The Ronin 225 marks TVS’ entry into the premium lifestyle motorcycle segment in Nepal. Priced at Rs 4.49 Lakh, the Ronin is offered in a singular TD version in Nepal.

The TVS Ronin comes with a 225.9cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that is good for 20bhp of peak power and 19.9Nm of peak torque. The engine has been tuned to provide a flat torque curve and plenty of meat in the low and mid-range. As a result, TVS claims that riders will not have to shift as often. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox with a slip and assisted clutch.

In terms of styling features, the modern retro motorcycle gets all LED lamps with T-shaped DRLs, asymmetric speedometer and 9-spoke alloy wheels.

The Ronin is suspended via 41mm Showa big-piston forks up front and a gas-charged mono shock at the rear. You also get 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends that are shod with tubeless block tread tires. Braking is done via a 300mm disc brake at the front and a 240mm disc at the back.
