TVS has launched the limited‑run Ronin Agonda Edition, a beach‑inspired special that keeps the Ronin’s 225.9cc engine and features but adds a white base, retro blue‑red stripes, premium seat trim, and a price of around ₹1.31 lakh (ex‑showroom).
Quick guide — who this edition is for and key decision points
- Key considerations: Do you want a style‑led, limited‑edition look over mechanical changes? Are you buying for daily use or as a collectible/statement bike?
- Decision points: Choose the Agonda if unique styling and limited‑edition appeal matter more than performance upgrades; stick with the standard Ronin if you prioritise cost or colour choice.
- Who should consider it: urban riders who value custom‑culture aesthetics, TVS brand fans, and buyers seeking a distinctive, beach‑inspired look without sacrificing practicality.
What’s new and what stays the same
The Agonda Edition is a styling package inspired by Agonda Beach in Goa: a glossy white base with retro five‑stripe graphics, ‘Agonda’ badging on the tank, and a revised seat with red stitching that gives the Ronin a relaxed, coastal vibe. TVS launched this variant at MotoSoul 5.0 as the first in a planned series of limited builds that lean into the Ronin’s custom‑culture identityThe Times of India+1. Mechanically, the bike is unchanged: it retains the Ronin’s 225.9‑cc single‑cylinder engine producing about 20.4 PS and 19.93 Nm, mated to a 5‑speed gearbox with slipper‑assist clutch.
Design and ergonomics: relaxed, retro‑modern
The Agonda’s visual direction is deliberately laid‑back: white headlamp housing, sweeping retro stripes, and lighter visual cues that contrast with the Ronin’s usual urban‑rough persona. The upright riding position, seat height of 795 mm, and a kerb weight around 159–160 kg keep the bike accessible and easy to ride in traffic. TVS retains the Ronin’s asymmetric digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, so you get modern convenience alongside the new liveryBikeDekho.
Pricing and availability
TVS has priced the Agonda Edition at ₹1,30,990–₹1.31 lakh (ex‑showroom) and is offering it as a limited run with bookings through dealerships and online; deliveries were expected soon after the MotoSoul reveal. That positions the Agonda as a modest premium over standard colours while keeping the Ronin’s value proposition intact.
Trade‑offs, risks, and ownership notes
- No mechanical upgrades: The Agonda is a cosmetic special; don’t expect performance or suspension changes.
- Limited edition premium: The styling comes at a small price premium; resale value depends on market appetite for special editions. If you prefer long‑term practicality over collectibility, the standard Ronin may be a better buy.
- After‑sales and parts: TVS’s service network is strong, but special trims can sometimes complicate cosmetic repairs—check availability of replacement panels and seat covers if you plan heavy use.
Final take
The TVS Ronin Agonda Edition is a smart, well‑executed style pack that gives the Ronin a breezy, coastal personality without altering the bike’s proven mechanicals. If you want a Ronin that stands out at the café or on a coastal ride, the Agonda is an attractive, limited‑edition choice; if you prioritise performance upgrades or the lowest possible price, the standard Ronin remains the practical option
