Rs 4.6 lakh ex-showroom · petrol · updated July 18, 2026
The TVS Ronin 225 is a modern-retro 225-class motorcycle that TVS now sells in Nepal in two listed trims at the same ex-showroom price, and the TD is the one to look at for the full feature set. In Nepali riding conditions, its appeal is less about outright speed and more about easy low-end pull, useful ground clearance, and a package that tries to balance city comfort with occasional highway and rough-road use.
The Ronin 225 does not look like a conventional commuter or a full-on cruiser; it mixes a round LED headlamp, a distinctive T-shaped daytime running light signature, a compact stance, and a side-slung, asymmetrical instrument pod for a modern-retro identity. On the TD variant, the visual appeal is backed by premium hardware such as USD front forks and alloy wheels, while the overall shape stays upright and approachable rather than bulky.
The Nepal-market Ronin 225 uses a 225.9cc single-cylinder, four-stroke, four-valve, SOHC, fuel-injected, oil-cooled engine paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Power is quoted at 20.4 PS and torque at 19.93 Nm, and the engine is tuned for a flatter, low-revving torque spread rather than high-rpm drama, which suits stop-start Kathmandu traffic and hilly roads better than a peaky performance bike. Real-world mileage is commonly reported in the 35–40 kmpl band, with a 14-litre tank giving a practical touring range that is useful for Nepali owners who want fewer fuel stops.
The TD variant gets the most complete equipment list, including dual-channel ABS, selectable riding modes, TVS SmartXonnect connectivity, full-LED lighting, a slipper clutch, and Glide Through Technology for smoother low-speed riding. Suspension hardware is a clear strength for Nepal: the Ronin uses a 41 mm USD front fork and a rear monoshock, while its 181 mm ground clearance and 795 mm seat height make it easier to live with on broken city roads and uneven village approaches. Braking is by disc brakes at both ends, and the bike’s wide-block tread tyres and upright ergonomics support its role as a practical everyday machine rather than a pure styling exercise.
TVS Nepal’s current lineup for the Ronin 225 lists two variants, Ronin 225 at Rs 4,59,900 and TD at Rs 4,59,900, so the feature-rich trim is unusually easy to justify if the prices remain aligned in your local showroom. That positions the Ronin against similarly priced lifestyle motorcycles and premium commuters in Nepal, where buyers often cross-shop on comfort, ground clearance, features, and badge value rather than only engine size. It suits riders who want a relaxed daily motorcycle for mixed Nepali use: office commuting, ring-road traffic, occasional weekend runs, and rougher road patches, with the added benefit of a lower-stress engine character and relatively frugal fuel use for the segment.
The Ronin 225 makes the most sense as a stylish all-rounder with real-world friendliness, not as a spec-sheet weapon. For Nepal, its strongest case is the combination of approachable ergonomics, usable torque, decent suspension travel for rough roads, and a top-variant feature list that feels complete without pushing the motorcycle into a much higher price band.
