    TVS Zeppelin, Retron Name In Teaser – Three New Motorcycles?

    TVS Motors is getting ready to launch their new motorcycle on July 6th and a lot of possibilities span around what it could beTVS New Motorcycle – Ronin, Zeppelin, Retron ?If a manufacturer can somehow sneakily and stealthily launch a product without getting papped, it is TVS. We have seen it with the launch of Raider 125. With a population as ridiculously immense as India’s and how densely it is condensed, it is very commendable. It is not like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, but it is like pulling a hat out of a rabbit.Just before the launch, leaked photos suggested that the name of their new motorcycle is Ronin. This modern cafe racer style motorcycle had design inspiration from the TVS Zeppelin concept. But with another set of teasers out, it seems there is more than one motorcycle planned for launch.TVS Zeppelin R is Zeppelin Retron or Zeppelin Ronin?TVS shared a teaser for its upcoming launch in the form of a word puzzle and asked to guess what we can see. We saw a lot of words in that puzzle, except for Ronin. Huh? We double and triple-checked the earlier leaked image and it has Ronin branding on it. Instead, TVS has something planned with the name Zeppelin and Retron.We searched for possible keywords on the internet, thinking that something would turn up and it did. Most names that are expected, like Ronin, Retron, and Zeppelin all lead to an ad developed by TVS for Google search results with keyword Zeppelin on it. If you search for Retron and Ronin, the ad for TVS Zeppelin pops up. We also searched for other TVS products out of curiosity like Raider and Apache, and that also triggered the same ad at the top of Google search results.TVS New Motorcycle TeaserIf you click on the ad, it will take you to a landing page of TVS Motors, where they have their upcoming motorcycle teaser. Coming back to the word puzzle, we managed to spot Zeppelin, Retron, Explore, Experiment, Innovate, Improvise and Plants (It bugged us too).TVS Zeppelin Name In Google Search – Promoted by TVS MotorIs TVS Launching Three New Motorcycles?With so many names out there, it is likely that TVS could launch two or three new motorcycles – Zeppelin, Retron and Ronin. We know that the 250cc segment is heating up in demand. Bajaj has flooded the market with the launch of multiple motorcycles in the 250cc range. They have seven 250cc motorcycles on offer under their brands – Pulsar, Dominar, KTM, Husqvarna.TVS has none in this segment as of now. In the performance segment, they have Apache 200 and then Apache 310. Nothing in between. Is TVS planning on filling this gap tomorrow, with the launch of not 1, but 3 new motorcycles? One could be named Ronin, 2nd one Zeppelin and 3rd Retron.TVS has registered names – Zepplin R, Retron and RoninThese could be based on the same platform, share parts and engine. A 220cc single delivering about 20 hp mated to 5 speed gearbox? One could be a scrambler (Retron), cafe racer (Ronin) and cruiser (Zeppelin)? Whatever it is, we will know for sure tomorrow, which is when the New TVS motorcycle launch event is. More

    New TVS Ronin Cruiser First Photos Leak – Zepplin Inspired 225cc?

