TVS Motor Company Registers 'Ronin' Trademark

TVS Motor Company has registered 'Ronin' as a product name with the National Trademark Registry. So does this mean we could see a new TVS motorcycle named Ronin launching soon? Could be! But there is no clarity on what kind of a two-wheeler 'Ronin' would be. We believe that it will be a motorcycle for sure and not a new scooter. The word 'Ronin' is Japanese and in feudal Japan when samurais did not have a master and wandered across the land, they were called Ronin. It is no secret that TVS is working on a naked version of the Apache RR 310. The 2020 BS6 RR 310 is a good motorcycle and a naked version of that, an elder sibling of the Apache RTR 200 4V would be very welcome. The name Ronin could be for this motorcycle. The other model that could carry this nameplated could be the production version of the TVS Zeppelin cruiser concept, which was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo.

Reports suggest that the TVS Zeppelin is close to being ready for production. And we wouldn't be surprised to see it becoming the Ronin in the production form. TVS doesn't have a cruiser or an ADV in its model line up yet. The Zeppelin, when launched, will have a 220 cc engine, probably a bored out version of the Apache RTR 200's 197 cc motor.

It will have similar power and torque outputs as the RTR 200 4V as well. TVS will position it as a premium motorcycle so expect features like integrated starter generator, fully digital instrument console, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, LED lighting and other such features. We expect the finished Zeppelin to be priced at Rs. 1.3 lakh (ex-showroom) or so.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.
