The spotted scooter gets new SBS (Sync Braking System) and FI (Fuel-Injection) labels on the front fender and front apron. The SBS system is like the CBS (Combi-Brake System) that Honda employs allowing the rider to operate both brakes with one lever. The Fuel-Injection will allow cleaner and more efficient fuel delivery that will increase the power marginally and improve the fuel efficiency as well.

TVS Jupiter – Specifications

The outgoing model of TVS Jupiter employs a 110 cc engine with carburettor delivers 8 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 8 Nm torque at 5,500 rpm. The engine comes mated to an automatic gearbox. The upcoming updated TVS Jupiter features FI which translates to a marginal increase in both power and efficiency figures. The gearbox will not receive any updates and will remain the same. The new Jupiter in the spy shot features a sealed ignition fob. We expect the top variant of the upcoming scooter to feature keyless ignition. This will prove to be a segment first feature and will add to the practicality of the two-wheeler. New colours and accessories are also expected to be offered to make it more ‘millennial-friendly’. This move will also allow its customers to customize their individual units to make them stand apart.
