TVS Ronin Latest News & Updates
The TVS Ronin launched in India on 6 July 2022 as TVS's entry into the retro-modern street segment, a space until then dominated by Royal Enfield and Honda. At launch, its combination of a slipper clutch, full-LED lighting, and SmartXonnect Bluetooth at a sub-Rs 1.30 Lakh starting price was unusual for the bracket.
The biggest update landed in August 2025 with a facelift: dual-channel ABS became standard on the Mid variant (previously Top-exclusive), and two new colours - Glacier Silver and Charcoal Ember - joined the range, at a starting price of around Rs 1.35 Lakh. A month later, in September 2025, TVS cut ex-showroom prices by up to Rs 14,300 following the GST 2.0 tax reform, bringing the base variant down to roughly Rs 1,24,790. In December 2025, TVS used its MotoSoul 5.0 event to launch the Ronin Agonda Edition - a white-with-blue-red-stripes special edition inspired by Goa's Agonda beach - priced at around Rs 1.31 Lakh.
Through 2026, TVS has not added any new variants or colours to the Ronin. What has changed is price: ex-showroom figures crept up by roughly Rs 1,000-1,600 per variant between May and August 2026 (the Base Lightning Black moved from Rs 1,28,690 to Rs 1,30,290, and the Top from Rs 1,61,640 to Rs 1,62,640), while the core engine, chassis, and feature set are unchanged from the 2025 facelift.
The more interesting story is demand: TVS's retail sales of the Ronin nearly doubled - up about 97% year-on-year - in the April-June 2026 quarter (Q1 of TVS's FY2027), giving the Ronin an 8% share of TVS's total two-wheeler wholesales and roughly 36% of the entire 200-250cc segment. That is a strong signal the retro-modern positioning is working, even without a capacity bump. Enthusiast forums continue to speculate about a larger-displacement or liquid-cooled Ronin to take on the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, but TVS has made no official announcement.

TVS Ronin wholesales hit 28,619 units in Q1 FY2027 (Apr-Jun 2026), up 97% year-on-year from 14,530 units in Q1 FY2026, lifting its share of TVS's total two-wheeler wholesales to 8% (from 4%) and giving it a 36% share of the 200-250cc segment (78,880 units).
For existing owners, none of the 2025-2026 updates affect service intervals or parts - the mechanical package is unchanged since the facelift. Oil-change interval remains every 3,000 km or 6 months, and the first three services are free under TVS's standard warranty. TVS's service network of over 4,000 touchpoints keeps spares accessible even in Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns. Aftermarket exhausts from vendors like SpeedMasters and SVR remain the most popular modification among Ronin owners looking to add a deeper note to the otherwise quiet single-cylinder engine. Given the sales momentum through 2026, waiting periods have lengthened at some dealerships for the Mid and Top variants - it's worth confirming delivery timelines before booking.
