Striking New Design
Launched on January 16, 2025, at Bharat Mobility Expo, the Suzuki Access 125 dazzles with a refreshed, modern look that’s captivating Indian riders. Its sharper LED headlamp with a signature DRL, sleek side panels with crease lines, and redesigned LED tail-lamp evoke a premium vibe, reminiscent of the Suzuki Hayabusa’s elegance. Available in five stylish colors—Metallic Mat Stellar Blue, Pearl Grace White, Metallic Mat Black No. 2, Solid Ice Green, and Pearl Shiny Beige—its 1870 mm length, 105–106 kg kerb weight, and 160 mm ground clearance ensure agile urban handling, rivaling the Hero Maestro Edge 125’s sporty appeal. The dark tan seat cover adds a touch of sophistication, making it a fan favorite.
Efficient Power and Mileage
Powered by a 124cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder, BS6 Phase 2 engine with Suzuki Eco Performance (SEP) technology, the Access 125 delivers 8.3 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 10.2 Nm at 5,000 rpm, paired with a CVT gearbox. Its OBD2-B compliance and Euro 5+ emission standards enhance fuel efficiency, with an ARAI-claimed mileage of ~50 kmpl (real-world ~45–48 kmpl). The 5.3-liter fuel tank offers a ~250 km range, competitive with the Hero Super Splendor’s efficiency but less than the Maruti Fronx’s range. The engine’s quiet start and smooth acceleration make it ideal for city commutes, though it’s less sporty than the Yamaha R15 V5.
Feature-Packed for Convenience
The Access 125 shines with a Bluetooth-enabled digital LCD console (Ride Connect Edition) offering turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS/WhatsApp alerts, rain alerts, fuel consumption data, and digital wallet integration via the Suzuki Ride Connect app, outpacing the TVS XL100’s basic tech. Dual front pockets, a 24.4-liter underseat storage (up from 21.8 liters), an external fuel filler with a lockable flap, and a USB charging port add practicality. The telescopic front forks, swingarm-mounted rear shock, and 12-inch front/10-inch rear wheels ensure a comfy ride, while the combi-braking system (CBS) with a 190 mm front disc (optional) and rear drum enhances safety, though it lacks ABS unlike the Honda QC1.
Comfort and Rider Love
With a 780 mm seat height and spacious floorboard, the Access 125 offers a relaxed riding position, ideal for daily rides, with a premium leather-like seat and aluminum footrests ensuring pillion comfort, unlike the Piaggio Ape E-City’s utilitarian focus. Its 1260 mm wheelbase and lightweight frame make it nimble, though some note a firm ride on rough roads compared to the Mahindra Thar Roxx’s plush suspension. Social media buzz on X highlights its “new look and dhamakedar features,” with customers praising its style and practicality, cementing its market dominance. Hero’s service network adds reliability, though minor fitment issues have been reported.
Price, Variants, and Market Impact
Starting at ₹81,700 (Standard Drum), ₹88,200 (Special Disc), and ₹93,300 (Ride Connect Disc) (ex-showroom, Delhi), with on-road prices at ~₹94,500–1.07 lakh, the Access 125 undercuts the TVS Jupiter 125 and competes with the Honda Activa 125. Its three variants and five colors cater to diverse buyers, with over 60 lakh units sold since 2007, reflecting its popularity. Available at Suzuki dealers, suzukimotorcycle.co.in, or BikeWale, it’s a market looter like a 1943 Lincoln Wheat Penny, winning hearts with style, efficiency, and features in India’s 125cc scooter segment.
