The Jupiter 125 is the company’s first 125cc scooter geared for families, as opposed to the TVS NTorq 125, which is more adventurous and aimed toward younger consumers.
The TVS Jupiter 125 has the most under-seat space in its class, the first apron-mounted gasoline tank lid, and a few more qualities that make it quite useful. The scooter has advanced features, making riding more comfortable and pockets less heavy.
The headlight, taillight, and DRLs of the TVS Jupiter 125 are all LEDs. You receive a semi-digital cruise control with an odometer, clock, low voltage indication, helmet reminder, triple trip metres, real-time and average mileage, distance to empty, and fuel gauge.
Two ISI-certified helmets may fit in the spacious 33-litre under-seat storage compartment, which has a retractable hook, a two-litre cubbyhole on the apron, and an integrated charging point. An interesting feature that makes refuelling simple is that the gasoline tank cap sits on the apron.
The Jupiter 125 receives a redesigned chassis, supported by a three-step preload-adjustable gas-charged rear mono-shock and a telescopic front fork. It has 12-inch wheels with 90-section tyres on each end that roll the vehicle.
The 125cc scooter weighs 2 kg more than the 110cc scooter, at 109 kg.
On October 7, 2021, the all-new Jupiter 125 was unveiled.
A new 124.8 cc single-cylinder, two-valve engine producing 8.3PS at 6000 rpm and 10.5Nm at 4500 rpm powers the TVS Jupiter 125. The engine is mated to an automatic CVT. The two-wheeler has a 42 km/l fuel economy and a peak speed of 95 km/h.
For the first two varieties of this new model scooter, 130mm drum brakes are for stopping, while the disc variant comes standard with a 220mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum brake.
By releasing a more powerful version of its most popular scooter, Jupiter, TVS has raised the bar.
The suspension components comprise a telescopic fork and a three-step preload-adjustable gas-charged mono-shock.
The new Jupiter 125 has the same design as its smaller sister, but it seems bigger. It has a flowing design and few ostentatious components; thus, it has a traditional appearance. The fascia is similar to the smaller Jupiter, but TVS has added a set of LED DRLs to make it stand out.
Additionally, there is a tonne of glitter and chrome embellishments on the front apron and side body panels. The rear features an LED taillight and grab grips with body colour (with an integrated reflector). All of the features give the bike a posh appearance.
The TVS Jupiter 125 is designed for convenience, pleasure, and fuel efficiency, and it intends to be a family scooter with a larger appeal and a variety of clients. The scooter also receives an entirely new design, chassis, and features, giving it a new appeal.
The company claims the two-valve engine is brand-new and not shared with TVS sporty 125 cc scooter, the TVS NTorq 125. It helps TVS Motor Company take a piece of the booming 125 cc scooter category.
The scooter has a recognisable appearance with its straightforward style, top-mounted LED headlight, and front apron-mounted indicators. However, the model now has LED guidelights for the indicators, giving it a fresh new look.
To appeal to a wide audience and keep in mind its target market, the TVS Jupiter 125 has an overall conservative appearance. The bigger taillight has the same LED design as the headlight.
The latest TVS Jupiter 125 is available in nine different and beautiful colours:
The three variants of TVS Jupiter 125 include:
The engine has a stated top speed of 90 Kmph and performs smoothly and elegantly. The single-cylinder, 124.8 cc, the two-valve engine produces 10.5 Nm of maximum torque at 4,500 rpm and 8.04 horsepower at 6,500 rpm.
The gasoline tank is relocated below the footboard, and the fuel filling cap is now up front and on the left side of the front apron. Inside the front apron are panels in body colour. The multi-function ignition key is next to a USB charging port.
The seat is 65 mm longer overall than the one on the Jupiter 110, thanks to increases of 25 mm for the rider and 40 mm for the passenger. They are neutral and pleasant, and the ergonomics provide universal comfort for riders of all heights and builds.
The revolutionary Jupiter 125 raises the bar for functionality. It includes a front gasoline filling cap, a 33-litre under-seat storage compartment that leads its class, a 2-litre front cubby with a USB outlet, and a multi-function key. i-TOUCH start or an ACG starter offers a silent and instant start to the scooter.
The scooter also has a stop-start mechanism and a silent startup to maximise productivity in heavy traffic. The braking power gets 130mm drum brakes featuring integrated braking technology as a standard feature or a 220mm front disc if you choose the premium model.
