The Ronin from TVS is a bike that embodies modern features blended with pure classic feelings, thus redefining the cruiser segment. For the new-age rider looking for comfort, technology, and performance, the TVS Ronin is that classic silhouette.
While luxury and practicality certainly stand out, the bike is far from being just a pretty face. The TVS Ronin offers some exclusive features with a rugged build suitable for commuting and long-distance cruising alike.
Power for the Long Haul
The Ronin enters into a refined experience that imparts an zum-zum to some aZtec. The electricals signify that it has an all-LED lighting system, including headlamps, taillamps, indicators, etc. We are not jumping on the actual battery specs here, but in designing the electricals, one can assume the engineers must have concentrated on the provision for modern add-ons such as a digital instrument cluster and smartphone connectivity, which need a reactive battery system to ensure equal performance in not just the daily drags in cities but also those long rides.
Engine Muscle Meets Stylish Tech
A 225.9cc single-cylinder oil-cooled engine lies at the heart of the TVS Ronin, delivering smooth power: 20.4 PS at 7750 RPM; peak torque, 19.93 Nm at 3750 RPM. A 5-speed gearbox nicely complements the engine with a refined shift feel.
Overtaking calmly and seamlessly at speed in busy city traffic will be no difficulty for our cruiser; though maybe not camera-style, its instrument cluster makes sure it’s all about tech, with voice-assistance and navigation features and more through TVS SmartXonnect.
Everyday Thrills and Weekend Adventures
The TVS Ronin has been built, using the double-cradle split frame, with a 41 mm USD front fork and a rear mono-shock. With disc brakes provided at both ends with dual-channel ABS, braking is assured. Riding on 17-inch alloy wheels with a seat height of 795 mm means it would be accessible to most riders. Some other features, like glide-through technology in traffic, rain or urban ABS modes, and adjustable levers, will endear it to the rider.
Price to Reflect Value
In India, the Ronin from TVS comes across as attractively priced. The ex-showroom price begins from ₹1.49 lakh and varies across different variants based on finish and features.
Premium paint schemes and extra connectivity features characterise the high-end variants. This price is pretty good considering the package of features and the statement design value-on offer for a cruiser rider searching for something different.
