Buy protection first, luggage second, and comfort or lighting last. For most Ronin owners that means a crash guard with sliders and a radiator guard before anything else, then a carrier sized to the weight you actually carry, then a visor and lights if your rides get long. A commuter can stop after step one. A tourer needs all of it, and the weight arithmetic below decides how much luggage is sensible.
This guide is about order and sizing, not a catalogue. Live stock, variants and model year fitment for every part sit on our TVS Ronin accessories collection page. What follows is how to decide what to pick from it.
Start With the Bike's Own Numbers
The Ronin runs a 225.9cc oil cooled single that makes 20.4 PS at 7,750 rpm and 19.93 Nm at 3,750 rpm. Kerb weight is about 160 kg, ground clearance is 181mm, the seat sits at 795mm, and the tank holds 14 litres with 2.8 litres of that as reserve. Published specs also list a gross weight of 311 kg.
That last figure is the one most accessory guides skip, and it changes how you shop. Gross weight minus kerb weight leaves roughly 150 kg for everything the bike carries on top of itself: you, a pillion, and every bag.
Here is a worked example. A 75 kg rider and a 65 kg pillion add up to 140 kg. That leaves about 10 kg for luggage, and it is the same 10 kg whether the bags sit on a carrier or on saddle stays. Ride solo and you have far more room. Ride two up and the budget gets tight quickly, so a big top box is the wrong first purchase. This is arithmetic from published figures, not a measured test, so treat it as a planning limit and leave yourself margin.
Daily Riding: Protect the Bike First
City riding rarely ends in a dramatic crash. It ends in a parking lot drop, a slow tip over in traffic, or a stone flicked up by the vehicle ahead. A crash guard with sliders handles the first two. It will not save a bike in a highway fall, and it is worth being honest about that, but it earns its cost in the low speed incidents that actually happen.
On our collection the crash guard options run from Rs. 3,099 to Rs. 4,800, with the HT Exhaust crash guard with two metal sliders at Rs. 3,600 and the MotoCare dual slider guard at Rs. 4,800.
The Ronin cools its engine oil through a large radiator mounted at the front, which is exactly where road debris lands. A radiator guard costs Rs. 700 and is the cheapest insurance on the whole list.
If you want both, price the combination before buying separately. A crash guard at Rs. 3,600 plus a radiator guard at Rs. 700 comes to Rs. 4,300 with no fluid tank cap. The HT Exhaust combo of crash guard, radiator guard and fluid tank cap is Rs. 4,100.
One more daily rider item: the Flash X hazard module is Rs. 1,299 on sale. It matters most if your commute includes fast roads where being seen when you slow suddenly counts. While you are sorting daily gear, a certified helmet matters more than any accessory here, and our guide to the best bike helmets for daily riding in India covers that choice.
Touring: Carry Less Than You Think
Touring accessories are where buyers overspend, because the carrier is easy to buy and the weight limit is easy to ignore. Start from the payload figure above, then pick hardware to match.
For a tail bag or small top box, a plain rack is enough. The HT Exhaust top rack is Rs. 2,600 and the pipe carrier is Rs. 3,200. Carriers state their own load limits, and they are modest. The Moto Torque Ronin back carrier, for example, is described as taking a top box or bags up to 5 kg. Stay under whatever the listing says, even if the bike itself could carry more.
If you ride with a pillion, the pipe carrier with backrest at Rs. 4,500 gives them something to lean on over long days. For soft saddle bags, a saddle stay with plate at Rs. 3,000 keeps the bags clear of the exhaust and the rear wheel.
Check the model year before you order. Some listings are split into 2024 and 2025 versions, and at least one rack with saddle stay is marked as fitting up to 2024. Matching the year takes a minute and saves a return.
For wind protection, the polycarbonate visor is Rs. 2,800 in clear, smoke or black. With a top speed in the region of 120 km/h, you will spend long stretches at 80 to 100, which is where wind pressure on the chest and helmet starts to tire you. A visor helps, though how much depends on your height and riding position, so do not expect the same result for everyone.
If you plan night rides, the fog light clamp at Rs. 1,300 gives you a mounting point. It holds the lights and does not include them. Our guide to auxiliary lights for motorcycles in India explains what to buy to go with it.
Range Is a Planning Number Too
Fuel planning belongs here because it decides how often you stop to rest, which in turn decides how much you can carry comfortably. A claimed 42 kmpl on a full 14 litres suggests about 590 km, and that is the wrong number to plan with. Usable fuel before reserve is 11.2 litres.
At 30 kmpl that is about 336 km. At 35 kmpl it is about 392 km, and at 40 kmpl about 448 km. Real world mileage with luggage and a pillion tends to sit at the lower end, so plan stops every 300 km or so and treat anything beyond that as a bonus. Again, this is arithmetic from the published tank figures, not a road test.
Three Sample Budgets
Prices below use the listed prices at the time of writing and will shift, so confirm on the product pages.
- Daily rider: crash guard, radiator guard and fluid tank cap combo at Rs. 4,100. Add the hazard module and it comes to Rs. 5,399.
- Solo tourer: the same combo plus a pipe carrier at Rs. 3,200 and a visor at Rs. 2,800, for Rs. 10,100.
- Two up tourer: the combo plus a pipe carrier with backrest at Rs. 4,500 and the visor, for Rs. 11,400. Add saddle stays at Rs. 3,000 if you carry soft bags.
Buying Motorcycle Accessories Online Without the Usual Problems
Most complaints about buying bike accessories online India wide fall into the same few buckets: the parcel arrives late, the part has a manufacturing defect, or it gets damaged in transit. Those are the problems Moto Modz is organised around solving. We built the store to get accessories and spares to your door quickly, and we serve riders through Amazon and Flipkart as well as directly through this store.
A few habits help on your side too. Check live stock status on the collection page, because a pre order item ships when stock arrives and a sold out item will not ship at all. Match the model year before checkout. Look the parcel over when it arrives, and raise any damage straight away. Our shipping policy and returns policy spell out how each case is handled.
FAQs
What are the best accessories for the TVS Ronin?
For protection, a crash guard with sliders and a radiator guard. For touring, a carrier matched to your luggage weight, plus a visor. For daily riding, a hazard module is a useful extra.
Do I need a crash guard on a TVS Ronin for daily riding?
It is worth having. Most city incidents are low speed drops and tip overs, which a crash guard with sliders is designed to take. It will not protect the bike in a serious highway crash.
How much luggage can a TVS Ronin carry?
With a gross weight of 311 kg and a kerb weight of about 160 kg, you have roughly 150 kg for riders and luggage combined. After a 75 kg rider and a 65 kg pillion, only about 10 kg remains. Always stay within the limit stated for your carrier.
Which carrier suits touring on a TVS Ronin?
For solo riding with a tail bag, a pipe carrier or top rack is enough. With a pillion, the carrier with backrest is more comfortable. For soft bags, saddle stays keep them away from the exhaust and wheel.
Will accessories for the 2024 or 2025 Ronin fit an older model?
Not always. Several listings are split by model year, and one rack is marked for fitment up to 2024. Check the year on the listing before you order.
How far can a TVS Ronin go on a tank?
Using 11.2 litres of usable fuel before reserve, expect roughly 336 to 448 km at 30 to 40 kmpl. Planning stops around 300 km is a safe habit.
