</ul>
Rivals:

TVS Jupiter faces competition from other popular scooters like TVS Scooty Pep Plus, Honda Grazia, TVS Scooty Zest, Hero Maestro Edge 110, and Hero Pleasure Plus. While these options offer their own unique features, TVS Jupiter stands out with its blend of power, mileage, and competitive pricing.
In conclusion, TVS Jupiter is a practical and cost-effective choice for riders seeking a reliable scooter with a good balance of power and fuel efficiency. With its competitive pricing, safety features, and solid performance, it's a trustworthy option in the scooter market, competing effectively with other popular models.

TVS Motor Company is getting aggressive in the 125 cc segment, and how. Soon after the new Raider 125, the company announced the new Jupiter 125, the bigger sibling of the popular Jupiter 110. The latter has given a really tough fight to the Honda Activa, which is the most-selling scooter in the Indian market. Needless to say, TVS aims to repeat the success story with the new Jupiter. And I was called to TVS' own test track in Hosur to get my first-hand experience on the 2021 Jupiter 125. And here's what I found. &nbsp;

<h2>The mature and the menace:</h2>TVS has been very clear in its vision for the Jupiter brand and the new higher cc model only reiterates the same. The Jupiter 125 hasn't transformed into a sportier offering or a maxi-scooter that's picking up quite fast in the Indian market (or maybe TVS has other plans for those customers). It builds upon the basics of the smaller model. And the company's focus on practicality, convenience, and ease, is evident.

On the outside, it features a fairly fresh design theme, which still looks connected to the pre-existing model. There is a generous use of chrome all-around, LED front headlamps, DRLs, and of course a metal body to keep the customers content. There is also a wide footboard which as per TVS has been designed to serve as a workhorse. It can even accommodate a full-size gas cylinder if you have to, but I remember also keeping the same on my previously owned Bajaj Krystal scooter's footboard which was comparatively much smaller in size. So in that sense, the Jupiter 125 can accommodate much more than just a gas cylinder.&nbsp;

There are hooks on both sides around the footboard, which only adds to the convenience, but speaking of which, TVS has shifted the external fuel filler cap from the tail to the front side. The same can be accessed with the use of a multi-function key switch that also unlocks the seat that provides access to the largest-in-segment boot space that is also claimed to be enough to fit in two mid-sized motorcycle helmets. Needless to say, this is one of the key highlights of the Jupiter 125 that is sure to give it an edge over its segment rivals. Adding on to the features list of the Jupiter 125 is the USB socket which is again very smartly placed over the right side of the key switch. There is also a pocket down below that will be used to keep the phone (and other paraphernalia) while on charge. Other feature additions to the scooter include the use of boot light, alloy wheels, disc brakes, and much more.&nbsp;

The Jupiter 125 also uses a new dash that incorporates an analogue speedometer along with a small digital display located to the right side of the meter. While the cluster remains brimming with information that its typical customer will require, but at the current market needs, a fully digital screen could have been a more welcoming move.&nbsp;

While the scooter really does make an impression with its fresh styling, the fact that the quality isn't exactly consistent throughout left me wanting. While the switchgear feels of decent build, the connecting panels and joints are visible on certain parts if you look closely. Also, the side body though comes in metal, shakes, and rattles a bit when the scooter is revved hard.

<h2>New from skin to bone:</h2>TVS says that the Jupiter 125 is fresh from the ground up. Its 124.8 cc single-cylinder isn't a reworked version of the NTorq's powertrain. Also, to compare, the output is different which stands at 8.3 PS/10.5 Nm for Jupiter. Also, the engine uses 2V technology, unlike the NTorq which gets 3V configuration. Thus the company's focus to give the Jupiter 125 a different character remains quite evident. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The Jupiter 125 also receives the Intelli-Go technology from TVS which boosts the overall efficiency of the scooter. It automatically turns off the engine when parked for a while, or waiting at red lights. And then you don't have to tap the starter, just twist the accelerator a bit while holding the brake and the engine comes back to life. This in return aids in a greater fuel economy. For the record, the company has yet not claimed the fuel economy figures on Jupiter 125; but has been quoted saying that it is ‘much more than the rivals’. The engine accelerates with a punch and delivers a very linear output till the top end. Also, I would stretch my neck out to say that it is one of the most refined units in the segment, and TVS has done a commendable job on the powertrain.&nbsp;

There is also a new chassis to support the requirements of the powertrain. This as per TVS has been tuned to keep the handling agile and dynamic, with minimal resistance. As a result, the Jupiter 125 feels easy to handle and also enough capable to take corners with confidence.&nbsp;

<h2>The final words:</h2>The contenders in the Indian 125 cc scooter space are going to feel the heat as the TVS Jupiter 125 is built to take down the segment topper with its refined powertrain, feature-packed body, and practical approach. If only TVS could have added a more modern-looking instrument panel, but I am only nit-picking here.