    TVS Ronin 225cc air-cooled single-cylinder motor is estimated to have a power output of around 20 hpNew TVS Ronin Cruiser – 225cc?First images of the upcoming TVS Ronin motorcycle have leaked online ahead of its launch on 5th July. TVS Ronin images were found on the official TVS website by Shreyas Sreedhar.While the exact displacement has not been officially revealed yet, the images reveal an air-cooled single-cylinder motor. Latest reports strongly indicate that it is a 225 cc mill. Power output is expected to be in the 20 hp range, mated to 5 speed transmission.TVS Ronin 225cc – OverviewThe TVS Ronin 225cc adopts a neo-classic bodystyle which is a crossover between a traditional low-slung cruiser and a rugged scrambler. The bodywork includes a slender fuel tank with pronounced knee indents, old-school side panels and no tailpiece. The dual-tone colour scheme and black finished engine and wheels enhances the motorcycle’s aesthetic appeal.TVS Ronin 225cc announces itself as a player in the premium segment with its sturdy gold finished inverted telescopic front forks, alloy wheels, thick tyres and a full LED headlamp which is characterized by a T-shaped LED daytime running light. The motorcycle is equipped with a single round instrument cluster and LED turn indicators.New TVS Ronin Cruiser – 225cc?We think it is a fully digital unit which is likely to incorporate mobile phone connectivity, TVS SmartXonnect system. The brown saddle, chunky exhaust canister, front and rear disc brakes are other noteworthy elements. Expect Dual ABS to be on offer.The latest TVS 225 cc motorcycle derives its inspiration from the Zeppelin cruiser concept which was showcased at the Auto Expo 2018 but there are crucial differences. For instance, the concept employed a liquid-cooled motor, spoke wheels and a full fledged tailpiece which are all missing on the production-spec model. The equipment level indicates that the motorcycle could be priced from around Rs 1.5 lakh (ex-showroom).CompetitionThis is a completely new segment of motorcycle for TVS. Their current range of motorcycles on offer are in the 100cc to 200cc range and then in the 310cc. They do not have anything in between 200cc to 300cc. The upcoming TVS Ronin is expected to sit right in between this segment.TVS Ronin 225cc could even rival Royal Enfield Hunter 350 – in price segment250cc segment is seeing a rise in demand. We have seen Bajaj taking over the 250cc segment with multiple launches under brand Pulsar, KTM and Husqvarna. Upon launch, TVS Ronin 225 could rival the KTM 250s, Husqvarna 250s and the Pulsar 250s. It could also take on the upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350, which is expected to launch next month at a starting price of Rs 1.3 lakh, ex-sh.Source More

    TVS Apache Electric Motorcycle With BMW G310R Styling – Render

    TVS and BMW will be co-developing an electric motorcycle based on a modified version of the G310 platformTVS Apache Electric Motorcycle – RenderA few months back, TVS Motor Company revealed its plans for venturing into the electric mobility space by extending its collaboration with BMW Motorrad. This would include co-development of an electric platform that will cater to future electric scooters, motorcycles and new concepts.The two-wheeler division of the German marque has previously collaborated on development and manufacturing of its entry-level products- G310 R and G310 GS. The G310 twins are responsible for improving the market share of BMW Motorrad in India. This platform also underpins TVS’s flagship product Apache RR 310.TVS Apache Electric Motorcycle ImaginedA digital rendering of the upcoming electric motorcycle from TVS has been created by artist Pratyush Rout. This electric bike is based on a modified version of the existing 310cc platform and also looks very familiar to G310R at its first impression. However, on taking a closer look, one notices that the design artist has incorporated several subtle changes.For starters, TVS Apache Electric Motorcycle (not official name) gets a slimmer headlamp casket than the naked streetfighter from BMW. It gets a muscular faux fuel tank as G 310 R but slightly different in shape and flaunting the TVS brand logo. While G 310 R gets a single-piece step-up seat, the TVS electric motorcycle features a split seat setup. Unlike the petrol-powered bike, the battery-powered motorcycle doesn’t expose its frame apart from the lower section.TVS Apache Electric Motorcycle – RenderLike G 310 R, this rendition of the upcoming electric bike also gets blacked-out internals, thus, providing a sporty dual-tone theme. Alloy wheel designs in the Apache Electric have also been directly lifted from the G 310 R. Instead of an engine and gearbox assembly, the electric motorcycle features a large battery pack placed under the tank.Expected featuresAnother major highlight of this motorcycle is that it is powered by a mid-ship mounted BLDC motor with a chain drive to the rear wheel. Other than this, all visual highlights are comparable to G 310 R including the same handlebar, golden-coloured front forks and rearview mirrors. Aluminium finish has been provided on footpegs and the brake pedal.TVS has not come out with any specific details regarding its upcoming Apache electric motorcycle. The bike is still in its early stages of development and should only come into production around 2024. It should be laced with features like an all-LED lighting setup, a fully digital TFT instrument console compatible with TVS’ SmartXonnect function and Bluetooth connectivity. Upon launch, it could take on the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar electric or the KTM Duke electric.TVS Apache Electric Motorcycle – RenderCurrent TVS Electric offeringTVS currently retails only one electric two-wheeler under its belt in the form iQube e-scooter. Powering iQube is a 4.4kW hub-mounted BLDC motor that derives its energy from a 3.04 / 4.56 kWh battery pack. This powertrain returns 3kW power and 100/140 Nm of peak torque, depending on the variant. Claimed range is from 100-140 kms on single charge. Top speed is at 78 / 82 kmph. More
