The Ronin scrambler, cafe racer mash-up has been launched by TVS Motor with a starting price of Rs 1.49 lakh for the base variant, Rs 1.56 lakh for the Base Plus variant, and Rs 1.69-1.71 lakh for the Mid.
Moving from spy images to the real thing, the TVS Ronin remains a striking motorcycle that pushes the boundaries of convention while blurring the lines between two contrasting retro-design philosophies, scrambler and cafe racer. The Ronin gets a round headlight cluster in the front, similar to what we saw in spy photos, with an inset T-shaped DRL. The offset instrument cluster pays homage to the scrambler design form.
The teardrop tank that cants forward, giving the bike a stance, is one of the most eye-catching design details. The bodywork is complemented by blacked-out mechanical components. TVS also stated that they would capitalize on the motorcycle’s lifestyle appeal with a variety of accessories.
The base variant will be available in Lightning Black and Magma Red colors, while the base plus will be available in Delta Blue and Stargaze Black. Ronin will be available in two colors: Galactic Grey and Dawn Orange. At the price point, the Ronin will receive a robust set of features. TVS’ Smart Xonnect Bluetooth connectivity system, which includes call and message alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, and voice assistance features, as well as a USB charger. It also gets two modes for the ABS – urban and rain, and an assist-and-slipper clutch.
The Ronin is powered by a 225.9cc 4-valve single-cylinder engine producing 20.4bhp at 7750rpm and 19.93Nm of peak torque at 3750rpm. This new TVS engine is oil-cooled, has an ISG, and is paired with a 5-speed transmission with a slipper clutch.
