Suzuki Avenis vs TVS Jupiter: Design Dimensions, and Suspension
Outrightly, the Suzuki Avenis might slightly remind you of the TVS Ntorq, which is not that bad. The apron designs are all new with their own unique flairs of more lines and cuts, and faux air vents. A front apron-integrated headlamp is an all-LED unit, so is the unique twin-shaped LED taillight. The Suzuki Avenis gets a sporty-looking big black muffler that is expected to have a deep grunt, which remains to be seen. Suspensions duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front, and a swing arm set just like the one on Burgman Street, for the rear wheels. The Avenis gets 21.8-liters of under-seat storage space.
Dimension-wise, the Avenis quite bigger than the Jupiter 125, as can be seen in the table below:
| Dimensions | Suzuki Avenis | TVS Jupiter 125 |
| length*width*height | 1895*710*1175 mm^3 | 1852*681*1168 mm^3 |
| Wheelbase | 1265 mm | 1275 mm |
| Ground Clearance | 160 mm | 163 mm |
| Fuel Capacity | 5.2 Liters | 5.1 Liters |
| Kerb Weight | 106 Kg | 108 Kg |
| Suspension Front | Telescopic | Telescopic Hydraulic |
| Suspension Rear | Single Rear Shock Absorber | Monotube Inverted Gas-filled shox (MIG) with Spring aid 3 step adjustable |
| Underseat Storage | 21.8liters | 33 liters |
The TVS Jupiter 125 sits on a highly rigid under-bone tubular type frame. It translates down to a solid structure that is high on space. This is demonstrated by the space between the handlebar and the seat, and a large 33-liter of under-seat storage space. The design is much simpler compared to the Avenis as well. The headlight unit is all-LED, and so are the rear taillamps. The retro-styled seats are missed in the Jupiter 125, but the long flat seat keeps matter comfortable during city rides. Besides, the body suspends on telescopic hydraulics at the front and a MIG-Shox with spring aid 3-step adjustable for the rear.
