TVS Ronin scrambler is equipped with a new 225.9 cc single-cylinder air- and oil-cooled engine with modern-retro styling elements
TVS Motor Company has today launched the Ronin in the domestic market officially following a lengthy teaser campaign and is priced between Rs. 1.49 lakh and Rs. 1.70 lakh (ex-showroom). The TVS Ronin scrambler is an all-new motorcycle and it steps into the segment which has yet to be widely explored by two-wheeler manufacturers in India.
According to TVS, it targets a new breed of modern riders and is based on a brand new chassis. The TVS Ronin boasts a round-shaped headlight cluster with chrome casing, floating digital instrument console, single-piece seat, 3D TVS logo, two-tone body colour, circular rearview mirrors, a tear-drop shaped fuel tank, matt black side slung exhaust unit with a heat shield and black tip, and so on.
Other highlights are LED lighting system for the headlight, taillight and turn signals, muscular rear fender, machined nine-spoke alloy wheels, tubular grab handle, blackened engine area, upright handlebar positioning, centrally positioned footpegs and engine sump guard. The TVS Ronin is suspended on upside-down 41 mm big piston front forks sourced from Showa and a monoshock suspension at the rear with a gas-filled chamber.
