TVS Jupiter: The Indian two-wheeler market has always been highly competitive, with manufacturers constantly innovating to capture specific segments of riders.
Among these targeted offerings, the 2025 TVS Jupiter Classic has emerged as a standout favorite among women riders, combining sophisticated retro-inspired styling with thoughtful features that address the practical needs and aesthetic preferences of female commuters.
After spending two weeks with this refreshed model across Mumbai’s diverse urban landscape, it’s easy to see why the phrase “Jupiter Classic is the girls’ first choice” has become increasingly common at college campuses and office complexes across India.
Design: Retro Elegance Meets Modern Sensibility
The Jupiter has always maintained a dignified presence in the scooter segment, but the 2025 Classic variant elevates this approach with distinctive styling elements that many female riders describe as simply “Gajab” (awesome).
The front apron features chrome-accented styling with a more pronounced “V” shape that gives the scooter a confident face, complemented by circular LED headlamps with elegant chrome bezels that enhance the vintage-inspired aesthetic.
The side panels incorporate subtle scalloped surfaces with tasteful pinstriping that references classic Italian scooters without appearing derivative.
Chrome rearview mirrors with integrated turn indicators add a premium touch, while the redesigned seat features diamond-quilted leatherette upholstery with contrast stitching – a detail typically found on much more expensive two-wheelers.
Color options have been thoughtfully curated to appeal to diverse tastes while maintaining the Classic’s sophisticated character. Beyond the standard Autumn Brown and Pristine White.
the 2025 model introduces three new shades – Mint Green, Lavender Mist, and Pearl Coral – that have proven especially popular among younger women riders who appreciate these contemporary yet timeless options.
The analog-digital combination instrument cluster receives a redesigned housing with chrome accents and improved visibility, while the switchgear features a satin aluminum finish that provides both tactile satisfaction and visual appeal.
Even small details like the embossed TVS logo on the seat and the Classic badging on the side panels demonstrate the attention to design that has made this variant so appealing to style-conscious riders.
Features: Thoughtfully Engineered for Everyday Convenience
Where the Jupiter Classic truly excels is in its thoughtfully designed features that address the practical challenges faced by women during daily commutes. The seat height remains accessible at 765mm, accommodating riders of various heights.
while the floorboard offers ample space even for those wearing traditional Indian attire like salwar kameez or sarees – a consideration often overlooked by manufacturers.
Storage solutions have been enhanced with the 2025 model. The underseat storage capacity has increased to 21 liters, now comfortably accommodating a half-face helmet along with personal items.
An additional front storage compartment includes a dedicated section for smartphones with a water-resistant rubber lining and integrated USB-C charging port – eliminating the anxiety of a dying phone battery during journeys.
The Classic variant adds a unique front glove box with separate compartments for frequently accessed items like hand sanitizer, face tissues, and sunglasses.
These small but significant touches demonstrate TVS’s understanding of how women use their vehicles beyond mere transportation – as essential tools that facilitate their increasingly busy lifestyles.
Security features have been thoughtfully enhanced in response to feedback from female riders. The keyless ignition system now includes an additional layer of protection through a proximity-based smart key.
that renders the scooter immobile when the authorized key moves beyond a certain distance. An integrated GPS module connects to TVS’s iQube app, allowing real-time tracking and geofencing alerts that provide valuable peace of mind for both riders and concerned family members.
Ergonomics: Comfort for Diverse Riding Styles
The Jupiter Classic’s riding position has been calibrated to accommodate diverse preferences, maintaining the upright posture that provides good visibility in traffic while ensuring accessible reach to all controls.
The handlebar position allows for natural arm extension without stretching, while the redesigned seat offers improved support for longer journeys – addressing a common complaint about entry-level scooters.
Weight distribution has been optimized to create a lower center of gravity, making the scooter easier to balance when stationary or maneuvering at parking speeds – particularly valuable for newer riders still building confidence.
