TVS Motor has refreshed its Apache and Ronin motorcycle range in India with new features, variants and colours ahead of the 2026 festive season. Deliveries in India have started, so these updates are already on sale there.

Where this sits against TVS Nepal’s current range

In Nepal, TVS Apache RR 310 is listed at Rs 8 lakh ex-showroom, while the Ronin range sits around Rs 4.50 lakh–Rs 4.70 lakh and the Ronin 225 at Rs 4.60 lakh. The Apache RTR 200 4V is Rs 3.94 lakh–Rs 4.25 lakh, and the Apache RTR 160 4V spans Rs 3.39 lakh–Rs 4 lakh across four variants. These India changes do not yet have confirmed Nepal prices or launch timing, but they point to the kind of tech upgrades that could appear on future imports.

Apache RTR 160: more safety on the top variant

The Apache RTR 160 in India now gets a top variant with Traction Control System, dual-channel ABS, hazard lights and LED indicators. This builds on the Nepal RTR 160 range, where buyers today see prices between Rs 3.14 lakh and Rs 3.85 lakh for different trims.

Apache RTR 160 4V: TFT screen and navigation

For the Apache RTR 160 4V, TVS has added a TFT display with Google Maps mirroring, Panic Brake Alert and a Type-C charging port. In India this comes as a higher feature variant, while in Nepal the current Apache RTR 160 4V line-up runs from Rs 3.39 lakh to Rs 4 lakh, including FI, ABS and Special Edition trims.

Apache RTR 200 4V: tech and adjustable USD fork

The Apache RTR 200 4V in India now also gets a TFT display with Google Maps mirroring, Panic Brake Alert and a Type-C charger, along with an adjustable front USD fork. In Nepal, the RTR 200 4V ABS is Rs 3.94 lakh and the RTR 200 4V RTFI BS6 is Rs 4.25 lakh, so a similar update here would sit just above the present top-spec bike.

Apache RR 310 and RTR 310 Black Diamond Editions

TVS has introduced Black Diamond Editions of the Apache RR 310 and Apache RTR 310 in India. These are based on the top quickshifter-equipped variants and use an all-black finish. The RR 310 Black Diamond adds Keyless Ride, a feature the RTR 310 already offers in India. In Nepal, the TVS RR 310 is currently listed at Rs 8 lakh ex-showroom, with no Black Diamond Edition yet confirmed.

Ronin range: new Base+ and more equipment

The TVS Ronin line-up in India now has a new Base+ variant with dual-channel ABS, positioned as a safer entry point into the range. Above it, the Mid variant gains a connected instrument cluster and a Type-C charging port, while the Top variant adds traction control, a Type-C charger and a premium seat. In Nepal today, Ronin prices sit between Rs 4.50 lakh and Rs 4.70 lakh, and the Ronin 225 is at Rs 4.60 lakh, with single-channel ABS and simpler instrumentation.

TVS has also rolled out new colour options across all of these updated Indian models, but there are no major mechanical changes reported. For Nepali buyers, the key takeaway is that TVS is moving its Apache and Ronin platforms toward more safety and connectivity, and if these variants reach Nepal, they are likely to sit above today’s top trims in both price and equipment.

Verdict: for Nepal, this is an India-side tech refresh that signals the next feature wave for TVS’s Apache and Ronin bikes, but local launch, variants and prices remain unconfirmed.
