Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Jupiter 125 out of disc & drum alloy which is better & low maintenance?
  • When comparing the TVS Jupiter 125 alloy variants, it’s important to note the brake configuration. In the disc alloy variant, the bike comes with a front disc brake and a rear drum brake, offering improved stopping power and better safety, especially in sudden braking situations. The drum alloy variant features drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels, which are simpler in design and generally require less maintenance. If low maintenance and cost-effectiveness are your primary concerns, the drum variant may be more suitable, while the disc variant is preferable for those seeking enhanced braking performance and safety. It primarily depends on your riding preferences and maintenance priorities.To know more about the vehicle we would suggest you to book test ride for better experience: https://www.zigwheels.com/bikes/dealers/tvs/Delhi
Q. Which scooter is better between TVS Jupiter 125 or Yamaha Ray ZR?
  • Jupiter 125 2023 bs6 model seat lock stock suggest me how to fix DIY
Q. Which scooter to choose, Jupiter 125, Activa 125 or Access 125?
  • All three scooters are good in their forte. At first glance, the Jupiter 125 does everything you’d expect from a 125cc family scooter and some more. It’s got decent performance, handles well and it’s very comfortable too. But where it really stands out is with its comfort and convenience features, most of which are segment-leading, and almost make you wonder why no one else has implemented them before. Given that the Jupiter 125 comes better equipped at this price, we think it’s better value for money, and that might be enough to convince family-scooter buyers. On the other hand, The Honda Activa 125 BS6 does everything the previous scooter did and builds on it. In terms of practicality, comfort and reliability, few come as close as the Activa 125. It might not be thrilling to ride but with an extensive feature list, the Activa 125 ticks all the boxes of a family-oriented 125cc scooter. Whereas, The Suzuki Access 125 BS6 has all the crucial updates to help it continue its streak of being the best-selling scooter in the 125cc segment. Sure it does have its own set of shortcomings but as an overall package, the Suzuki Access 125 BS6 is capable of holding its own in the competitive segment. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -TVS Jupiter 125 First Ride Review: New Family Scooter King.-TVS Jupiter 125 Road Test Review - TVS’ contender for the commute.-Suzuki Access 125 BS6: Road Test Review.
