Honda NX500 vs TVS Jupiter 125

The Honda NX500 (2025) and the TVS Jupiter 125 (2025) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Honda NX500 is a adventure bike with 471 cc, 46.9 hp and 196 kg; the TVS Jupiter 125 is a scooter with 125 cc, 8.1 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 173.2 hp/ton versus 40.8 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda NX500 is 325% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda NX500 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 5.11 s and the TVS Jupiter 125 in 38.88 s; the Honda NX500 is quicker by 33.77 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.9 m for the Honda NX500 (with ABS) and 17.9 m for the TVS Jupiter 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda NX500 stops 3.0 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 152 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 91 km/h (manufacturer claim).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda NX500 and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the TVS Jupiter 125. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.