Its impressive range, fast charging capability, and essential features make it a compelling choice in the electric scooter segment. For those seeking a sustainable and practical solution for daily commuting, the TVS iQube Electric deserves serious consideration.

Electric two-wheelers make a lot of sense for people who will be using them only for city commutes and for performing their daily chores. Moreover, they are quite practical also. Electric two-wheelers are becoming more and more popular especially since legacy manufacturers such as Bajaj and TVS entered the segment.

TVS Motor Company first launched the <a class="autobacklink-topic" target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/tvs/iqubeelectric" data-name="iQube electric">iQube electric</a> scooter in January 2020. Then they provided a significant update to the iQube in 2022. The manufacturer introduced three variants - Base, S and ST. It is important to note that the ST variant has still not gone on sale, TVS has not yet revealed the price nor they have announced a delivery timeline. One of the questions, that people have is whether they should wait for the ST trim or buy the current variants. Well, I have also booked the iQube ST and to find out whether it is worth waiting or not, I decided to live for a few days with the iQube S. Here are my views after riding the iQube S for 500 km.

<h2>TVS iQube S: Looks and build quality</h2>In terms of design, all the variants of the iQube look identical apart from the variant badging and colour schemes. The iQube does not really stand out while riding in the city, it has a very conventional design, just like an ICE-powered scooter. There is a U-shaped LED Daytime Running Lamp on the handlebar while the headlamp and tail lamp are thin strips of LED units. The throw from the headlamp is quite good and is quite decent even on the highbeam. An interesting touch is the Electric badging on the rear left swingarm that glows blue while charging. The iQube is very well built, and there are absolutely no rattles from anywhere while going over bad roads.

<h2>TVS iQube S: Battery pack, range and charging</h2>

This is the area where there is quite a big difference when compared to the ST variant. The iQube S comes with a 3.04 kWh battery pack, TVS claims a riding range of 100 km in Eco mode and 75 km in Power mode. However, the screen would show a DTE read-out of 105 km at 100 per cent battery. On the other hand, the iQube ST has a larger 4.56 kWh battery pack that has a claimed range figure of 145 km in Eco mode and 110 km in Power mode. I found the range to be quite believable, there were no sudden range drops, the DTE was always very consistent and after a while, your confidence starts increasing as you start trusting the DTE more. This is when the range anxiety slowly starts going away. However, still, 105 km of range for some people might not be enough.

For my use case scenario, I used to plug in the scooter whenever I returned home, then use the scooter in the evening and plug it in again when I returned home. I didn't have to charge the scooter overnight as I used to turn off the charger before sleeping and the scooter would often be around 100 per cent, always ready for the next day. In terms of charging times, TVS says that the scooter takes 4 hours and 30 minutes to fully charge but that is the thing, for my use case, I never had to fully charge it so charging times were not as long and this might be true for many other people as well. A special mention goes to the way the charger is designed, it is long and there is a dedicated handle that can be used to pick up the charger. Having said that, a charging case would have been nice and it does take some time to get used to the way the charger clicks into the charging socket.

Speaking of charging, the iQube ST comes with a faster 950 W charger that takes 4 hours and 6 minutes to fully charge and there is an optional 1500 W charger as well that takes just 2 hours and 30 minutes. There is regenerative braking also that helps in preserving the battery and it is quite strong but once you get used to it, the usage of traditional brakes decreases quite a lot.

<h2>TVS iQube S: Ride and handling</h2>The ride quality of the iQube is very good, it is subtle and comfortable. The suspension setup absorbs most of the bad patches and only the sharpest bumps are transferred to the rider because the suspension starts bottoming out. Now, the handling part, iQube S feels nimble, it maintains its line while cornering but the front-end does feel a bit heavy in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

<h2>TVS iQube S: Performance</h2>All the variants of the iQube are powered by a BLDC hub-mounted motor that produces 4.4 kW of peak power, 140 Nm of peak torque and 33 Nm of rated torque output. A special mention goes to how smooth and silent the scooter is.

