BSIV compliant TVS Jupiter launched, gets 2 new colours

TVS has launched the updated Jupiter gearless scooter in India, which now comes with a BSIV compliant engine, Auto-Headlamp On (AHO) and Sync Braking System (SBS) as standard. The updated model also gets 2 new colours: Jade Green and Mystic Gold. Prices of the new Jupiter haven't been changed as it still starts from Rs. 49,666 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Apart from being BSIV compliant, no other changes have been made to the powertrain of the Jupiter, which gets a 109.7 cc, single-cylinder engine that churns out 8 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 8 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm. It also comes with TVS patented Econometer, which basically provides two riding modes: Eco and Power.

While the Jupiter previously featured the Sync Braking System (SBS) only on the top-end ZX model, it has now been made standard across the range. SBS basically divides the braking power to both front and rear brakes, even if only the rear brake lever is pressed, thus aiding rider safety.

TVS Jupiter MillionR launched to celebrate 1 million sales

TVS Motors has launched a new special edition variant of the Jupiter. Named the TVS Jupiter MillionR edition, this new launch will commemorate 1 million units of the Jupiter, ever since it was launched in September 2013. The new Jupiter MillionR will be around Rs. 2,000 more expensive than the normal Jupiter, which currently starts at Rs. 48,809 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

While most of the changes on the MillionR are purely cosmetic in nature, the most significant update is the presence of a disc brake at the front. The Jupiter MillionR edition can be opted with a 220 mm disc brake at the front, which is opposed to the 130 mm drum brake found on the normal Jupiter.

Cosmetic design changes on the MillionR edition include a new purple colour, a chromed 3-d Jupiter logo on the side, beige floor board, dual tone seats, and a 'MillionR Editition' badge on the front and side. Additional chrome detailing has been provided on the side panels and mirrors.

The Jupiter MillionR edition will be powered by the same engine that supplies power to the current Jupiter. This 110 cc single-cylinder powerhouse generates 8 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 8 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm and is mated to a CVT automatic gearbox.

TVS Jupiter spied with disc brake, fuel-injection

Thank you to the Team-BHP fan (who prefers to remain anonymous) for sending in these images! Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts.

Two TVS Jupiter test mules were spotted testing in Coimbatore. While neither one of the mules had any camouflage, a closer inspection reveals interesting details about them. According to the source, the scooters are fuel-injected, had O2 sensors, and did not have a choke lever (as seen in one of the images). The other test mule has a front disc brake as well, indicating that new variants of the Jupiter may enter the market soon. It was earlier believed that TVS would offer a disc brake with the Jupiter ZX that was launched last year.

The Jupiter is powered by a 109.7cc, single-cylinder engine that makes around 8 BHP and 8 Nm of torque. It is likely that TVS will tweak this engine to accommodate the fuel-injector, extracting better performance out of it. The addition of a disc brake would also be a welcome move, offering stronger stopping power than the current 130 mm drum brake.

TVS Motors launches Jupiter automatic scooter in North India

Hosur headquartered Indian two and three wheeler maker TVS Motors has launched the Jupiter 110 cc automatic scooter in North India. The Jupiter is priced at 44,200 rupees, ex-showroom Delhi. The scooter will be launched in South India by November this year. Essentially, the TVS Jupiter 110 is a larger automatic scooter that seeks to position itself as a man-sized alternative to stablemate Wego and other large scooters such as the Suzuki Access 125 and the Honda Aviator.

Apart from the larger body shell and a host of new features, the Jupiter shares its engine and transmission with the Wego. On the Jupiter, the 110 cc, four stroke motor also outputs the same amount of power and torque as it does on the Wego, with rated outputs of 8 Bhp-8.1 Nm output. The engine drives the rear wheel of the scooter through a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). TVS claims a 62 Kmpl fuel efficiency figure for the Jupiter.

The scooter rides on larger 12 inch alloy wheels shod with 90/90 tubeless tyres, and features telescopic front forks at the front and a gas charged monoshock at the rear. The larger wheels and telescopic suspension should endow the Jupiter 110 with better ground clearance and ride quality on broken surfaces. A front disc brake isn't a part of the equation just a yet and the scooter makes do with drum brakes at both ends. Expect the front disc brake to make an appearance as an optional part in the coming months.

Like the Wego, the Jupiter features a rear fuel filling cap that doesn't require the rider to dismount every time she or he has to fuel up. Other convenience features on the Jupiter include the patented E-Z center stand and a kick start mechanism that's easily accessible to the rider so that she/he doesn't have to dismount to kick start the scooter. Here's a round up of the other significant features offered on the Jupiter, 

  • Pilot lamps
  • LED tail lamps
  • Retractable bag hooks
  • 17 liter underseat storage
  • Low fuel indicator
  • Pass switch for the headlamp
  • Dual map ignition mapped for power and economy modes
  • Power and economy mode indicators on the instrumentation console
  • 1,275 mm wheelbase (best in class)
  • 1,910 mm turning radius
