TVS Ronin

The TVS Ronin is a neo-retro motorcycle combining cruiser, scrambler, and roadster characteristics, offering a relaxed riding posture and everyday practicality. First launched in 2022, the Ronin marked TVS Motor’s entry into a new design language and market segment.

For 2025, the Ronin received significant updates, including the introduction of a specially modified version unveiled at the Rann Utsav. This Model offers enhanced features such as dual-purpose tyres, a redesigned front mudguard, and a reinforced rear rack, enhancing its exploration theme. Its stylish leather detailing, inspired by Ajrak craft traditions, and a gradient paint finish reflect the desert landscape, making it a standout choice for riders.

The 2025 update also introduces two new paint schemes, replacing older colours. Designed for city use and light touring, the TVS Ronin stands out in the 200–300 cc class with its versatile design, connectivity features, and refined ride dynamics.

Recently, the TVS Motor Company has filed design patents for a cafe racer based on the Ronin. The motorcycle has spawned a series of custom builds among enthusiasts, and now we may get one straight from the factory.