As mentioned above, the scooter has two riding modes, there is Eco and Power. The Eco mode packs in enough performance that one can ride the scooter in the city without any issues but the top speed is limited. Then there is the Power mode, in which the increase in power delivery can be felt instantly. The scooter starts pulling strongly and hits its speedo-indicated top speed of 86 kmph. The scooter does not limit its performance even after using it in Power mode for long durations. However, one thing that I did notice is that the instrument cluster would show an error but there would be no error in the system which is quite weird.

<h2>TVS iQube S: Braking</h2>The braking duties on the iQube S are done by a disc in the front and a drum at the rear. The brakes have a good bite but they come with CBS and there is no ABS on offer. While it is useful in most cases, white riding on gravel roads, the wheels seem to lock-up because of the CBS. It would have been nice if TVS offered ABS or maybe they can add it to the iQube ST.

In terms of features, the iQube S is equipped with a digital screen that shows all the vital information. It does come with day/night themes but they don't change automatically. What does change automatically is the brightness but it is quite slow to respond. The screen is not a touchscreen unit, that is reserved for the ST trim. To operate the screen on the iQube S, there is a joystick but it is quite finicky to use. There is also connected tech and its application is quite slick for the most part. However, connecting it to show music and navigation details is quite finicky. There is also a USB port under the seat that can be used to charge mobile devices. Apart from this, there is LED lighting, a hazard switch and reverse mode but it is a bit awkward to use. One important thing to note is that the scooter does not make any sound which is good for an electric vehicle but this means that often other people can't hear it.

<h2>TVS iQube S: Verdict</h2>The iQube is one of the most sorted electric scooters that a person can buy in the Indian market. A person who will be using the scooter only for city duties can opt for the S trim and if he or she is on a budget, even the Standard trim should be fine. The ST trim makes sense for those who need that extra bit of riding range, touchscreen, fast charging and more features. The Standard trim of the iQube is priced at ₹99,130 whereas the iQube S costs ₹1.04 lakh. Both these prices are ex-showroom, Delhi and include Fame II subsidy. The iQube has to compete against other electric scooters such as <a class="autobacklink-topic" target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/atherenergy/ather450x" data-name="Ather 450X">Ather 450X</a>, <a class="autobacklink-topic" target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/bajaj" data-name="Bajaj">Bajaj</a> <a class="autobacklink-topic" target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/bajaj/chetak" data-name="Chetak">Chetak</a> and Ola <a class="autobacklink-topic" target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/olaelectric/s1" data-name="S1">S1</a>.

Apache RTR 180

TVS Apache RTR 180 
 
This is the bigger brother of the Apache RTR 160. TVS had worked on this bike to be a slight upgrade to the 160cc variant. 
Although both the 160 and 180 variants look almost the same, they are not exactly the same. 
 

TVS Apache RTR 180 Launch Dates: 
 
Since 2009, Apache’s RTR 180 model has been giving tough competition to many bikes of its class. 
Recent revisions have made the bike meaner and more powerful. The BS6 version of TVS Apache RTR 180 was launched in the year 2020. 
 

 TVS Apache RTR 180 Price: 

 
Pricing of the disc version of RTR 180 is set at 1,32,220 Lakh Rupees and comes in only one variant. Kindly note that the price is according to ex-showroom, Delhi. 

 

 TVS Apache RTR 180 Design: 

 
The unique muscular design of the RTR 180 including a split grab-rail has been around since its initial launch in 2009. From then on, the design gave the newer updates a sharper look without compromising on the overall stance of the bike. 

The TVS RTR 180 is seen in T-Grey, Matte Blue, Gloss Black and Pearl White colour variants. 

 

 TVS Apache RTR 180 Dimension: 

 
Apart from the lower weight that this bike has for its class, the seat height is also considerably lower. 

The riding position is also not as aggressive, thus making it more comfortable to ride. 

 

 TVS Apache RTR 180 Features: 

 
Like every bike in the Apache series, TVS has equipped the RTR 180 with GTT (Glide Through Technology) which enables the bike to crawl through traffic just by using the clutch. The GTT allows the ECU to increase the RPM of the engine to assist the rider in heavy traffic conditions. 

Just like its 160 counterparts, the RTR 180 has a halogen headlamp, a semi-digital instrument cluster, LED DRLs and a tail lamp unit. Although the bike has disk brakes in the front and rear as standard, it only gets a single-channel ABS. 

 

 TVS Apache RTR 180 Engine and Performance: 

 
Without a doubt, the ‘RTR’ (Racing Throttle Response) technology of TVS has been giving Indian riders good racing experiences on such small-capacity bikes. 

The Race Tuned Fuel Injection (RT-Fi) engine provides quick acceleration too. 

