The festive season is almost here, and TVS is making sure its premium motorcycle lineup gets a little extra attention. The company has rolled out a series of updates across its Apache and Ronnin range, bringing new features, colors, and variants to the table. But before you expect an all-new motorcycle, there is a catch -TVS hasn’t made any major mechanical changes. Instead, the focus is largely on technology, safety, convenience, and a fresh festive season look.
Apache 160 Gets the TCS
Starting with the Apache 160, TVS has added a Traction Control System (TCS) to the dual-channel ABS variant. The motorcycle also gets hazard lights and LED indicators. It is available in four color combinations, including Matte Black and Pearl White with Red Alloy wheels, also with Arctic Teal and Granite Grey. The refreshed motorcycle is priced at ₹ 1.28 lakh onwards.
RTR 160 4V Gets a TFT Upgrade.
The Apache RTR 160 4V gets more tech-focused updates. The motorcycle now comes with a TFT display with Google Maps mirroring, along with a panic brake alert and a type-C charging port. The updated motorcycle starts at ₹ 1.414 lakh (ex-showroom) and gets four color options: Arctic Teal with Champagne Gold alloy wheels, Matte Black, Racing red and Marine blue.
RTR 200 4V Gets Adjustable USDs
The bigger Apache RTR200 4V gets a more rider-focused upgrade with front-adjustable USD suspension. Along with this, it gets the TFT display with Google Mirroring, Panic Brake Alert, and a Type C charger. New color options include: Sepang Blue with red alloy wheels, Armoury Green, Racing Red, and Matte Black. The price starts at 1.499 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Apache 310 Range Goes Dark
The flagship Apache 310 twins are getting into a festive mood with the new Black Diamond Editions Both the Apache RR310 and Apache 310 get an all-black treatment and new livery. The RR310 also gets Keyless Ride technology, which was already available on the RTR 310. Prices start at 2.878 lakh for the RR310 and 2.490 lakh for the RTR 310 ex showroom Delhi.

Ronin Gets A New Variant
The TVS Ronnin also joins the festive update list. A new BASE-+ variant is introduced, which gets Dual-Channel ABS and a new livery. The mid variant gets a connected cluster and a type C charger, while the top variant gets TCS, type C charging, and a premium seat Two new colors are Sunlit yellow and Desert Mirage. Prices range from 1.425 lak to 1.636 lakh, ex showroom Delhi.
So, what’s the big takeaway? Don’t expect a radically different Apache or Ronin. TVS has largely played with features and color games this festive season. The motorcycles continue with their existing core character, while the additional safety equipment, connectivity features, convenience upgrades, and fresh liveries make the lineup more appealing. For the buyers already considering an Apache or Ronin, these small updates add a little more value to their purchase.
Editor’s Note
TVS has taken a sensible approach with these festive updates. Instead of chasing cosmetic changes alone, the company has added equipment that buyers can actually use every day. Features such as traction control, dual-channel ABS, TFT connectivity, Type-C charging and adjustable USD forks strengthen the Apache and Ronin range without altering their familiar character.
The Apache RTR 200 4V, in particular, benefits from a more meaningful hardware upgrade, while the Black Diamond treatment gives the Apache 310 twins some added visual drama. The Ronin’s new BASE+ variant also makes its safety package more accessible. These aren’t transformative updates, but they don’t need to be. For buyers already considering one of these motorcycles, the refreshed features, colours and additional safety equipment make the overall package more convincing this festive season.
