                • Cons
                • Jawa 42

                  • The engine has a strong mid range punch and that makes it quite exciting in the city
                  • Sporty handling makes it a lot of fun in the city and out on the highway
                  • The analogue console in the base and mid variants looks gorgeous and there’s nothing like it in this segment

                  TVS Ronin

                  • Top variant is packed with features
                  • Solid build and attention to detail
                  • Strong low-end torque that suits city riding
                  • Comfortable ergonomics for extended journeys
                • Jawa 42

                  • Owners have often reported rusting, paint peeling and parts loosening out over a period of time even with the new Jawas
                  • Spoke wheels in the base variant look gorgeous but have tube tyres, which could make dealing with punctures quite a hassle

                  TVS Ronin

                  • Highway performance
                  • Braking could use more bite
                  • Some design elements don’t blend seamlessly
                  • Doesn’t offer the thrill of TVS’s sportier bikes

                  My Two wheeler
                  Feels like a car in long rides. Mileage is around 30 in long rides. Power is awesome but not like sports bike. I have enjoyed the ride for more than 2 years. Its heavy, stable, very comfortable in long rides. My first bike and a powerful one. This bike attracts people. People will stop by and ask how much does it cost.

                  Daily commute ke liye mast bike
                  TVS Ronin ka look dusri bikes se kaafi alag laga. Mujhe daily office aana-jana hota hai aur kabhi-kabhi long ride bhi karta hu, isliye comfort aur styling dono chahiye the. Test ride ke baad bike ka smooth engine aur riding posture pasand aaya. Ab tak ride ka experience acha raha hai. City traffic me handle karna easy hai aur highway par bhi stable feel hoti hai. Seat comfortable hai, isliye long ride me zyada thakan nahi hoti. Mileage thoda aur better ho sakta tha, lekin overall performance se khush hu. Agar aap apna experience comfortable or behtar karna chahte hai to tvs Ronin le sakte hai. Yadi mileage dekhenge to or dusra option dekh sakte hai. City traffic me bhi handle karna asan hi hai, mujhe jyada pareshani nahi hui.
