TVS Jupiter 110 Long Term Review: Month 1 - Happy Balance!

When I heard that TVS was sending the Jupiter to join our long-term test fleet, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to grab its keys. In the world of two-wheelers – especially scooters – there aren’t many products that truly push the boundaries. To put it simply, the scooter market seems to be dominated by electric vehicles, while the traditional family scooter segment feels rather stale. It’s as if there’s an invisible rulebook everyone follows, and as a result, there is a lack of excitement. Scooters are updated infrequently and often undergo incremental changes, making them more of an evolution than a revolution. When rumours of a new TVS Jupiter started circulating before its launch, many expected the company to stick to the same old formula. But as we’ve all discovered, TVS hit it out of the park with this one.

Don’t get me wrong, the Jupiter doesn’t bring a radical shift to the market. But it excels in its evolution, so much so that every scooter manufacturer in India should take note. First, let’s talk about the design. The scooter feels fresh, modern, and minimalistic, yet it doesn’t venture too far from the conventional design. To me, the Jupiter strikes the perfect balance between contemporary and timeless. The same can be said about its riding performance. At a calm and leisurely pace, the Jupiter is perfectly content to cruise along without demanding attention, allowing you to enjoy the journey at a relaxed pace. However, give it some gas, and TVS’ expertise in chassis and suspension tuning becomes immediately apparent. Yes, the scooter does get a bit noisy and slightly vibey, but it’s more than willing to keep up with your spirited inputs. So much so that you’ll eventually glance at the all-digital instrument cluster and think, ‘Wow… that’s fast!’

At no point does the 113cc engine feel overstressed; it comfortably cruises at 80 km/h all day, making it more than capable for long stretches of open road. In bumper-to-bumper traffic, the scooter’s nimbleness and agility are a welcome feature. As a practical scooter, it offers ample under-seat storage, and the silent start ensures it’s gentle on the neighbours. The long seat makes riding with two passengers effortless, and the front disc brake provides solid bite, though it lacks significant feedback.

Overall, my first impressions of the new Jupiter have been fantastic. I absolutely love it, and I now find myself looking for excuses to take it for a quick spin whenever possible. Suffice it to say, the urge to rack up mileage on the Jupiter is very real. I should probably get to it right away...
