- TVS Ronin 225 could pose a serious challenge to the cruiser bikes such as Bajaj Avenger and Royal Enfield Classic 350.
TVS Motor Company is planning to introduce a new motorcycle in the month of July. The upcoming product is confirmed to be launched in the market on July 6th. While the company is yet to confirm the name of the upcoming product. The bike is now rumoured to be called the Ronin 225, it could be used for the production version of the Zeppelin cruiser.

The company has previously registered the ‘Ronin’ nameplate in the country in 2020. Sundaram - Clayton Limited, a subsidiary of the TVS Group filed for a trademark application of TVS Ronin which was also accepted around the same period. The chances of the production-spec Zeppelin to be officially named Ronin are quite likely, but the added suffix of ‘225’ indicates that the company might introduce a new powertrain on the bike which would make it pose a greater challenge to the likes of the bikes such as Bajaj Avenger and Royal Enfield Classic 350.
