  • Thanks to its short wheelbase and low curb weight, the Honda Activa H-Smart is a bit easier to maneuver in tight spaces. On the other hand, TVS Jupiter ZX will be more stable at higher speeds.
  • Although both the scooters share the same frame type and suspension setup, the Jupiter ZX’s disc brakes give it an edge over the Activa H-Smart.
