Overview

Are you looking for a retro-styled motorcycle that can handle weekday traffic without feeling like a basic commuter? The TVS Ronin uses a 225.9 cc single-cylinder engine, a 795 mm seat and an upright layout. The Ronin first launched in 2022. Sri Lanka officially received the Top variant in May 2026. Buyers considering a 2025 YOM bike should verify its import channel, trim and warranty status.

Pros

Peak torque arrives at 3,750 rpm. The 19.93 Nm output supports lower-speed riding without constantly using higher revs.

Seat height is 795 mm. This can make repeated stops and parking more manageable for many riders.

Ground clearance is 181 mm. This provides useful clearance over larger speed humps and uneven road surfaces.

Fuel capacity is 14 litres. This reduces refuelling frequency compared with an otherwise identical bike using a smaller tank.

The Top variant gets dual-channel ABS. Rain and Urban modes add another layer of braking control for changing conditions.

Cons

The turning radius is relatively wide. Independent testing found this slightly restricts filtering through dense traffic.

The transmission has five gears. Published testing found the short gearing less relaxed at higher road speeds

Long-distance pillion comfort has limitations. Earlier owner feedback reports a small rear seat and discomfort over longer journeys.

Published fuel-economy results vary noticeably. Overseas city results range from 32.31 km/l to around 40 km/l.

A 2025 YOM bike needs additional documentation checks. Sri Lanka's official Top-variant launch occurred only in May 2026.

Driver Insights

3
out of 5

Based on published road tests, earlier owner feedback and early Sri Lankan market impressions, the TVS Ronin 2025 appears best suited to relaxed urban and everyday riding. Riders commonly highlight its upright seating position, low-speed tractability and light steering as useful in traffic. Earlier owner feedback also points to increased vibration above roughly 90 km/h and reduced comfort on longer rides, making it less convincing as a sustained high-speed tourer. Overall, the Ronin comes across as a practical modern-retro motorcycle aimed more at commuting and casual weekend riding than outright performance.

Key Features & Design

Published road tests describe the Ronin as combining cruiser, roadster and modern-retro design influences. The locally confirmed Top specification adds LED lighting, adjustable levers and a digital display. Its unconventional styling remains subjective, supporting a 4/5 rating.
