    TVS Ronin Festive Edition Launched – Hunter 350 Rival Gets New Colour

    TVS Ronin Festive EditionThe primary rival to TVS Ronin is Royal Enfield Hunter 350 with similar performance metrics that starts from Rs 1.5 lakh (Ex-sh)
    Ahead of the festive season, TVS Motor has been offering excitement to Indian motorcycling enthusiasts. The company recently reduced the prices of Raider 125 with a new drum brake variant. Soon after, we also saw the price of Ronin reduced as well. Now, the company is offering a new colour scheme with Ronin. Let’s take a look.
    TVS Ronin Festive Edition Launched
    One of India’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturing brand, TVS Motor has been creating a few headlines in the recent past. Ahead of the festive season, TVS has been actively pushing a few motorcycles in its portfolio like Raider 125 and Ronin.
    TVS Ronin Price Cut
    Offering a mix of multiple motorcycling genres, TVS Ronin aims to be a versatile companion with a decent blend of style, performance and affordability. TVS recently slashed the prices of base Ronin SS by up to Rs 15,000. Ronin now starts from Rs 1.35 lakh (Ex-sh), which is an attractive proposition.
    After taking care of the base Ronin SS variant, TVS has turned its gaze towards the top variant, Ronin TD. Adding to the excitement around Ronin, TVS is offering a top-spec TD variant with a new Midnight Blue colour scheme with fluorescent green colour graphics. Called TVS Ronin Festive Edition, it adds a dash of personality to the already attractive motorcycle.
    TVS Ronin 225 Price
    The flyscreen lends a sense of muscle, which looks nice. There are no other changes seen on this motorcycle. Powertrain remains the same too. This 225.9cc SOHC 4V oil-cooled single-cylinder engine is capable of generating 20.4 PS of peak power and 19.93 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
    Features and componentry on TVS Ronin include disc brakes on either ends with optional dual-channel ABS, 17-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tyres as standard, USD telescopic front forks and rear mono-shock, LED lighting all around with a unique T-shaped DRL, fully digital instrument cluster with connectivity and more.
    TVS Ronin TD Special Edition
    Statement from TVS Motor
    Speaking on the occasion, Vimal Sumbly, Head of Business – Premium, TVS Motor Company, said, “TVS RONIN has set benchmarks with its modern-retro design and advanced features. Our #Unscripted mantra inspired riders to explore new horizons, embrace limitless adventures, and create their own stories.
    While this festive edition adds excitement to the range, our special pricing for the base variant makes the motorcycle more accessible for customers who seek the unique design, cutting edge technology and connected features of the TVS RONIN.” More

    TVS Ronin 225 Price Reduced By Rs 15k – New Price Rs 1.35 Lakh

    TVS Ronin 225 PriceWith a neo-retro Roadster design language, TVS Ronin strikes a unique approach to motorcycling backed by premium componentry and features
    India’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturing brand, TVS Motor, is ushering into the festive season by offering revised prices on select products. Yesterday, we covered the price revision of TVS Raider 125 by up to Rs 13,000 in savings. Today, let’s take a look at the price revision of TVS Ronin ahead of the festive season.
    TVS Ronin Price Cut
    Interestingly, similar terms and conditions are not seen on TVS Ronin’s price revision. The company seems to have slashed the prices of Ronin and the base Ronin SS variant now starts from Rs 1.35 lakh (Ex-sh). When opposed to pre-revision prices, Ronin SS is now more affordable by up to Rs 15,000 (Ex-sh). Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Yashraj for sharing this update.
    TVS Ronin Price Cut
    However, not all the variants get the same price revision. In fact, none of the other variants seems to get any price revisions at all. Variants like the Ronin DS, Ronin TD and Ronin TD Special Edition still cost more or less the same as they did before.
    The price difference between base Ronin SS and Ronin DS (one above base) used to be Rs 7,500. With the price revision from TVS Motor, the price difference between Ronin SS and Ronin DS is Rs 21,700, which is very interesting.
    MS Dhoni taking delivery of his new motorcycle – TVS Ronin
    We say interesting because the Rs 21,700 (Ex-sh) upgrade over Ronin SS to Ronin DS still doesn’t get dual-channel ABS. For that, one has to choose Ronin TD. An upgrade that costs around Rs 34K over base Ronin SS. With the new pricing, TVS can now better position Ronin against Royal Enfield Hunter 350, undercutting it by Rs 15K.
    Any other changes?
    Apart from the pricing for the base variant, there are no changes on TVS Ronin. The motorcycle continues to be equipped with USD telescopic front forks in gold shade, 7-step preload adjustable rear mono-shock, 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, a 2,040 mm wheelbase, LED headlight with T-shaped LED DRL and a fully-digital instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity among others.
    TVS Ronin is powered by a 225.9cc SOHC 4V oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that generates 20.4 PS of peak power and 19.93 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Except for a few attributes like dual-channel ABS, TVS Ronin SS base variant gets most of the features as standard, making it a better value proposition than RE Hunter 350 at Rs 1.35 lakh (Ex-sh).

