Expect TVS to pack the Ronin with high-end equipment such as upside-down front forks, monoshock rear suspension, a single disc at the front and the rear assisted by a dual-channel ABS system, a circular-shaped instrument cluster, a large fuel tank, etc. It could be priced around Rs. 1.6 lakh (ex-showroom). The premium motorcycle segment will see plenty of action this month as well.
