TVS Motor Company has expanded the Ronin lineup with a new Base+ variant, positioned between the existing Base and Mid variants. With this addition, the TVS Ronin is now available in four variants in India.
The motorcycle is priced from around ₹1.26 lakh to ₹1.64 lakh (ex-showroom) and competes with popular motorcycles such as the Royal Enfield Hunter 350.
The new Base+ variant brings an important safety upgrade while retaining the features and mechanical setup of the standard Base model.
What Does the Ronin Base+ Offer?
The biggest highlight of the new Base+ variant is dual-channel ABS.
The standard Base variant comes with single-channel ABS, while the Base+ adds a second channel, making it the most affordable Ronin variant to offer dual-channel ABS.
For riders looking for additional braking safety without moving to a higher-end variant, this is one of the key changes introduced with the Base+.
The new variant also gets two additional colour options, giving buyers more choices.
Features Available Even on the Base Variant
The entry-level Ronin already comes equipped with several useful features.
It gets two riding modes—Rain and Urban—allowing riders to adjust the motorcycle's riding characteristics according to conditions.
The bike also features an all-LED lighting setup and an asymmetric digital instrument cluster.
The digital console displays important information such as:
-
Speed
-
Gear position
-
Odometer
-
Trip meter
-
Fuel level
-
Tachometer
-
Other riding information
The Base variant weighs 159 kg, making it around 1 kg lighter than the higher variants.
Engine Remains Unchanged
TVS has not made any mechanical changes to the Ronin Base+.
It continues to use the same 225.9cc oil-cooled engine, producing 20.1 bhp of power and 19.9 Nm of peak torque.
The engine is paired with the same transmission and mechanical setup as the other Ronin variants.
