
As a senior citizen who bought a REH in 2016, and dropped the bike a few times, I was drawn to the Ronin about 40 kg lower or 20 kg lower than Hunter. Having watched your video and a few others, it would be prudent to wait a year till all the niggling issues are resolved after 60,000 guinea pigs overcome them ! And if one wants to buy a bike immediately I think an RTR 200 or an Gixxer 250 or similar proven workhorses makes sense.
Ronin did tick all the boxes in your review, but why the conclusion Hunter.., Any reason... Biased towards RE since it is RE
Cb350 the best in 350cc segment
Off course but people innIndia will buy RE because they are so poor
@@vikasshelke5544 lack of big wing ..biggest let down
The comments section make me realise that royal Enfield is the Apple of bikes.
September sales of tvs have not improved significantly YOY, but RE has a 145% rise
Is it the correct time to book the interceptor or should we wait for new launches in the coming months? 🤔
The Interceptor is a proven platform.... And RE is notorious to delay new launches. So if you are the experimenting type who can live with the risk of owning a new design which may have initial niggles to sort..... It's best to wait. On the other hand if you are looking for a proven great bike then why wait? Also it's not like the engine will be new.... This argument also works for and against both ways..... Depending on who you are as a biker.
I can tell you this.....if I were to make the choice.... I'd go with the Interceptor.... It's tough to better that in a long time
@@tanmayhaldar7565 Thanks for your suggestion really! I thought I’ll wait for RE to launch a new version of interceptor with minor updates like including the tripper module and optional alloy wheels maybe but not sure if any update like this is coming soon or not, that’s why the confusion.
@@suryasarkar9681 OK.... You mean a "facelift" or a glow up for the Interceptor and not the Supermeteor or Shotgun.... I believe ask around the RE showroom guys.... I have not heard lany buzz around any think like thalt
No much word on slipper clutch adjustable levers. Gtt, how hunter is good when the clutch suspension and lool are outdated like halogen lights.dual suspension at back.
They are just putting their choice and they are RE fan so they don't disgest Ronin to be better
I took test drive of both hunter and Ronin. But ronin is much better in acceleration. And the sound is better too. I think it's much better than hunter after test drive. Obviously hunter looks better according for me
By seeing the comparison, the jaws bikes crying in corners
Grow up children, do not cut off each other in the middle. Allow each one to complete their thought flow
Hunter can be ridden in highways as well as city
Robin is meant only for cities
Hey I ride my Apache in highways
In TH-cam:- RONIN
In showroom/ heart :- hunter 350(always)😎😎
Unfortunately, I just can’t digest the way the tank looks! However, I love how TVS is so confident with its products.
For a commuter why buy a 225 cc tvs just buy a hero and save on gas , hunter is superbly worth it
Add Honda CB350 to the equation and suddenly everything said in the discussion swings in just one obvious direction
TVS Ronin look different when seen in person.
Specially from the side
And from the back, it looks like someone kicked it's butt hard!!
If only the hunter had a little more tech and a little better fuel efficiency.
Anyday... Hunter is better option with few short coming
