Price Changes and Market Position
The price adjustment makes the TVS Ronin, a unique offering from Chennai-based manufacturer TVS Motor Company, a more attractive option in the competitive 200-250cc segment. The base variant, the Ronin SS (Single Tone, Single-Channel ABS), sees the largest price drop of ₹14,330, bringing its ex-showroom price down to ₹1.25 lakh. The mid-spec Ronin DS (Dual Tone, Dual-Channel ABS) is now priced at ₹1.37 lakh, while the top-end Ronin TD (Triple Tone, Dual-Channel ABS) costs ₹1.47 lakh.
This new pricing places the Ronin in a strong position against its main competitor, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, which has a starting price of around ₹1.50 lakh. By undercutting the Hunter 350, TVS is directly targeting buyers looking for a modern-retro motorcycle with a good set of features and a comfortable riding experience. The price revision is expected to help boost the sales figures for the motorcycle.
