TVS
Why choose Apache RTR 160 4V? It’s a sweet spot between commuter and performance bikes: offers enough punch for fun rides, while still practical for everyday use.
TVS Ronin — Neo-Retro Cruiser-Style Street Motorcycle
- Price: Ex-showroom starts around ₹1.24 lakh (or slightly more depending on variant), making it a mid-range option among TVS bikes.
- Positioning & Purpose: Ronin is designed as a neo-retro / roadster-style bike blending classic aesthetics with modern mechanics — suitable for riders interested in style, comfort, and everyday practicality rather than extreme performance.
- Ideal For: Riders who value comfortable rides, good build quality, upright riding posture — suitable for city commuting and relaxed weekend rides rather than aggressive sport riding.
Why choose Ronin? If you want a comfortable, stylish bike with reasonable power and everyday usability — Ronin hits a sweet spot of practicality + looks + comfort.
What to Consider — Quick Buyer’s Perspective
- Budget vs Use-case: If you’re mostly commuting in city and want low maintenance — go for Raider 125. If you want a little more power and flexibility for occasional longer rides — Apache RTR 160 4V is great. For style comfort and casual cruising — Ronin suits well.
- Performance vs Fuel Efficiency: Commuter-oriented bikes like Raider deliver better mileage but less punch. Apache offers a balanced trade-off. Ronin gives comfort & practicality over outright sportiness.
- Maintenance & Practicality: All three are from the same manufacturer, which helps with spare parts availability and service network. Choose based on how you intend to use the bike most often.
