  • Activa vs Jupiter vs Duet - which one to buy ?

    Hi All


    I am an owner of Aviator 110 cc from last 4 years. Daily commute is 30 kms to office (both ways) .


    Height - 6 feet
    Weight - 95 kgs
    Monthly usage - 800 kms


    I am confused between Activa, Jupiter and Duet. Activa is all round winner but Jupiter has got good pickup and telescopic suspension. But Jupiter's engine is noisy. Duet has all steel body but only 10 inch tyres. So I am totally confused


    Please suggest which scooter should I buy so that I can enjoy it hassle free for next 5-6 years


    Regards
    Sumit

    Query Approved

    Among the three i prefer the Jupiter, the bigger wheels and better suspension make a big difference on our fantastic roads!

        In the racket of Gurgaon you won't be able to hear the sound of a loud aftermarket exhaust let alone a little scoot

        But yes, the engine isn't as refined as the Activa. A trade-off which in my opinion is worth it.

              I bought the access after 1500km on the jupiter. the seat is way too soft and the the pickup is just lacking compared to the access. The ride is stiffer on the access but can be equalised if you sit on the center of the seat, a little away from the rear suspension. Engine is much quieter on the access too

                So you mean to say..Pickup of Access > Jupiter..Shockers of Jupiter > Shockers of Access, Noise of Jupiter > Noise of Access

                Overall which one of these two has a better ride quality ? Jupiter or Access ?

                Thanks

                        Hai

                        Please try Activa 125. It is has got good pickup and also comes with disc brake.

                        Cheers

                              The Jupiter felt better than the Grazia in seating and suspension but lesser cc and far inferior lights .
                              seating and suspension..hmm..i think is greater than cc and lights ?
