                  Good bike for youngsters
                  Good handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.

                  Excellent bike
                  My pulsar NS 160 is still in excellent condition with all documents and riding experience is awesome and bike is also fast and reliable. It also offers dual channel Abs and it has less maintenance cost and it gives immense pleasure to ride. Bike mileage is about 40 kmpl and full tank costs nearly 1k only and this is the best bike, I have ever rode in my life.

                  good bike but need some improvements.
                  The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.

                  Review of my 6 years old NS160
                  I got this bike when i was 18 back in 2019, after almost 6 plus years and 30 thousand kilometres. I personally see this bike as the best value for money one can get. Apart from that this bike is still relevant after all these years. The one thing i like the most about this vehicle is its handling. If maintained well this bike gives a smooth and comfortable ride be it in city or highway. Mine is twin disc variant with single channel ABS, break bite is quick enough to react in emergency breaking situations. The only con I have noticed so far is bajaj's parts durability. Though they offer parts at cheaper rates comparatively but still it becomes a headache when you need to replace them more often. Will recommend this bike any day. For me this is a perfect package of commuter, adventure, long riding basically everything. I have done 500 kms in a single day stopped at every 100 kms for nearly 30 mins and the bike performed very well. This is a perfect bike for those who look for a all-rounder bike with low maintenance.

Ride smoothly in 1st and second gear, it will give you the best performance 3rd gear onwards and will return great efficiency. Purchase experience was kinda hassle free but not fully cause had to wait more than 1 month.

                  Best comfortable and low cost. Best cruiser bike, good mileage around 43 kmpl, low cost of maintenance, any other complaints about engine or other. I love so much ronin. Thanks to TVS motor company for make this bike. I recommend to others to buy this product from TVS showroom. Overall, experience has been very good, the riding comfort is excellent for both city and long ride, engine performance is smooth, mileage is decent, service experience also satisfactory with low maintenance cost, worth buying for daily use, mileage is decent, looks are stylish, handling is also impressive. Excellent bike. It is so smooth and comfortable to ride in the city as well as on the highways. Changing gears feels so smooth. The mileage I got is around 43 kmpl. Till now no complaint, its truly worth it. Its also budget friendly. I got on road price at Thoothukudi. I highly suggest buying this bike in base model full black.

                  I am riding this bike and it gives me the best and beast experience. Mileage is better than other bikes as I fill the tank only two times in one month so you don't need to fill the petrol daily. TVS ronin gives better performance on highway. Bike's top speed is 120kmph and stability was absolutely greater than other bike.

                  Ronin - the affordable cruiser with best features
                  I bought it last year in 2025, I liked the look and feel of the bike, I compared this with RE and all after having test drive, I felt this ronin has less vibrations, so I liked overall, and it was under my budget too. From day to day ride experience, the good straight posture, wide handlebar and adjustable mirror also the comfortable seat, in city traffic felt less stress on wrist, also the comfort as a pillion is awesome. But if you are above 6ft, maybe you want more legroom. I would say, for daily commuters, beginners, weekend riders, people choosing a bike more than 200cc for the first time, must go for this bike, you will feel a good suspension experience and smooth engine too. This bike encourages relaxed riding.
