TVS Ronin Agonda Edition Launched at ₹1.31 Lakh — Beach-Inspired Retro Roadster

The new TVS Ronin Agonda Edition marks a fresh turn for the Ronin lineup — combining its proven 225.9 cc mechanics with a unique, Goa-inspired visual identity. Launched at the 2025 MotoSoul 5.0 festival, the Agonda Edition delivers a distinct modern-retro aesthetic without changing the core performance package, giving riders a stylish alternative to the standard Ronin.

Engine & Performance

Under the skin, the Agonda Edition remains mechanically identical to the regular TVS Ronin. It uses a 225.9 cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, oil-cooled engine that churns out 20.4 PS (or about 20.1 bhp per some reports) at 7,750 rpm and 19.93 Nm at 3,750 rpm. The engine mates to a 5-speed gearbox with an assist & slipper clutch — a combination that ensures smooth, controlled shifts and reduces lever effort, especially in city traffic.

This setup makes the Ronin Agonda well-suited for both daily commuting and relaxed weekend rides. The balance between moderate power and manageable torque means it can cruise comfortably around city traffic, yet handle open-road stretches without undue strain.

Chassis & Handling

The Agonda rides on the same well-engineered chassis as the standard Ronin — a double-cradle split-synchro-stiff frame that offers a good balance of rigidity and compliance. Upfront, 41 mm upside-down forks handle suspension duties, while at the rear there’s a monoshock with 7-step preload adjustment, letting riders fine-tune ride comfort based on load and terrain.

Braking comes from a 300 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc, with single-channel ABS as standard (consistent with the base-spec Ronin). With 17-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tyres on both ends, the Agonda maintains good stability and predictable handling, even on patched or uneven Indian roads.

Technology & Features

Despite being a style-focused special edition, the Ronin Agonda doesn’t skimp on modern features. It retains the Ronin’s signature round, asymmetrical digital LCD instrument console, which displays essential info like speed, gear position, dual trip meters, odometer, fuel-range estimator, and service reminders.

Also onboard are convenience-enhancing aids like the assist & slipper clutch — helpful in stop-start city traffic and for smoother downshifts — as well as adjustable levers to suit different rider preferences.

It’s worth noting that the Agonda Edition’s changes are purely cosmetic. Mechanically and feature-wise, it mirrors the base Ronin.

Styling & Design — What Makes Agonda Edition Stand Out

What really differentiates the Agonda is its design. Inspired by the laid-back vibe of Agonda Beach in Goa, TVS has given this variant a glossy white fuel tank and headlamp cowl, accented by striking retro-inspired five-stripe graphics in red and blue. The fuel tank also carries bold “Agonda” badging, and the side panels remain black for contrast.

Completing the look are red pinstripes on the black alloy wheels and a new seat cover with red stitching, bringing a bespoke, custom-built feel straight from the factory.

Priced at ₹1,30,990–₹1,31,000 (ex-showroom), the Agonda Edition carries a modest premium — roughly ₹5,300 more than the base Lightning Black variant of the Ronin.

Why This Edition Matters

With the Agonda Edition, TVS isn’t trying to overhaul the Ronin — it’s embracing a growing trend in India: custom-culture motorcycling. By offering a special-look variant out-of-the-box, TVS caters to riders who value individuality and aesthetics along with practicality. The Agonda Edition gives them a way to stand out without compromising on proven performance, comfort or reliability.

Conclusion

The TVS Ronin Agonda Edition offers the same reliable 225.9 cc mechanical underpinnings and balanced chassis as the standard Ronin — but wraps them in a fresh, Goa-inspired design that speaks to riders who care about style as much as substance. For city commuters who want a head-turner for weekend rides, or for young urban motorcyclists seeking a distinctive, lifestyle-oriented option in the 225 cc-class, the Agonda delivers real value. With its blend of proven performance, confident handling, and unique retro-modern looks at an accessible price, the Ronin Agonda Edition stands out as a compelling choice in India’s mid-capacity motorcycle market.
