If you’re hunting a mid‑displacement bike that feels modern yet keeps the price low, the newly tweaked Ronin is worth a look.
The Base+ at ₹1.42 lakh brings dual‑channel ABS, the Mid at ₹1.52 lakh adds a connected cluster and Type‑C charging, while the Top at ₹1.64 lakh wraps it up with traction control, a premium seat and full connectivity.
Under the hood, the Ronin houses a 225.9‑cc single that churns out 20.1 bhp and 19.93 Nm. The Hunter 350, by contrast, packs a 349‑cc engine that delivers 20.2 bhp but 27 Nm of torque. The weight gap is stark: 160 kg for the Ronin versus 177–181 kg for the Hunter, both using a 5‑speed gearbox.
The Ronin’s tech stack feels like a smartphone on two wheels, offering turn‑by‑turn navigation, ride statistics and a call‑alert system on higher trims. The Hunter 350 sticks to a more traditional aesthetic, with its chrome‑heavy body and a focus on raw riding feel.
In a market where the 150‑250cc class is saturated, the Ronin’s lighter weight and integrated tech make it a serious contender against Yamaha FZ and Bajaj Pulsar RS. If torque and a classic look are higher on your list, the Hunter still pulls ahead. Either way, the price differential—₹1.42 lakh for the base tech‑savvy Ronin versus ₹1.38 lakh for the Hunter’s base—gives you a clear cost advantage.
The updated models hit the Delhi showrooms this month and are rolling out to other metros over the next fortnight. Keep an eye on the upcoming test‑ride reviews to see how the new tech translates to real‑world riding.
