Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Q. Activate 110 or Jupiter 113 2025 model which is better
  • The TVS Jupiter 110 and Honda Activa 110 are two popular scooters in the Indian market, each offering a reliable and comfortable ride but catering to slightly different preferences. The Jupiter features a more modern design, larger seat, and impressive storage space (22 liters), making it ideal for those who prioritize comfort and practicality, especially for longer rides. It also offers features like a Bluetooth-enabled SmartXonnect system in the top variants, which adds a tech-savvy edge. On the other hand, the Honda Activa 110 is known for its reliable, time-tested performance, with a slightly smaller but sufficient storage capacity (18 liters) and a simpler, more traditional design. While it offers a smooth ride and good fuel efficiency, the Activa's compact build makes it more maneuverable in congested traffic. Both scooters come with CBS for safety, but the Jupiter stands out for its superior ride comfort and modern features, whereas the Activa 110 appeals to those looking for simplicity and dependable daily commuting.
Q. Hi, I haven’t owned a bike yet but I am planning to but my first .. I am currently learning how to ride on the pulsar180 .. should I go for the rc 390 or apache 310 or any other one as I really love travelling .. but majorly I would ride in the city and occasionally hit the highway and might even go on long trips as I live in kashmir and the college that I have got in in New Delhi so it would be a bit your so pls suggest me a bike as I can’t reach on a decision .. I like Royal Enfield’s also but there power delivery is even less than the one I am currently owning .. my budget is around 3 lakhs .. pls suggest?
  • We would suggest you go for TVS Apache RR 310. TVS has done an incredible job in ironing out the sore spots of the Apache RR 310 with the BS6 update. It is loaded with tech, making it the most technologically advanced motorcycle in its class. The new prices are quite close to its fiercest rival -- the KTM RC 390. While it may lack the outright performance of the RC 390, the Apache RR 310 BS6 makes up for it by being a well-rounded machine that can do daily duties as well as corner carving or even touring, for that matter. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership..Read more:- TVS Apache RR 310 BS6 Road Test Review