Unquestionably, the TVS Jupiter 125’s USP is its feature list, which not only adds value but also improves the user experience, which is a necessary condition for customers in this market. However, the real world will be its true test, and we are confident that its head-to-head matchup with the Access 125 and Activa 125 will be entertaining. The scooter thrilled us during our first ride at the test track.
After a few days with the scooter, which included manoeuvring through traffic and a crowded market, its agile and light nature made the TVS Jupiter 125 a quiet yet enjoyable scooter. Its capabilities other scooter riders covet and distinctive design aspects set it apart from the competition.
It may not be the greatest 125cc in the market (and it doesn’t pretend to be), but this scooter excels at many different tasks rather than just one. When it comes to closing the circle, we believe the 125cc Suzuki and Honda models can learn a lot from the TVS.
The new TVS Jupiter 125 looks much different from its conventional 110cc sibling, which is a plus. While there are a few spots where it looks a bit like a Jupiter 110cc, simply done to give the bystanders the impression that this is a Jupiter.
The scooter is equipped with the business’s intelliGO technology, which guarantees a quiet electric start since all you hear as you thumb the starter is the engine’s sound.
A 124.8cc, two-valve engine with 8.18 horsepower and 10.5 Nm of torque powers the scooter. According to the manufacturer, this engine is completely original and not a derivation of those found in the Ntorq or the Raider.
The excellent all-around performance of Access 125 is only one of its many appealing qualities. And the engine is where this ability to accomplish everything is most noticeable. Although it is advertised as a reasonable family scooter, its 125cc engine can compete with some more “sporty” 125cc scooters.
Although there are scarcely any vibrations felt by the rider, it feels grunty and strong while yet being incredibly smooth and elegant. The Access’s exceptional fuel economy is the icing on the cake, and overall, the motor checks off most of the requirements Indians have for their family scooters.
TVS Jupiter 125 appears to have an engine that can compete with the Access on paper. Yes, it has a little less power than Access, but it has higher torque and operates at lower RPMs. However, it is also pulling a little bit more weight. Jupiter does a respectable job of keeping up with the Access at city speeds.
The TVS Jupiter 125 has a semi-digital instrument cluster with an analogue speedometer and an LCD with several informational displays, such as a trip metre, odometer, malfunction indication, average fuel economy, instantaneous fuel economy, distance-to-empty, clock, helmet reminder, etc.
The Honda Activa 125 also has a semi-digital instrument panel with an analogue speedometer and a digital display for readings like the odometer, trip metre, fuel gauge, fuel efficiency, and how far it is till the tank runs out of petrol, among other things.
The TVS IntelliGo stop-start system, econometer, power mode, integrated starter-generator for silent starting, and side-stand inhibitor are also included with the Jupiter 125.
The ACG silent start system and the idle stop-start system are included with the Honda scooter.
To begin with, the TVS Jupiter 125 simulates the existence of a visor by using chrome at the front apron and a glossy black panel over the headlight. Design is undoubtedly arbitrary and dependent on one’s tastes.
Jupiter 125 is similar to the Honda Activa 125. However, it keeps the 110cc version of the TVS Jupiter’s profile. It also has some side chrome components to complement the overall appearance.
In addition, TVS recently unveiled scooter variations with Spiderman and Thor themes. The Ntorq 125 scooters with Marvel superhero themes stand out from the competition since they incorporate colour schemes inspired by the corresponding Marvel superheroes.
On the other hand, the TVS Ntorq 125 has a sportier appearance and is more appealing to younger people. Regarding this, TVS has also done an outstanding job of making it stand out from the competition with some stylish visuals.
The TVS Jupiter 125 appears highly practical because it checks all the right boxes for a full scooter that anybody in your family can ride. Is this India’s top 125cc family scooter, then? Although our initial views of this scooter are excellent, and we honestly weren’t able to identify any significant flaws or missing features, we still want to hold off on giving it our final judgement until we can do a thorough evaluation.
With the likes of the Honda Activa 125 and the Suzuki Access 125, the 125 cc category has some fine competition. But with more advanced features in line in the coming months, the Jupiter 125 could emerge on top.
Yes, when it comes to a daily commuter, spare parts availability, appropriate mileage, better ergonomics, and riding comfort, then Jupiter 125 is worth the price.
For now, the scooter does not have a kick start.
No, the scooter is not comfortable for long rides as its engine is not powered.
In its price range, the scooter is quite an impressive scooter.
The scooter is perfect for daily rides in and around the city.
