TVS Ronin City Mileage Test: The Truth Behind the 42 kmpl Claim

Editor’s Note: This mileage analysis is based on aggregated real-world user data sourced from owner forums (TeamBHP, Reddit) and verified purchase reviews. It does not reflect a personal test ride by the author but rather a comprehensive study of long-term ownership reports to verify the 42 kmpl claim.

The TVS Ronin brochure states that the mileage is 42.95 kilometers per liter, while the salesman claims it is 40 kilometers per liter. But what is the actual mileage when the TVS Ronin is ridden on city?

We investigated this and found an honest review on Teambhp. However, the mileage reported there differs from both the brochure and the salesman’s claims.

Reasons for mileage drop and how to fix it

While the TVS Ronin generally offers good mileage, many riders notice that their bike’s fuel efficiency starts to decrease over time. So, what can you do to improve your bike’s mileage? Below are some comments from TVS Ronin owners on Reddit, where they share how they maintain their bike’s fuel efficiency.

Check and maintain proper tyre pressure. Avoid opening the throttle more than 50% while accelerating. Use engine braking, upshift early, and downshift late.

Try to ride in higher gears as much as possible without lugging the engine.

Use fuel additives like Iftex, or fill a full tank of V-Power once in a while.

Replace the air filter and spark plug if this hasn’t been done already. The air filter may need to be replaced earlier due to dust, especially if you’re riding continuously in the city.

Here’s a corrected and more polished version (kept the meaning, toned it clean):

Maintain around 4,000 rpm for the best mileage. I’m from Mumbai, and even in bumper-to-bumper traffic (using GTT), I’m getting around 40 kmpl and about 44 kmpl on the highway. Avoid unnecessary revving, and make sure to lube your chain every 500 km or once a month.
