The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs TVS Ronin comparison highlights two very different approaches to the retro bike segment. The Hunter 350 focuses on classic appeal, offering a strong low-end torque and the signature Royal Enfield “thump,” making it ideal for riders who value character and brand legacy. In contrast, the TVS Ronin delivers a more modern experience with better fuel efficiency, lighter handling, advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity, and superior comfort. While the Hunter is about emotion and presence, the Ronin is a practical, feature-rich choice. Ultimately, the decision depends on whether you prioritize riding feel or everyday usability.

00:00Hunter 350 or Ronin
00:01Royal Enfield thump on one side
00:04On the other hand, TVS
00:06Features of Tadka
00:07Fans of one say there's something different about its ride.
00:10Others say there's value in it.
00:12And you in the middle
00:13Confused
00:14Today I will clear this confusion.
00:17Both bikes are shown in this video.
00:19I have brought 10 Real World Comparison Points
00:21No Specs
00:22I will tell you what the difference is in real life.
00:25Which one is right for you
00:27What is lacking in which
00:28Everything
00:29watch the video till the end
00:31Let's get started
00:32Countdown from No. 10
00:34No. 10 Price Difference
00:36Let's talk about No. 10
00:38Because it strikes the eye first.
00:41Hunter 350's
00:42X Showroom Price
00:43Starts at 1.38 lakh rupees
00:46And Top Variant
00:47goes up to 1.67 lakh rupees
00:49On Road Price as per your city
00:52from 1.53
00:53Will be made between 1.80 lakh rupees
00:56Speaking of Ronin
00:57It starts from Rs 1.26 lakh
01:00And the Top Variant goes up to Rs 1.60 lakh
01:03On Road Price from Rs 1.35
01:06Will come around 1.73 lakh rupees
01:08Ronin is clearly cheaper by 10-15 lakh rupees
01:11But there is a difference in the price.
01:13There will be compromise too, right?
01:15They look forward
01:16Price then went to Ronin's side.
01:18But the engine case says something else.
01:20Let's look at number 9
01:22Number 9 comes to the engine characteristics
01:25This is the thing that
01:26Not written in the specs
01:27It is only felt
01:29The Hunter 350 is powered by the famous 349cc air-cooled engine.
01:33Power 20.2 thing is that thump
01:39When you start Hunter
01:41The sound of that engine touches my heart.
01:44Even at low rpm, the torque is so much that
01:46You don't have to worry about changing gears in traffic.
01:48The Ronin is powered by a 225cc oil-cooled, 4-valve engine.
01:52Power 20.1 bhp, Torque 19.93 Nm
01:56The engine is smooth and refined
01:58When you give the throttle, the response is instant
02:01But he doesn't get a character like Aari.
02:04Hunter gives you that feeling in the real world
02:06You're running something special
02:07Ronin gives you a good bike ride
02:10What do you prefer, thump or smoothness?
02:13Tell me in the comments
02:14Engine character went in Hunter's favor.
02:17But the mileage game says something else.
02:19Let's look at number seven
02:21Let's talk about mileage at number seven.
02:23Because daily petrol expenses also have to be maintained.
02:26Hunter 350 in Real World Conditions
02:44You can go up to 42 or 45 on the highway.
02:47The Ronin has a 14-litre fuel tank.
02:49Hunter's 13 Liter
02:50Meaning you can get 500 kilometers plus range from Ronin
02:54without the worry of petrol
02:56If you drive 40-50 kilometers daily
02:59So Ronin in your pocket every month
03:00Can save Rs 500-800
03:02Ronin wins in mileage.
03:05But Comfort's decision says otherwise.
03:08Let's look at number 7.
03:10Riding comfort comes in at number 7.
03:12Long rides or daily commutes
03:14Comfort Matters
03:16The Hunter 350 has an upright riding posture
03:18But there is a little commitment feeling
03:20The seat height is 790 mm.
03:22Comfortable for short people
03:24But those above 6 feet
03:26May feel a little crummy
03:28The suspension is a bit stiff
03:29The jerks on the speed breakers are a bit more noticeable.
03:32Ground Clearance 160 mm
03:34There is a fear of getting stuck on the speed breaker with the pillion.
03:37The Ronin has a relaxed riding posture
03:40Upright seating, wide handlebars, well padded seat
03:43795 mm seat height, 159 kg weight
03:46Comfortable for almost everyone
03:48The suspension is plush
03:5041 mm USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear
03:54Bad roads, pot holes, speed breakers
03:56She absorbs everything comfortably
03:58181 mm ground clearance
04:00No fear of getting stuck on speed breakers
04:02If you have back pain problem
04:04or go on long rides
04:06Then Ronin is better for you.
04:07Ronin has made a big difference in comfort
04:09But the features game is still on
04:11See the number in the picture
04:13Let's talk about features and technology on Number Chah
04:16How much tech is there in bikes today?
04:18This also matters
04:19Hunter 350 after 2025 update
04:22Got LED headlamp
04:24The instrument cluster is semi-digital.
04:26Digital display with analog speeds
04:28Tripper navigation card is available in higher variants.
04:31For turn by turn navigation
04:33USB Type-C charging port
04:35Dual channel ABS is standard
04:37The Ronin has a fully digital console
04:39Everything digital
04:40Bluetooth connectivity, call alerts, SMS alerts
04:43The top verint also has turn-by-turn navigation.
