Overview
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, TVS has unveiled a special custom version of its Ronin motorcycle, named The Ronin Parakram. This unique edition features several cosmetic enhancements but retains the original bike’s mechanical specifications.
Custom Design Features
- Livery and Artwork: The Ronin Parakram is distinguished by its olive green tank with silver accents and a pinstripe of the Indian flag that runs from the headlight to the tank. The bike’s mudguards, knee recesses, and side panels display artwork of Kargil war soldiers. A distinctive circular lamp on the left-side cover illuminates the number 99 in yellow.
- Seat and Accessories: Unlike the standard model, the Parakram sports a single suede leather seat and suede leather handlebar grips. The rear subframe has been shortened, and a stainless steel luggage carrier has been installed. The bike’s alloy wheels are fitted with knobby tyres, enhancing its rugged appearance. Brass, bullet-shaped indicators and a silver windscreen complete the custom look.
