TVS Ronin Parakram unveiled with armed forces-inspired updates: Can you own one?

As a tribute to the Indian Armed Forces, TVS Motor Company has unveiled the Ronin Parakram, a custom-built motorcycle, to mark the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas. This special edition motorcycle is designed to honour the brave soldiers who fought in the Kargil War of 1999.

TVS Ronin Parakram: What’s new

The Ronin Parakram is customised by the East India Motorcycle Revolution Customs. Among its standout features, the bike sports a modified rear section, with the subframe trimmed and a stainless steel luggage carrier added at the back. The bike is equipped with knobby tires, giving it a more rugged, all-terrain look. Besides that, both the front and rear mudguards feature painted graphics, showing the bravery of the Kargil heroes.


The motorcycle's indicators are made from brass and look exactly like bullets. The left side cover features a circular lamp that illuminates with a yellow hue, displaying the number 99. Moreover, the bike’s seat and handle grips are wrapped in suede leather.

What really stands out in the Ronin Parakram is its unique paintwork. The top of the tank is painted to resemble steel armour, featuring the Kargil Diwas logo. The knee recesses are olive green, featuring images of the Kargil War. The tank also proudly displays the Indian tricolour, extending up to the headlamp unit. Besides that, the bike continues to feature a 41 mm upside-down fork at the front and a mono-shock at the rear, along with disc brakes on both wheels.

TVS Ronin Parakram: Engine

Underneath its customized body, the Ronin Parakram retains the same powertrain as the standard TVS Ronin. It is powered by a 225.9cc single-cylinder engine, delivering 20.4 hp and 19.93 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