04:46All LED lighting, headlight, tail light, indicators, sub-LED
04:5141mm USD fork is rare in this segment
04:53Riding modes, urban and rain mode
04:56Ronin is the clear winner in terms of features
04:58Digital console, Bluetooth, USD forks, riding modes
05:02Hunter doesn't have all of these.
05:03Hunter is simple, with a retro feel
05:06Ronin rocked the features
05:08But you have to decide the looks.
05:10See you in number five
05:12Number five comes down to looks and styling.
05:14Style is everything in retro bikes
05:16The design of Hunter 350 is classic retro, round headlamp, round tail light, round indicators, fork gators, blacked out engine components.
05:25And the exhaust gives stealth look, color options are peppy, factory black, dapper grey, rebel blue, london red, road
05:32The presence is different, people recognize that this is Royal Enfield, Ronin has a neo retro design, round headlight
05:39With a muscular design, sleek tail section, gold colored upside down folks contrast with the blacked out engine,
05:46Dual tone color schemes, glacier silver, charcoal amber, midnight blue, the design is unique, looks different, now your personal choice
05:54If you want pure retro, that royal infield charm, then Hunter, if you want a modern touch
06:00If you want retro with a unique look, then Ronin, now looks are a matter of the heart, but handling
06:05The case says something else, let's see in number 4, let's talk about number 4
06:11But whether it's fun to corner or not, the Hunter 350 offers stable handling, but weighing 181 kg
06:18It feels a bit heavy due to its suspension setup, telescopic forks and twin shocks, it feels stable on the highway.
06:25but slightly less agile than the Ronin in cornering, braking system, 300 mm front disc, 270 mm rear disc
06:33With dual channel ABS, braking feedback is good,
06:36The Ronin has agile handling, low weight, 159 kg, USD forks, so cornering is fun, low
06:44center of gravity, ease in traffic, braking system 300 mm front disc, 240 mm rear disc
06:51With dual channel ABS, ABS calibration is good, giving braking confidence if you want to enjoy cornering.
06:58Ronin is more fun, if you want highway stability, Hunter is stable,
07:03Both have their own strengths in handling, but the maintenance game is different, let's look at number 3.
07:09But coming to maintenance and service, buying a bike is easy, but handling it is difficult.
07:14Hunter 350 maintenance cost is reasonable, Royal Enfield has a wide service network in India, parts availability is good
07:22Yes, the warranty is for 5 years.
07:24But you know the crowd at RE service centers, if you have to go for service on weekends, then go at 8 in the morning.
07:29You have to queue up at 10:00 PM only,
07:31TVS maintenance cost is affordable, TVS service network is good, but service quality depends on the location,
07:38There are complaints at some places, not at some places, warranty is for 5 years, from TVS service centers RE
07:44It is less crowded,
07:46If you have a good TVS service center in your city, then Ronin is easy, if you want a wide spread of RE
07:51If you need a network, then the hunter is safe.
07:53We have talked about maintenance, now let's see which one runs well in the city.
07:57At number 2, let's talk about the city ride, how do both of them run in traffic?
08:02Hunter 350 gives its own unique vibe in the city, that thump, that feel, that road presence, people moving around in traffic.
08:08Let's see,
08:09But the weight is 181 kg, the clutch feels a bit heavy, it can hit your hand in bumper to bumper traffic,
08:16The ground clearance is 160 mm, there is a fear of getting stuck with the pillion on the speed breaker,
08:21A little practice is needed while taking a U-turn.
08:23Ronin is the queen of the city, weight 159 kg, clutch light, USD forks, plush suspension, moves through traffic like a fish
08:31Take,
08:32Ground clearance 181 mm, no fear of any speed breaker,
08:36Due to the low center of gravity, it is easy to make a U-turn and is comfortable even with pills.
08:41If you want to drive with all your heart in the city, then the experience of hunter is different,
08:45If you want to get away easy, there's Ronin,
08:48Ronin wins the city, but now comes the most important number,
08:52Number 1 will tell you which is the best retro bike.
08:55And coming to number 1, the final verdict,
08:59After hearing so much, what should one take?
09:02Hunter 350 is for those who dream of royal and field,
09:07The thump you want, the engine feel,
09:09Those who need torque of 27 newton meter pull, power at low rpm,
09:15Those who want a classic retro look, who are of average height,
09:185.5 to 5.9, who understand the value of the tag of R.E.
09:24Ronen is for those who want comfort,
09:26plus suspension, relaxed posture, features you need,
09:30digital console, Bluetooth, USD Fox, for whom mileage is important,
09:3435 to 42 km per liter, whose height is more than 5.9,
09:39For those who want to stay within their budget, Ronen is affordable.
09:42Those who want to look unique, the real thing,
09:46Hunter is a feeling, Ronan is a smart choice,
09:49In Hunter, you enter the world of Royal Enfield.
09:53That thump, that look, that road presence, it's not available in the specs.
09:57At Ronen you get value for money,
10:00No one is offering as many features as there are,
10:02There is comfort, mileage and handling too.
10:05If you ask me personally, if you are buying your first bike,
10:09If you want it for your daily commute, if you want features, then Ronen,
10:12If you dream of R.E., want that feel, then get Hunter.
