TVS Jupiter 125

The most fuel-efficient scooters in the 125cc space in our tests have been the Yamaha RayZR and Fascino models. Both are mechanically and feature-wise exactly the same, with only different bodywork and styling separating the two. Some other proven and reliable options to consider are the Suzuki Access, Honda Activa and TVS Jupiter models - these are also practical, fuel-efficient, reliable and comfortable scooters with widespread service networks.

Each scooter has its strengths and weaknesses, and without knowing your particular requirements, answering which one is better will not be possible. The strengths of the Activa 125 are its buttery smooth engine, bulletproof reliability and a widespread spare parts availability. Coming to the Jupiter 125, it has the largest underseat storage area on an Indian ICE scooter and has a plush ride and is also more stable at higher speeds owing to its 12-inch wheels at both ends. Take a test ride of both to see which one you're leaning toward more before making a purchase decision. 

In the 125cc scooter segment, our top picks are the Suzuki Access, TVS Jupiter 125 and the Honda Activa 125 if you want a traditional-looking and family-centric offering. If you want something a little sportier and sharper-looking but don't want to sacrifice practicality, the TVS Ntorq 125 is our pick in the class. All of them come with disc brakes on multiple variants, so you have a broad price spread to choose from. 

Between the two, the TVS will be the more comfortable and practical choice.

The Hero Xoom 125 does have a comfortable suspension, but its seating comfort is rather average. In comparison, the TVS Jupiter 125 offers a spacious, almost-flat seat and a well-judged suspension setup. Both these factors make it a better option, and that’s why we would steer you toward the Jupiter.

You could also consider the Suzuki Access125, a scooter which we found to be quite comfortable during our time with it.
