Which Bike for a New Rider Under ₹1.5L — Ronin vs N160 vs Xtreme 125R?
I’m a new rider with about less than a month of experience. Budget: ₹1.50–1.54 lakh (on-road). Can’t stretch beyond this at all. Otherwise I would have gone for a pulsar 200cc/250cc bike, but this is what I have.
My use case:
15–20 km daily commute
Occasional highway rides later
Plan to keep the bike 5 years atleast
Bikes I’m considering:
-
TVS Ronin (Single ABS)
-
Pulsar N160 (Dual ABS)
-
Xtreme 125R (Dual ABS)
Main doubt: Is single-channel ABS on the Ronin a dealbreaker? Which bike is safest and most practical for a beginner?
Looking for quick advice. Thanks!

If its coming under 1.5 blindly go for it, you will love it.
I am fit it didn’t cause any discomfort in highways for me. But only point I miss in this is ,a little more speed I dared only to drag it until 115kmph few people got even more until 125kmph but it doesn’t feel stable as it feels and is very light. If that’s okay for you, you can go with Pulsar N160.
I am not into drag... More into city and crusing on long rides stuff maybe somedays on hills... Would it suffice? People say they got bored from it in some days.. I don't see that issue as it's my first bike and I'll probably spend a good amount of time with this. Another thing... Is there any paint loss issue?
How much RE Hunter costing?
