TVS Motor Company has unveiled the 2025 edition of the Ronin, its modern-retro motorcycle. The latest update brings new color options and a key safety upgrade. TVS aims to enhance the bike’s visual appeal while maintaining its balance of style and functionality. The Ronin continues to target riders who seek a blend of classic aesthetics with modern technology.
New features and updates
The 2025 Ronin now comes in Midnight Blue, Glacier Silver and Charcoal Ember, adding to its already distinctive color palette. TVS has also introduced dual-channel ABS in the mid-variant, improving braking performance and safety. This addition ensures better control in varied road conditions, making the Ronin a more well-rounded package.
The updated lineup starts at ₹1.35 lakh (ex-showroom), with the mid-variant priced at ₹1.59 lakh. The top-spec model continues to offer premium features like Bluetooth connectivity and a full LED lighting setup.
Performance and specifications
The 2025 TVS Ronin retains its 225.9cc, single-cylinder engine that delivers 20.4 PS at 7,750 RPM and 19.93 Nm of torque at 3,750 RPM. The engine is tuned for low-end torque, making it suitable for both city rides and highway cruising.
Glide Through Traffic (GTT) technology ensures smooth low-speed maneuverability, while the assist and slipper clutch offers effortless gear shifts. The bike also features an upside-down front fork, contributing to better stability and handling. These elements reinforce the Ronin’s positioning as a stylish yet practical modern-retro motorcycle.
Competition and market positioning
In India’s growing modern-retro segment, the Ronin competes with bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Honda CB350 RS, and the Jawa 42. The Hunter 350, with its torquey 349cc engine, appeals to riders looking for a classic roadster experience. The CB350 RS offers a sportier stance with a 348cc motor, while the Jawa 42 brings old-school charm with a performance-oriented approach.
TVS differentiates the Ronin with its lighter build, modern tech features, and smoother engine performance. With the introduction of new colors and improved braking, it remains a compelling option for riders who want a mix of retro styling and modern-day practicality.
Final thoughts
The 2025 TVS Ronin refresh keeps the model relevant in a competitive segment. The addition of new colors enhances its visual appeal, while the dual-channel ABS upgrade improves safety. Retaining its smooth engine and easy-going ride characteristics, the Ronin continues to cater to riders looking for a stylish, urban-friendly modern-retro motorcycle.
