          • Cons

            Jawa 42

            • Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
            • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy

            TVS Ronin

            • Has great fit and finish levels
            • It's light to turn and feels stable when leaned over
            • Top variant is packed with features
            • Motor has ample low-end torque - easy to ride at slow speeds in higher gears

            Jawa 42

            • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
            • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

            TVS Ronin

            • Highway performance feels a bit lacking
            • Engine has a lot of vibration at higher rpm
            • Brake lever needs to be pulled quite hard for hard braking