A 177.4cc single-cylinder, the fuel-injected engine churns out 16.7 BHP at 8,500 RPM and 15.5 Nm torque at 7,000 RPM. Unlike the RTR 160, this bike is oil-cooled. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. 

 

 TVS Apache RTR 180 Mileage: 

 
A 12 litre fuel tank gives this bike a range of about 500 kilometers in one full tank. Several sources claim that the bike gives on an average of 38 to 45 kilometers a litre. 

 

 TVS Apache RTR 180 Rivals: 

 
Honda Hornet as well as Bajaj’s Pulsar 180, Pulsar 180F, Pulsar NS200 and Avenger Street 180 are direct competitors to the Apache RTR 180 in terms of engine capacity. 

Other rivals include Suzuki Gixxer variants, KTM 200, Yamaha R-15, MT-15 and FZ.

TVS Apache RTR 200 4v BS 6: Road Test Review

Apache RTR 200 4V

Apache RTR 200 4v has already established itself as one of the most dependable offerings from TVS since its introduction in 2016. It is still the flagship product in the RTR series which comprises of a number of equally reputed bikes. It was updated to the newest BS 6 emission standards a few months back and the company also used this opportunity to introduce a slew of new updates which make its arsenal more complete.

Apart from a BS 6-compliant engine, the RTR 200 4v BS 6 receives a new Bluetooth-enabled instrument console, a new headlamp cluster with LED unit, minor styling tweaks here and there, and a new feature called GTT - Glide Through Technology. So, it’s not just an emission update, but the bike has received a number of additional changes which make the new flagship RTR a heavily updated model over its previous BS 4 version.

On the outside, the main visual highlight of the new RTR is an all-new LED headlight unit with eyebrow-shaped DRLs. Once linked to the smartphone via a dedicated application, it shows all the fancy informatics such as call and message alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, race telemetry, among other highlights. This sure is something that’s still not found among its competing bikes. Also, not to forget, the rest of the basic information is also displayed in clear and legible format.

Among cosmetic update are new graphics as it gets outlines of red with carbon-fibre finish, while previously, it was found with solid red graphics. Save for these updates, there is no other styling change on the bike. While the overall general plastics and built quality on the Apache are nothing to complain of, the space below the speedometer - with an odd metal gap - looks unfinished.

How about the updated engine?

The bike's 197 cc single cylinder air-cooled engine fires up with a feather-touch ignition switch. The engine is now cleaner and complies with the latest BS 6 emission norms. One thing that's instantly noticeable is that its exhaust haven't lost its meaty note and it still sounds the same. Though with the new update it has lost about 1.3 Nm of torque at 16.8 Nm, but the overall power figure remains the same at 20.5 PS. To compensate for the new emission norms, TVS has also increased the peak rpm for power and torque figures which now arrive higher in the range at 8500 rpm and 7500 rpm.

Despite the change, there is no noticeable difference in its overall engine performance. It still has a punchy low-end and manages to accelerate from 0-60 kmph around 3.9 to 4 seconds. It still feels quick on its feet and there’s barely any noticeable difference when you compare it against the previous model. But one thing that’s still sorely missed is the 6th gear, especially on highways. The rpm band hits 7,000 when you are cruising at around 90-95 kmph, above which the engine starts to stress and minor vibrations start creeping in towards the foot pegs and other body parts.

Unlike some of its competition bikes however, the engine heating is managed well even when trundling in choked city traffic.

How is it to ride?

The KYB front fork and the rear monoshock on the flagship RTR continue to deliver a supple yet comfortable ride on the daily roads. The setup soaks up all the bumps and undulations without any drama, but the real fun begins around corners where it truly comes into its elements. It is all smiles when taking a dive around a corner and there it reflects how it has benefited from TVS' racing experience. Its confidence-inspiring chassis lets you take high-speed turns without breaking a sweat.

Braking, on the other hand, isn’t the strongest. The front 270 mm disc brake felt like it lacks the bite needed for its speeds, while the rear 240 mm disc does a decent job, which can also be credited to the new grippier Eurogrip rubber at the back. It now also receives Dual Channel ABS as standard which is a welcome addition keeping the overall safety in mind.

In the new BS 6 avatar, the RTR 200 4v still continues to be one of the most well-rounded motorcycles in the 200 cc category. It commands a price tag of ₹1.28 lakh in Delhi which, after a couple of recent hikes, is now around 14K higher than the last BS 4 model. Well honestly, this is quite a lot especially in this segment, but placing it against its Austrian rivals, the Apache still makes sense if you are looking for a sorted everyday ride that ticks all the right boxes and still doesn’t charge a bomb.
