TVS Ronin Nimbus 225

TVS Ronin Nimbus 225: a grey neo-retro motorcycle to rent in Bali

The TVS Ronin Nimbus 225 pairs a grey tank and red accents with the round headlamp and exposed engine that define the Ronin's look. This 2026 motorcycle is an appealing rental for travelers who want the ride itself to be part of their time in Bali: an upright position, manual gears and a distinctive alternative to a scooter. Its grey-and-red finish gives the classic shape a distinctive touch.

Engine, gears and chassis

• Engine: 225 cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled and fuel injected.
• Transmission: five-speed manual, with the clutch and gear selection in your hands.
• Clutch: assist and slipper design, helping soften the engine-braking effect when you downshift.
• Braking: disc brakes at both ends.
• Front suspension: 41 mm upside-down fork beneath the retro styling.
• Riding layout: a broad handlebar, tank ahead of the seat and foot-operated gear changes.

That combination gives the Nimbus its appeal to riders who enjoy working with a gearbox. The conventional motorcycle layout makes the contrast with a step-through scooter clear.

Make the journey part of the day

A morning in town followed by an afternoon along Bali's coast is the kind of day where a Ronin makes sense: you want a motorcycle for the journeys, not just transport between stops. The upright riding position is part of that relaxed roadster style. The tradeoff is active clutch and gear work, especially in slow traffic; an automatic scooter suits a preference for no manual shifts.
