Fusion of Retro Charm & Modern Innovation
Classic roadsters have been popular for one key aspect - their rider-focused design. TVS Ronin 225 carries the classic charm of a roadster in terms of design while being equipped with all the modern features that can be viewed on the single-pod instrument cluster. The pod is packed with information, all delivered in an easy glance.

TVS Motor has ensured that the rider gets the best of both worlds and has integrated a torque-focused engine with crisp and accurate throttle response, all LED headlights and tail lamp that lend the bike a modern touch.
Tech loaded armoury
Starting with the instrument cluster, the LCD dash displays all the major elements a rider needs when you head out into the unknown, such as distance-to-empty, gear shift and assist indicator, side stand indicator, twin trip meter and other crucial information.
Taking it up a notch, TVS Motor has integrated state-of-the-art technology within the Ronin in the form of SmartXonnect. It is a Bluetooth-enabled tech designed to offer a wide array of functionalities such as incoming call/SMS alert, trip duration, riding stats, status of vehicle health, turn-by-turn navigation etc., all delivered in an easy glance on the instrument pod.
On the engine specifications front, Ronin’s 225 cc power unit with four-valve architecture churns out 20.4 PS of peak power and 19.9 Nm of peak torque. The engine and transmission are tuned for low and mid-range with plenty of grunt in the lower rpm, ideal for an unscripted trail like scaling up the mountain or dealing with the harsh tarmac or urban clogged routes. To keep the engine cool, the bike has a smartly integrated oil cooling system with an oversized radiator; it syncs perfectly with the retro theme and also keeps the bike cool in dynamic riding conditions.
Capable of offering the nostalgia of retro-classic bikes, TVS Ronin 225 amps it up with modern riding dynamics.
