TVS Jupiter Grande Removed From Official Website

With the coming of the Bharat Stage 6 (BS6) emission norms, two-wheeler companies have been trimming their model portfolio. While a few models have been discontinued temporarily, some have been taken off the line-up permanently. TVS Motor Company has also removed the TVS Jupiter Grande off the official website. The Jupiter is TVS' best-selling scooter and currently, it has three BS6 compliant variants which are the Standard, ZX, and the Classic. The Jupiter Grande was the top-spec model launched in October 2018. It was discontinued in June 2019 but made a comeback in September 2019. It was the first 110 cc scooter in India to have smartphone connectivity as a feature. Team carandbike reached out to TVS for a comment and this is what TVS had to say.

"TVS Motor Company was among the first to transition to BS-VI in India. We introduced India's first dual platform BS-VI Fi , namely, RT-Fi (Race Tuned Fuel injection) and ET-Fi (Ecothrust Fuel injection). ET-Fi technology provides enhanced overall performance across driveability, smoothness, and enhancement fuel economy. In line with its Zyada ka Fayda philosophy, TVS Jupiter range comes equipped with ET-Fi technology and many best-in-class features. TVS Jupiter Grande was a special edition like the Scooter Of The Year and MillionR editions which TVS Jupiter introduces for select periods to infuse greater excitement and choice for our consumer. The BS-VI TVS Jupiter ET-Fi range, ensures that our consumers get uncompromised value in terms of 15 per cent better mileage and best-in-class features."

The TVS Jupiter Grande featured smartphone connectivity with TVS' SmartXonnect Bluetooth connectivity system. It was priced at Rs. 59,900 (ex-showroom) when it was launched, which was just Rs. 7,000 more expensive than the standard Jupiter variant. The connectivity system is the same as the one available on the TVS NTorq 125, and will allow riders to connect both Android and iOS smartphones to access features like call notification, text notification, over speeding alert, trip report and more.

The Jupiter Grande also had a few cosmetic changes over the regular models in form of 3D emblem, a tech blue colour scheme, splashes of chrome, beige interior panels, machine cut alloy wheels and a standard disc brake up front. The other mechanicals and cycle parts stayed the same which was a 109.7 cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine, which puts out 7.9 bhp of power at 7,500 rpm and 8.4 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm. Whether TVS will re-launch the Jupiter Grande with a BS6 engine or not, is still unclear at the moment.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.
