24 Mar
Summary
- TVS Motor filed a design patent for a cafe racer based on the Ronin model.
- The new design closely resembles the 2024 Ronin Factory Custom cafe racer concept.
- The cafe racer features clip-on handlebars and a sporty riding posture.
TVS Motor Company has filed a design patent in India for a new cafe racer-style motorcycle, which appears to be based on the Ronin model. This filing strongly suggests the manufacturer is exploring a production version of a retro-sporty motorcycle derived from its 225cc platform.
The patented design closely aligns with the TVS Ronin Factory Custom cafe racer concept unveiled recently. This indicates TVS is moving forward with styling protection for the concept, hinting at production feasibility. The cafe racer variant features a distinct sporty riding position with clip-on handlebars and rear-set footpegs, differing from the standard Ronin's relaxed stance.
It is expected that the cafe racer will utilize the same 225cc engine found in the current Ronin, producing 20.4 hp and 19.9 Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The chassis, suspension, and braking hardware are also anticipated to be carried over. The primary focus for this model appears to be on its unique design and ergonomic enhancements rather than significant performance upgrades.
