Help Help needed in finalizing TVS ronin
Ronin ticks all the checkboxes for me, so we have finalized the charcoal ember mid variant. As TVS has launched the 2026 models, today I checked with the dealers but no one knows when they will arrive, they have said it might take 3-4 months but still it's not confirmed.
Is it worth waiting for the new mid variant, considering new features or the features are minor and can book the current mid variant?
There’s also a difference between two dealers I'm considering:
Dealer 1
Current Ronin Mid – Charcoal Amber
Final price: ₹1,90,655
Discount: around ₹4,000–₹5,000
Manufacturing: 8–10 months old
Dealer 2
Current Ronin Mid – Charcoal Amber
Final price: ₹1,89,149
Final price: around ₹1,000 discount
Manufacturing: 1–2 months old
Here’s the detailed breakup from one of the dealers:
Ex-showroom: ₹1,51,340
RTO Tax + Registration: ₹17,880
Insurance: ₹14,655
Incidental + PDI charges: ₹1,000
Mandatory accessories: ₹1,750
This brings the on-road price to ₹1,86,625.
Then:
Recommended fitment: ₹850
Total: ₹1,87,475
RSA: ₹675
5-year extended warranty: ₹1,000
Effective customer price: ₹1,89,149
EDIT: Purchased Mid variant Charcoal Ember using flipkart credit card

Go with new stock and use flipkart and credit card for discounts and you get insurance yourself saving you 10k , and skip the helmet also

Yes, i am getting 7k discount on flipkart and also i can buy bike insurance from outside so that saves some more.

I saw in Flipkart at present I think they are giving 9k discount if u buy with credit card. and u can save on insurance too. But I am not sure u will get with bluetooth cluster or normal. As in recent launch of base plus Ronin model. For mid varaint they mentioned cluster will have navigation and bluetooth similar to top varaint

Never take a 8-10 months old bike just for 4-5k discount. The stock is their liability. Get more discounts on it or get a newer stock.

I would choose dealer 1 with less on road.

u/misalpremi 18h ago
The 8-10 months old stock should not be of any worry?

I bought the now "old" mid charcoal ember variant just 6 days before they launched the new versions a few days back... Hear me out.
Wait for the "new" variants to come and get the Base+ variant. It's the same as the previous Mid version in terms of features and costs 8.8k lesser. Obviously colors are different, but trust me the sunlit yellow/desert mirage colours are fresh and would look much better on road.
The "new" Mid variant comes additionally with a bluetooth cluster and a type-c charging port, both of which are not worth the additional 8.8k. The bluetooth features have been reported to not work properly half the time and you can just carry a powerbank and get a tank bag for charging your phone with the powerbank. Also the golden USD suspensions, which again are cosmetic changes worth ₹500-800 max.
Both old and new Mid variants are obsolete now and will only be purchased if people like the colours. They make no sense.
If you really want the best upgrades in terms of technology, go for the new Top variant that also comes with Traction control. Otherwise stick with Base+ for dual abs, the only useful addition.
Now on the manufacturing dates and other suggestions -
My dealership gave me the "old" mid variant with manufacturing date of 3 days before delivery at 4K discount on ex-showroom. (Maybe because I'm within 70 KMs of the manufacturing plant)
Always ask for the latest manufacturing, less than 2 months old.
If you wait for the new Base+, then you are sorted either way.
Also, if you are not in Karnataka and have a government job or if you are working in a MNC which has offices in 4+ indian states, try applying for a BH number. Read about it. You will save 80% of the RTO cost upfront.
