Engine
TVS has made changes to the design aspects of Jupiter Classic while the mechanical section remains untouched. The new Jupiter retains the same 110 cc engine used by the predecessor which produces 8 bhp @ 7500 rpm and 8.4 Nm of torque @ 5500 rpm. The scooter uses Digital IDI with ignition Map Technology for ignition and sits on a High Rigidity Underbone Type chassis. However, TVS could have made some changes to the engine side as the untouched engine can be a slight turn off for the prospective buyers.
Braking and Suspension
Advanced Telescopic Suspension is employed at the Front of the Jupiter while a Gas Charged Monoshock suspension is used at the rear. This suspension setup is seen in almost all scooter line up and is proven to be good for high speeds and also for almost all terrains.

The disc brakes combined with the suspension makes sure that the Jupiter will have effective breaking while encountering the traffic and will be stable and comfortable to ride in and around the city.
