Design
Honda Activa 6G gets full LED headlamp unit while the Jupiter gets simple halogen headlamps. The Activa 6G has turn indicators on the headlamp unit while Jupiter has the indicators on the front body panel. More or less Design is a very subjective topic so we’ll leave it to you people that which scooter design is better.
Features
Both of them do get telescopic suspension at the front and single hydraulic suspension at the rear. Braking duty for the Honda Activa 6G is done by the drum brakes for both wheels, while the Jupiter is equipped with disc brake at the front and drum brake at the rear. Both these scooters have a combined braking system. The Honda Activa 6G get steel wheels for both front and the rear while the Jupiter gets alloy wheels, which is again a plus point for Jupiter. However, Honda Activa gets full metal body, that makes it very tough scooter but also increases weight simultaneously. TVS Jupiter and Honda Activa have an analogue speedometer. Both the scooter has external fuel lid and also storage spaces for practicality.
Summary
Honda Activa 6G that has the edge on paper. It has slightly better power and torque numbers, and a more impressive feature list whereas more affordable pricing tag is not the only advantage the Jupiter has, as the longer wheelbase and 12-inch rear wheel will give better stability and dynamics.
