In terms of aesthetics, the SmartXonnect variant welcomes two fresh color options: Elegant Red and Matte Copper Bronze.
Meanwhile, the suspension system comprises telescopic forks and a monoshock, ensuring a smooth ride.

Weighing in at 108kg, the scooter rides gracefully on 12-inch alloy wheels, although steel wheels are also available as an option.
Verdict

With its advanced connectivity, additional safety measures, and fresh color options, this model caters to riders seeking a harmonious blend of technology and practicality. Moreover, the retention of the reliable 124.8cc engine and a capacious under-seat storage area solidify the Jupiter 125 as a versatile and compelling choice for urban commuters.
