TVS Ronin Parakram edition unveiled

To commemorate 25 years of Kargil Vijay Diwas, TVS has unveiled a custom-built version of the Ronin called The Ronin Parakram. It features a number of cosmetic changes, but remains mechanically identical to the original bike.

1. Gets a range of custom made parts
2. One off motorcycle, unlikely to go on sale
3. Engine remains unchanged

The TVS Ronin Parakram’s livery features an olive green tank with silver accents on top. There is also a pinstripe of the Indian flag that flows from the headlight to the tank. The mudguards, knee recesses and side panels have paintings of the soldiers of the Kargil war. The left-side cover features a circular lamp that illuminates the number 99 in yellow.

Unlike the standard Ronin, the Ronin Parakram has a single suede leather seat. The handlebar grips also get the suede leather treatment. The rear subframe has been shortened and a stainless steel luggage carrier has been fitted. While the same alloy wheels have been retained, the Parakram gets knobby tyres, which give it a more rugged appearance. The indicators are made of brass and are bullet-shaped. A silver windscreen also has been added on top of the headlight.

While the TVS Ronin Parakram gets a stylish makeover, the motorcycle remains mechanically unchanged. It has an air/oil-cooled 225.9cc, single-cylinder engine that puts out 20.4hp at 7,750rpm and 19.93Nm at 3,750rpm, and comes paired to a 5-speed gearbox. The suspension setup consists of a USD fork and a preload-adjustable monoshock. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes on both ends with dual-channel ABS.
