TVS Ronin - Features Explained

The bike’s features list is more than decent with a slipper clutch, navigation, adjustable levers and more

The TVS Ronin is a neo-retro scrambler and its base variant’s price was recently reduced while the top-end TD - Special Edition received a new colour. Here’s a close look at all the features it gets:

The TVS Ronin gets a round LCD instrument console that shows speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip meter, clock, fuel gauge and gear position indicator readouts along with regular tell-tale lights. The TD and Special Edition variants get Bluetooth connectivity for call and SMS alerts, phone signal and battery level status and turn-by-turn navigation along with voice assistance. The bike gets all-LED lighting and TVS’ Glide-Through technology which lets you move around at very low speeds with just clutch modulation and no throttle input. Other features of the bike include a silent starter, side-stand engine cut off, slipper clutch and adjustable brake and clutch levers (only available on the TD and Special Edition variants). The bike also gets two ABS modes: Rain and Urban.

The TVS Ronin is available in four variants: SS, DS, TD and TD-Special Edition. Here are the variant-wise prices: 

Powering the TVS Ronin is a 225.9cc air-/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 20.4PS at 7,750rpm and 19.93Nm at 3,750rpm. It comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Its suspension setup consists of a 41mm inverted fork and a monoshock with 7-step preload adjustability. The braking setup consists of a 300mm front disc brake and a 240mm rear disc brake. The SS and DS variants get single-channel ABS as standard while the TD and TD - Special Edition variants get dual-channel ABS as standard. It rivals the likes of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Jawa 42 and the Kawasaki W175.
