Suzuki Motorcycle India (SMIPL), the subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, held the Suzuki Access Mileage Contest in Rupnagar (Ropar), Punjab. The initiative involved 40 Suzuki Access owners and prospective buyers to evaluate the scooter’s fuel efficiency in city conditions.

The contest is part of a series of customer engagement events designed to demonstrate the mileage, pickup, and build quality of the Suzuki Access. The event was organised in association with Soni Suzuki and focused on real-world performance metrics for daily commuting.

The event targeted owners who purchased their scooters within the last year. To ensure transparency, the contest followed a specific testing protocol, where participants rode on designated city roads covering a distance of 20 kilometres. Scooters started with a full tank. Upon completion of the route, tanks were refilled to determine the exact fuel consumed. The mileage for each participant was calculated based on the fuel used over the 20-kilometre distance.

In addition to the mileage runs, the event included test rides for prospective customers and feedback sessions with existing owners regarding vehicle reliability and comfort.

Deepak Mutreja, Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, Suzuki Motorcycle India, said, “The Suzuki Access Mileage Contest places a strong focus on fuel efficiency, bringing our brand promise of ‘Pickup Bhi, Mileage Bhi, Shandar Quality Ke Sath’ to life. By riding on city roads, participants experience the scooter’s real-world mileage. Along with mileage, customers also get to experience the quality and reliability that have made the Access a trusted choice of over 6 million customers. We appreciate the participation from customers in Rupnagar. We will continue to extend such on-ground initiatives to more cities across India, allowing customers to connect closely with our two-wheelers and witness their performance firsthand.”

Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles has announced the release of the Yezdi Roadster ‘Red Wolf’ edition as a retrospective reference to the brand’s 1970s icons, featuring deep-red paint and chrome detailing across the engine, exhaust and handlebars.

The motorcycle is positioned as a long-haul roadster and will be available at authorised dealerships across India at an introductory price of Rs 2,09,950 (ex-showroom Delhi).

The Red Wolf is powered by a 350 Alpha2 liquid-cooled engine. It features a segment-first 6-speed gearbox equipped with an assist and slipper clutch. It gets dual-channel ABS from Continental with 320mm front and 240mm rear discs. Telescopic front forks and dual rear shocks, 795mm seat height and 171mm ground clearance, widest-in-segment rear tyre and 12.5-litre fuel tank providing a range exceeding 350 km.

The model incorporates a sculpted fuel tank, wide rear and hugger fenders and a modular solo or pillion seating setup. The ergonomics include centre-forward footpegs to create a relaxed riding triangle for touring. The exterior is finished with LED lighting and a twin-barrel exhaust system.

The motorcycle is supported by an ‘Ownership Assurance Programme’, which includes a standard 4-year or 50,000 km warranty, with options to extend coverage to 6 years. The programme also offers up to 8 years of roadside assistance and maintenance plans covering 5 years across 450 service points.

Anupam Thareja, Co-Founder, Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles, said, “The Red Wolf joins the pack of Roadsters from Yezdi, the only true India-born classic motorcycle brand in the world. It is a name which does not have to invent stories. It has them in every decade. Like a true Yezdi forged in India, the Roadster Red Wolf has the rare ability to set the rider up to look good, almost rakishly so, without trying too hard. Its vintage swagger is a throwback to Yezdi’s palette of deep reds and metallics from the 1970s. Only this time, beneath its unapologetic chrome lies performance engineering built for Indian roads and modern riders. We’ve built Yezdi Roadsters for those who don’t follow the pack. The Red Wolf is ready to gather its own.”
