Whenever someone mentions the Jupiter 110, most people instantly say, “Bro, safe choice.” But honestly, my experience hasn’t been that straightforward. The scooter is good, yes but far from flawless. And hey, before you swipe your card at the showroom, there are a few things you really should know. Otherwise you might walk out thinking, “Wait did I just make a mistake?”
1. The mileage claims and the real story
The company proudly talks about great mileage. Sure, nice to hear. But I still remember that moment when a friend bought a brand-new Jupiter and within a week said, “Bro, this fuel meter behaves a little weird.” In real-world city riding, you’ll mostly see 50–55 kmpl. That “60+” dream happens only on good days. A dealer once quietly told me, “Sir, in traffic, this is what you’ll get.” He said it straight.

2. Comfortable ride, but the rear suspension sometimes acts moody
The suspension is soft, no doubt. But one day, while riding on a pothole-filled stretch in Pune, the rear shock gave a metallic clunk on a couple of big bumps. I asked the TVS technician right there, and he said, “Sir this is normal, it settles better when the scooter is loaded.” Loaded sure. But daily riding isn’t always with extra weight.
3. Pickup is okay, but don’t expect sporty vibes
It’s a 110cc scooter, so don’t expect lightning-fast acceleration. Jupiter rides smooth, but a bit laid-back. At traffic signals, when you try to get ahead, Activa 125 or NTorq riders usually jump forward quicker. If you’re hunting for sporty enthusiasm, Jupiter won’t give you that punch.
4. Some features feel a bit old-school now
This segment has moved heavily towards smart features Bluetooth, flashy digital consoles, alerts all that. Jupiter still sticks to practical but old-fashioned features. I remember a customer at a showroom saying, “Yaar, at least give a modern meter.” The staff just smiled. TVS focused on reliability, but in terms of feel-good features, Jupiter lags behind.
5. Resale value is decent, but not as strong as Activa
Jupiter’s resale value is okay, but nowhere close to Activa’s “brand sells itself” reputation. If you plan to sell it after 3–4 years, you’ll notice Jupiter’s price dropping a bit more. I once evaluated a Jupiter’s resale for a client it closed at a price nearly 8–12k lower than a similar Activa.
So should you buy the Jupiter 110?
To tell you the truth if you want a simple, smooth, no-nonsense daily scooter, Jupiter is not a bad pick at all. But if you want modern tech, quicker response, or strong resale then you may want to think again.
One thing is certain though: Jupiter is like that dependable friend doesn’t make noise, just quietly does its job. You just need to keep your expectations realistic.
