TVS Motor Company has registered "Ronin" as a product name in the national trademark register. Does this mean that we may soon see a new TVS motorcycle called Ronin? It might be! But there is no clarity on the type of "Ronin" on two wheels that it would be. We think it will be a motorcycle for sure and not a new scooter. The word "Ronin" is Japanese and in feudal Japan, when the samurai did not have a teacher and roamed the earth, they were called Ronin. It's no secret that TVS is working on a nude version of the Apache RR 310. The 2020 BS6 RR 310 is a good bike and a nude version of that, an older brother of the Apache RTR 200 4V would be welcome. The name Ronin could be for this motorcycle. The other model that could bear this name could be the production version of TVS Zeppelin cruise concept, which was presented at Auto Expo 2018.

Reports suggest that the TVS Zeppelin is about to be ready for production. And we wouldn't be surprised to see it become the Ronin in production form. TVS does not yet have a cruise ship or ADV in its range of models. The Zeppelin, when launched, will have a 220cc engine, probably a dull version of the 197cc engine of the Apache RTR 200.

It will also have power and torque outputs similar to the RTR 200 4V. TVS will position you as a premium motorcycle, so expect features like the built-in starter generator, the fully digital instrument console, Bluetooth connectivity, detailed navigation, LED lighting and other similar features. We expect the finished Zeppelin to be priced at 1.3 lakh (ex-showroom).
