The TVS Jupiter was spied with front disc brake and did not have a choke lever which points out to fuel injection technology incorporated into the engine.
TVS Jupiter has been the bestselling scooter for the company and the second best selling scooter in India after the Honda Activa range. The scooter comes loaded with features, is a breeze to ride and is priced competitively. While we are used to motorcycles getting the fuel injection technology, this would be the first time a scooter will benefit in India. The scooter spied was completely undisguised but had a few noticeable differences like a front disc brake and absence of a choke lever. Also, sources report that the scooter was fitted with oxygen sensors which further confirms that TVS might be bringing a fuel injected Jupiter to the Indian market. Some might think this step was not needed from TVS, but it goes a long way in reducing emissions and also improving fuel efficiency.
The 110cc single cylinder motor will also be the smallest fuel injected motor on sale in India. Currently, it is powered by a 109.7cc single cylinder motor that develops 8.2PS of max power at 7500RPM and 8Nm of torque at 5500RPM. The engine is coupled to a CVT automatic transmission and boasts of a mileage of 62Km/L. It comes loaded with features like a mobile charging port, external fuel filler, a unique pass switch, key shutter lock and combined braking to name a few.
The TVS Jupiter is the highest awarded scooter ever in the Indian market. The scooter holds a record of selling more than 5 lakh units in a period of just 18 months from launch which definitely says something about its popularity. We also reckon that the TVS Jupiter EFI will be launched very soon, in the next couple of months. If so, this scooter will be worth waiting for and could be a revolution in the Indian scooter segment.
