New TVS Jupiter 125: TVS Jupiter 125 has always been shown as a balanced offering in the performing-features and practicality, family features area.
In a populous market where nearly all scooters are targeted at the youth with its peppy appeal, TVS instead aimed the Jupiter 125 at the daily commuter, the family man, and really, anyone looking for some no-nonsense utility without losing out on comforts or mileage.
The refreshed Jupiter 125, on the other hand, comes with minor design updates, added features, and a more polished state of tune for the engine, while staying true to the virtues that made it one of India’s most preferred scooters.
So: Does this new version belong in your garage? Let’s find out.
Design: Simple Yet Smart
Overpromising is not the TVS Jupiter 125’s game—and it works to its advantage.
Style-wise, it looks grownup and clean, with the perfect amount of chrome and body lines so that it doesn’t look too cheap.
The LED headlamp, sharp front apron and the chrome bits on the side panels make it look slightly upmarket.
Available in stylish colors – Titanium Grey, Dawn Orange, Pristine White, and Indiblue – it doesn’t look delicate and more like a compact and confident device.
It doesn’t get the attention a sports scooter would, but it still commands attention as a smart, well-dressed ride.
Motor and Performance: Smooth, Quiet and Buttercrooth
Under the hood, the new Jupiter 125 comes with a 124.8cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that makes about 8.15 bhp and 10.5 Nm of torque.
It’s not optimized for speed, but rather for smooth city rides, smooth acceleration and solid mileage.
What’s noticeable is how quiet and vibe-free the engine is, even after touring all day.
It doesn’t seem to care much if the road is clogged or empty, as the scooter feels at ease all the time.
Fuel economy continues to be one of its major strengths. The Jupiter 125 will return an excellent 50–55 km/l in the real world according to riding manner and traffic.
The Eco and Power mode indicators on the cluster assist the rider to drive in the ideal RPM for improved economy.
Ride Comfort and Feel- Comfortable Seat and Optimum Cushioning
And this is where the Jupiter 125 really excels. It receives a telescopic front suspension and a 3-step adjustable gas-charged rear monoshock that soaks up potholes, speed breakers and patchy roads without breaking a sweat.
It has a commuter-class riding triangle (seat height, handlebar placement and space for your feet), that is really comfortable for any kind of adventure.
The seat is long (one of the longest in its category) to keep both rider and pillion comfortable even on extended commuter runs.
There is enough space on the footboard to take bags or other curios from the grocery store and the external fuel filler cap under the front also becomes a great convenience— you don’t have to step off at the petrol pump.
Everyday Features, Large and Small; Ample Room for up to 6 People
One of the defining USPs of the Jupiter 125 is the 33-litre under-seat storage that can easily fit a full-face helmet along with some more knick-knacks – unparalleled in the segment.
Some worth mentioning features are:
Digital-analogue instrument cluster displaying ECO on ECO Zone Trip meter and mileage indicators
USB charging port
Parking brake
Metal construction of body panels for increased durability
Engine cut-off on the side stand for safety
These goodies might not sound sexy, but they are just what the daily rider needs.
Pros:
Very comfy rider and pillion
Best-in-class under seat storage
Efficient and easy to use engine
Convenience with external fuel filling
Sturdy Build with Metal construction parts
Cons:
A bit plain in design, won’t attract young buyers.
Base version does not get disc brakes
Not tuned for sporty perfomance from the thrill seekers perspective
Not as well-connected as with some competitors
New TVS Jupiter 125:
So The Verge’s official review verdict is: The Sensible Scooter That Just Works.
