TVS Jupiter ZX drum: what's new?
The new variant features TVS' Bluetooth-enabled SmartXonnect technology that allows riders to experience a host of connected features, including turn-by-turn navigation, voice assist and notification alerts. The scooter also comes with a built-in USB charger. Along with the drum brakes, TVS also launched two new colours for the ZX, which include Starlight Blue and an exclusive new option called Olive Gold.
Mechanically, this scooter stays the same and is powered by an air-cooled, 109.7cc, single-cylinder mill making 7.8hp and 8.8Nm. Nestling this engine is a simple underbone frame, suspended by a telescopic fork and monoshock setup. Braking duties are handled by drum brakes at both ends.
