Refreshed Suzuki Access 125 launched in India at Rs 48,512

Suzuki has launched the updated Access 125 in India at Rs 48,512 (ex-showroom Delhi). The Access 125 is the Japanese manufacturer’s top-selling scooter in India and with the new cosmetic upgrades, Suzuki will aim at retaining the novelty factor of the scooter.

Changes to the new Suzuki Access 125 include a new aluminium grab rail, a revamped steel fender at the front, 3D 'Access 125' logos on the side, and Suzuki branding on the front apron. Besides these cosmetic updates, the Access 125 also gets a new maintenance-free battery and tubeless tyres.

The Access 125 is powered by a four-stroke, single-cylinder engine produces 8.5bhp and 9.8Nm of torque which is mated to a CVT gearbox. It also gets central locking and a safety shutter for the key slot. The Access 125 is available in five paint schemes - glass sparkle black, candy antares red, metallic matte fibroin grey, pearl mirage white and metallic sonic silver.

Since the past few months, the scooter market in India has been seeing a tremendous growth. Last month, the Honda Activa became the top-selling two-wheeler in the country as it overtook the country’s favourite motorcycle, the Hero Splendor. Suzuki currently has a 12 per cent market share, a major chunk of which is made up by the scooters in its line-up. Suzuki has plans to introduce six new two-wheelers this year, four of which will be scooters.