    Now starting at an attractive price point of Rs 84,869 (Ex-sh), which is over Rs 10K less than the Rs 95,219 (Ex-sh) starting price before this development. With an asterisk, TVS Motor is claiming that customers can avail up to Rs 13,000 of savings with an exciting ROI (Rate Of Interest) of 5.55%.

    TVS Raider 125 Sales
    As seen in the table below, TVS Raider saw the highest sales performance in April 2024 at 51,098 units. In the past three months, June 2024, July 2024 and August 2024, TVS Raider sales are declining with 13%, 33.48% and 36.46% YoY decline, losing 4,459, 12,353 and 15,452 units in volume respectively. The revised pricing should boost sales in the months ahead.

This fully faired bike joins India’s elite single-cylinder premium motorcycle primarily competing against KTM RC390. It shares a lot of its components and features with TVS Apache RTR 310 and is the most expensive TVS motorcycle one can buy in India.
    2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Launched – Colours and Price
    As part of a collaboration between BMW Motorrad and TVS Motor, the 310 platform has emerged to be a versatile one underpinning 2 bikes for TVS and 3 for BMW. TVS has priced 2024 Apache RR 310 starting from Rs 2.75 lakh (Ex-sh) for the base variant without a quick-shifter.  The company is offering a quick-shifter for Rs 2.92 lakh (Ex-sh).

    On the outside, there are not a lot of changes to 2024 TVS Apache RR 310. That’s not a bad thing at all. The new model brings a transparent clutch cover along with aerodynamic winglets at the front. These winglets are not just for show and TVS claims 3kg of added downforce. Which makes a difference on a race track.
    TVS Apache RR 310 – Bomber Grey

    Updated TVS Apache RR 310 Launch On September 16th – What To Expect?

    2025 TVS Apache RR 310 Spied : Image – MotorradtheorymediaTVS is expected to launch the updated Apache RR 310cc on September 16th, packing the motorcycle with all the features from Apache RTR 310
    The first set of spy shots of an updated Apache RR 310 went viral on the internet recently. These spy shots showed updated bodywork with improved aerodynamics and is expected to get all the gadgetry and electronics that Apache RTR 310 has. Now, TVS has revealed an official launch date, which is set for 16th of September, 2024.
    Updated TVS Apache RR 310
    As seen in the official invite from TVS Motor, we can see the Chang Circuit in Thailand. The lap board shows a few interesting stats like the fastest lap of 1.49.742s and a top speed of 215.9 km/h. As of now, we are not sure whether these numbers are of the production-spec Apache RR 310 or a track-only derivative based on this motorcycle.
    Either way, these numbers demonstrate TVS’ rich racing heritage and pedigree. The company has been promoting safe motorsport activities for a very long time. In the invite, TVS has mentioned “Our machines have shattered records”. “Now they are crafted to redefine excellence”.
    Global premiere of this upcoming TVS Motor motorcycle will happen on 16th September, 3.30 PM IST. This upcoming motorcycle will get all the new electronics and features that we first saw on the Apache RTR 310. The cooled seat feature will probably make it to Apache RR 310 as well.
    2025 TVS Apache RR 310 Spied : Image – Motorradtheorymedia
    TVS has gone overboard with aerodynamics, this time around, and is even offering winglets at the front. These winglets aim to improve aerodynamics. Reducing wingtip vortices and stabilising the motorcycle during braking and cornering are the primary objectives of these winglets.
    Expected Specs & Attributes
    As far as powertrain is concerned, it will be powered by a 312.2 cc reverse-inclined liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor which kicks out 35.08 bhp of peak power and 28.7 Nm of peak torque, similar to Apache RTR 310. Features like a slipper clutch, TPMS, ride-by-wire throttle, a quick-shifter (Bi-directional), and cooled seat are expected features.
    Similar to Apache RTR 310, the updated TVS Apache RR 310 will feature a plethora of electronic rider aids included in the BTO packs. We’re talking about Dynamic stability control, Cornering ABS, Rear lift-off control, Cornering cruise control, Slope dependant control, Cruise control, Wheelie control and Cornering traction control among others.
    All these will be unlocked by a 6-axis IMU on this motorcycle. Bike’s specifications and features are not confirmed yet. More details regarding this motorcycle might emerge in the near future. When launched, it will be rivaling the likes of KTM RC390, Kawasaki Ninja 300, BMW G310 RR and others. More

