- 2024 TVS Jupiter 110 will be offered in four different variants and new colour options.
In the competitive landscape that 110cc scooters belong to, it becomes imperative to have comfort, performance, and, of course, affordability. TVS has just brought out a facelift to its popular Jupiter 110 in a bid to retain its overwhelming dominance.
The TVS Jupiter has for quite some time now been one of the most potent challengers to the Honda Activa in this class. More recently, it was joined by the Hero Xoom 110, but seeking just a piece of the pie. Let’s compare the Jupiter 110 and the Hero Xoom 110, talking about the specifications and their relative value.
TVS Jupiter 110 vs Hero Xoom 110: Dimensions
For starters, the larger platform of the 125cc sibling adopted by the 2024 TVS Jupiter 110 has helped to enhance the overall riding experience, at least in terms of space. If one is to compare with Hero Xoom 110, it is a bit longer in overall length than the Jupiter, but where the latter is narrower in width and taller in height to provide a more upright riding position that some riders may like.

While the Xoom enjoys slight advantages in wheelbase and weight, it gets thoroughly outclassed by Jupiter’s bigger platform and rearward-shifted fuel tank to accommodate more space under the seat. This additional storage space can carry helmets, bags, or other items which a rider may want to carry. The under-seat storage on the Jupiter is claimed to have enough room to fit two half-face helmets.
TVS Jupiter 110 vs Hero Xoom 110:Specs
While both the TVS Jupiter 110 and the Hero Xoom 110 both have engines of a similar displacement, their performance characteristics are a little different. The Jupiter’s engine is available in two states of tune, with and without the ‘iGo Assist’ feature. Even though the Xoom develops a wee bit more peak power, the Jupiter makes more torque, especially when fitted with ‘iGo Assist’, possibly translating into better performance in terms of acceleration and hill-climbing abilities in certain driving conditions.
