TVS Ronin: Best Variant To Buy This Diwali
2026 TVS Ronin comes in four variants at varying price points and different feature-sets
TVS reshuffled the Ronin range in September 2026. It added a new Base+ variant and the top and mid variant also got some feature updates. With this, the tvs ronin now runs from roughly Rs 1.30 lakh to Rs 1.64 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Here is what each variant offers and which one suits you.

One Bike, Four Personalities
Every Ronin variant has the same heart, the same frame and the same looks. That means the same 225.9 cc air-oil-cooled single making 20.4 PS and 19.93 Nm, a 5-speed gearbox with an assist-and-slipper clutch, a 160 kg kerb weight and a 795 mm seat. The design is neo-retro, with a round LED headlamp, T-shaped DRLs, a 14-litre tank and a contoured single-piece seat.
We found the build quality, the low-end pull and the nimble handling to be good. That said, there are vibrations above about 90 kmph, and the brake bite could’ve been harder. The pillion seat could also offer better comfort.

The hardware is the same across the range, so the one thing that changes here is the ABS. That makes the Base+ the cheapest way into dual-channel ABS

The LCD console shows speed, rpm, gear position, distance to empty, average speed, fuel level and dual tripmeters. What differs is the connectivity on the Mid and Top. Adjustable brake and clutch levers are reserved for the higher variants too.
BikeDekho’s Verdict
The decision to buy the best TVS Ronin variant comes down to features rather than performance. For most buyers this Diwali, the Base+ is the smartest buy, since a small premium over the Base gets you dual-channel ABS.
Pick the Mid if you'd use turn-by-turn navigation daily. Traction control is not critical for a bike that’s not built for out-and-out performance, but go for the top variant only if you like the colours, and want the best of the best. Whichever you choose, check the final on-road price and Diwali offers with your dealer, and take a test ride before you book.