    2025 TVS Apache RR 310 Spied Testing – Updated Styling, New Features Expected

    2025 TVS Apache RR 310 SpiedWhen compared to immediate rivals like KTM RC 390, Ninja Ninja 300 and Yamaha R3, 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 will be the most feature-rich
    When the first set of TVS Jupiter teasers went live, I wished the company rather updated the Apache RR 310 with all the electronics and powertrain improvements seen on Apache RTR 310. That’s exactly what TVS Motor seems to be doing as there is an Apache RR 310 test mule roaming in Hosur, near TVS manufacturing plant. This could be it.
    2025 TVS Apache RR 310 Spied
    Apache RR 310 was among the first motorcycles to come out of the strategic alliance between TVS Motor and BMW Motorrad. It featured an all-new platform and powertrain which was performance-oriented with an edge of sportiness.
    TVS launched the Apache RTR 310 last year and it featured an improved powertrain with more performance on tap. The main highlight of RTR 310, other than its street fighter styling, was the immense electronics suite never before seen on a motorcycle of its class. There are a few outlandish features like ventilated seats too.
    However, these electronics, features and powertrain updates never made it to Apache RR 310. TVS seems to be fixing this with a major update to RR 310, as suggested by the recent spy shots by motorradtheorymedia.
    2025 TVS Apache RR 310 Spied
    For starters, there are no major design changes seen on this particular test mule, suggesting that TVS could stick to the current silhouette. However, there are a few new elements seen on this particular test mule that will generate waves of debate and will be the talk of the motorcycling town. Of course, we’re talking about winglets attached on the sides.
    These winglets are usually seen on litre-class motorcycles and high-performance superbikes. The main aim of these winglets is to improve aerodynamics by reducing wingtip vortices and stabilising the motorcycle when braking and cornering. This is a new concept for a motorcycle powered by a 310cc single-cylinder engine in mainstream Indian motorcycle market.
    What to expect?
    Speaking of engine, 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 is highly likely to boast the same performance metrics as RTR 310 – 35.08 bhp of peak power and 28.7 Nm of peak power. Said test mule donned no camouflage, suggesting an imminent launch or it is just hiding in plain sight.
    TVS Apache RTR 310
    It has red plates registered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, suggesting that it is being tested by a third-party company. Probably for electronics. This is where the 2025 Apache RTR 310 gets more interesting. It is highly likely to get features like a slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle, TPMS, Bi-directional quick-shifter, and heated and cooled seat.
    TVS Motor will offer a 6-axis IMU on this motorcycle unlocking electronic rider aids like Dynamic stability control, Cornering ABS, Cruise control, Wheelie control, Cornering traction control, Rear lift-off control, Cornering cruise control, Slope dependant control and more. 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 looks like it is ready to be your next best friend for track days. Launch might happen soon.
