NEW DELHI: TVS lists the Ronin Base+ at Rs 1,42,990 ex-showroom Delhi. The recently detailed variant brings dual-channel ABS into a lower position in the Ronin range, alongside Sunlight Yellow and Desert Mirage finishes. TVS described the Base+ update in an official article dated 19 October 2026; that publication date should not be confused with a separately confirmed first-delivery date.

Price as of 8 November 2026, 23:30 IST. The figure is the motorcycle's listed ex-showroom price. Registration, insurance and selected accessories determine the final bill, and TVS expressly distinguishes these costs on its price page.
What the Base+ update actually changes
The meaningful addition is the position of dual-channel ABS within the range. TVS places Base+ above the standard base version and below its more expensive mid and top entries. For someone following the Ronin's recent update, the variant name therefore matters as much as the model badge when reading a quotation.
Sunlight Yellow and Desert Mirage give this version its own visual identity. The former uses a bright tank treatment against dark mechanical components, while the latter follows a quieter, earthy theme. These are the finishes TVS names for Base+, so a photograph of another Ronin colour is not evidence that the same specification has been quoted.
The manufacturer also identifies Showa upside-down front forks and an assist and slipper clutch in its Base+ explanation. Together, the changes put the story's emphasis on the motorcycle's controls and chassis equipment. A fresh paint scheme alone would not explain why this particular trim deserves attention.
The engine's useful number is its torque speed
TVS's separate engine explainer specifies a 225.9 cc oil-cooled engine and places its 19.9 Nm torque peak at 3,750 rpm. Those figures describe a different engineering priority from simply chasing a high peak-power number. The engine's displacement and the speed at which its torque arrives should be read together.
For an Indian commuter whose journey mixes a crowded market road with an open stretch, the relevant question is how readily the motorcycle responds after slowing down. An early torque peak makes that a sensible point to investigate on a demonstration ride. It cannot, by itself, establish acceleration times or prove how the bike will behave with a particular passenger and load.
The company describes Glide Through Technology as low-speed assistance delivered through fuel-injection adjustments as the clutch is gradually released. That is a useful distinction for this motorcycle: the system supports crawling, while the rider still operates a manual clutch. Its presence should not be mistaken for an automatic transmission.
Equipment needs a careful reading
The slipper function is intended to manage back-torque during abrupt downshifts, according to TVS. That is separate from ABS, which addresses braking. Reading these as different functions helps explain the package more clearly than treating every rider aid as another version of the same safety feature.
The Base+ article gives a 795 mm seat height. That offers a starting point for assessing reach, especially where a motorcycle will be shared between household members. It does not settle the fit question: the way a rider sits and puts a foot down is something to assess on the actual machine.
There is also a distinction between the broader Ronin family and this specific variant. Features mentioned elsewhere in a manufacturer's range should not automatically be added to a Base+ specification. The important paperwork is a quotation naming Base+, its colour and the equipment supplied with that motorcycle.
The Delhi chart lists the first 2CH MID entry at Rs 1,52,040. That places Base+ Rs 9,050 below that entry, by subtraction. This is a comparison of listed trim positions, not a claim that every other item of equipment is identical between the two versions.
Where this update fits
The Ronin's combination of an oil-cooled engine, an early torque peak and an accessible seat measurement gives this update a clear commuter-roadster context. It is a story about making chassis and braking equipment available at a particular point in an existing family, rather than evidence of an all-new engine or a change of motorcycle category.