The side stand now incorporates an engine cut-off feature with an audible reminder, preventing the all-too-common issue of riding off with the stand deployed.
The footboard dimensions have been subtly increased without compromising the scooter’s overall compact dimensions, providing secure footing even for riders wearing different types of footwear from formal office shoes to traditional juttis.
These ergonomic considerations demonstrate TVS’s commitment to ensuring the Jupiter Classic accommodates the diverse lifestyles of its female customer base.
Performance: Refined and Reliable
Under the elegantly styled bodywork, the 2025 Jupiter Classic houses TVS’s enhanced 110cc engine, now featuring their ET-Fi (Ecothrust Fuel injection) technology that optimizes performance while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency.
The power output remains modest at 8.2 horsepower and 8.4 Nm of torque – figures that prioritize smooth, accessible performance over outright acceleration.
What impresses most is the engine refinement. During our testing across Mumbai’s varied terrain, the Classic maintained exceptional smoothness across the rev range with minimal vibration even when pushed toward its upper limits.
The CVT transmission delivers power predictably, with a calibration that favors ease of use in stop-start traffic conditions while providing sufficient response for quick overtaking maneuvers when needed.
The i-TOUCHstart feature eliminates the need for kick-starting even when the battery is low, while the integrated idle start-stop system helps maximize fuel efficiency in congested urban conditions.
Our testing consistently delivered between 55-60 km/l in real-world mixed riding scenarios – impressive figures that translate to significant long-term savings for daily commuters.
Ride Quality: Urban Composure
The Jupiter has always been renowned for its well-judged ride quality, and the 2025 Classic builds upon this reputation with subtle refinements. The telescopic front fork now offers 81mm of travel.
while the rear 3-step adjustable shock absorber allows customization based on rider weight and preference – a thoughtful inclusion that recognizes the diverse physical characteristics of female riders.
During our testing on Mumbai’s notoriously inconsistent road surfaces, the Jupiter Classic demonstrated impressive composure, absorbing smaller imperfections while maintaining stability over larger obstacles like unexpected potholes or speed breakers.
The 12-inch wheels with tubeless tires (now standard across all variants) provide secure handling even on wet surfaces – a crucial consideration during monsoon season.
Braking performance comes via a 130mm drum setup at both ends with synchronized braking technology (SBT) as standard, while a front disc brake option is available for those desiring stronger stopping power.
The braking calibration strikes an excellent balance between effectiveness and predictability, requiring minimal hand strength while providing confidence-inspiring deceleration.
Ownership Experience: Beyond the Product
TVS has complemented the Jupiter Classic’s thoughtful design with an ownership experience specifically tailored to address common concerns expressed by women riders.
The standard warranty now extends to 5 years, while service intervals have been increased to 6 months/6,000km – reducing the frequency of workshop visits that can be challenging to schedule around busy professional and personal commitments.
The TVS ARIVE app provides simplified service booking, maintenance reminders, and digital documentation storage, integrating seamlessly with the Jupiter’s connected features.
Additionally, TVS has expanded their “Pink Service Days” program, offering women-only service camps staffed by female technicians who provide both mechanical servicing and rider education sessions covering basic maintenance and troubleshooting.
Conclusion: Setting a New Standard
The 2025 TVS Jupiter Classic succeeds by genuinely understanding and addressing the specific needs of women riders rather than simply applying superficial “feminine” styling cues to an existing product.
Through thoughtful design, practical features, and a comprehensive ownership experience, TVS has created a scooter that resonates with female commuters across diverse age groups and lifestyles.
At Rs. 83,475 (ex-showroom), the Jupiter Classic commands a premium over the standard variant, but the enhanced design, additional features, and refined performance justify this positioning.
For women seeking a two-wheeler that combines practical functionality with distinctive style and genuine attention to their specific needs, the Jupiter Classic makes a compelling case as the natural first choice in an increasingly crowded segment.
