Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL) showcased an extensive portfolio of multi-pathway mobility solutions at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, centred on the theme 'Spectrum of Mobility'.

The highlight was the unveiling of Suzuki’s first electric scooter, the e-ACCESS, a bold step toward electric mobility. The company also introduced the all-new Access 125, offering a blend of urban elegance, superior engine performance and modern features for an enhanced commuting experience. Further broadening its portfolio, Suzuki launched its inaugural E85-compliant motorcycle, the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel, aimed at propelling India towards a carbon-neutral future.

Talking about the new products unveiled, Suzuki Motorcycle India Managing Director Kenichi Umeda, said, “Spectrum of Mobility - the theme for this year’s Bharat Mobility Global Expo, resonates with Suzuki’s commitment to carbon neutrality and its multi-pathway approach to realizing this goal. At Suzuki Motorcycle India, this vision comes to life through the introduction of our new products: e-ACCESS, our first electric scooter, the ethanol-compatible GIXXER SF 250 Flex Fuel and the new Access with improved fuel economy. Serving our customers with the highest level of satisfaction and hospitality remains our top priority”.

Speaking at the event Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, President Toshihiro Suzuki said, “At Suzuki Motor Corporation, we are committed to our goal of carbon neutrality through a multi-pathway approach. While battery electric vehicles play an important role, they are not the only way to the carbon neutrality. We are also focusing on alternative options such as E-Fuels, Hydrogen Engines, Bio-Fuel models, and better fuel economy in internal combustion engines. The Indian market is largest for Suzuki, and we are committed to the market. By staying true to our mission of creating products of superior value and focusing on customer satisfaction, we aim to grow further in the motorcycle business and contribute meaningfully to customers’ needs.”

The e-Access

The e-Access represents Suzuki’s commitment to quality and innovation, delivering on key promises of style, performance, reliability, practicality and connectivity. Powered by a rigorously tested 3.07 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, the e-Access ensures enhanced safety, long battery life, and durability. Its fixed battery pack, securely housed within the frame, provides additional protection.

Charging options cater to both home and portable use, with a full charge achievable in 6 hours and 42 minutes using a portable charger or 2 hours and 12 minutes with a fast charger. Suzuki’s proprietary E-technology powers the EV drivetrain, enabling a maximum speed of 71 km/h, peak power output of 4.1 kW, and torque of 15 Nm. The scooter offers a range of 95 km per charge, with energy consumption rated at 39Wh/km.

Advanced features include three drive modes—Eco, Ride A, and Ride B—plus a reverse mode for convenience. Safety is prioritised with systems like side-stand interlock and tip-over detection. The keyless system enables remote locking and unlocking, while a multi-function starter switch integrates controls for seat opening, steering lock, and charging inlet. Both centre and side stands further enhance practicality.

A vibrant TFT LCD screen and smartphone integration via the Suzuki Ride Connect-E app offer real-time navigation and traffic updates. Premium design details include raised nameplates and a metallic-finish chrome "S" emblem. The e-Access will debut in three dual-tone colour schemes: Metallic Mat Black No. 2/Metallic Mat Bordeaux Red, Pearl Grace White/Metallic Mat Fibroin Grey, and Pearl Jade Green/Metallic Mat Fibroin Grey. Pricing will be revealed closer to launch.

All-New Access 125: Urban Mobility Refined

The scooter’s design enhancements include an LED position light, LED tail lamp, and a front lock-operated external fuel lid. Practicality is increased with dual front pockets, expanded under-seat storage, and a larger fuel tank. Rider comfort is prioritised with an improved rear suspension layout, ergonomic seating, and aluminium footrests. Safety features include a passing switch, hazard switch, and brake lock on the rear left lever.

The Bluetooth-enabled multi-function digital instrument cluster now offers new features such as calendar and rain alerts, ambient weather updates, periodic service notifications, a digital wallet, and renewal reminders, all accessible via the Suzuki Ride Connect app.

Equipped with a high-performance, BS-VI compliant 250cc engine, the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel operates on ethanol-blended fuels with concentrations of up to 85 percent (E85). This innovation not only reduces CO2 emissions but also aligns with global carbon-neutrality goals.

The single-cylinder engine, powered by Suzuki’s Oil Cooling System (SOCS) and Eco Performance (SEP) technology, offers a robust output of 20.5 kW (27.9 PS) at 9,300 rpm on E85 fuel and 20 kW (27.2 PS) at 9,300 rpm on E20 fuel. Torque is rated at 22.5 Nm at 7,300 rpm, ensuring powerful yet efficient performance. Compact in design, the engine prioritises low fuel consumption, high durability, and ease of maintenance.

To support ethanol-based fuels, the motorcycle incorporates upgraded components such as a modified injector, fuel pump, and fuel filter, making it fully compatible with E85 fuel.

The Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel boasts a European-inspired aerodynamic design featuring a wide LED headlamp, Gixxer-styled LED tail lamp, and a sporty dual muffler. Its premium aesthetic is enhanced by a split-seat design, dual-channel ABS, a side-stand interlock switch, and Suzuki’s Easy Start System.

Vespa has expanded its Lunar Collection with two new releases that embody elegance and symbolic meaning for the Year of the Horse: the limited-edition Vespa 946 Horse scooter and the IN SELLA fashion capsule, the third drop of the AL VENTO collection. The scooter is a tribute to the horse's regal and resilient spirit, while the apparel line offers a contemporary sartorial interpretation of the same theme, both crafted with meticulous Italian artistry.

The Vespa 946 Horse distinguishes itself through a deep bay colour, mirroring the glossy coat of a horse. Its steel body is reimagined with contrasting matte and gloss finishes, accented by refined golden details such as the V monogram set within a horseshoe beneath the saddle. Exemplifying Italian craftsmanship, the model features a hand-stitched leather saddle inspired by equestrian tack, with matching premium leather trims on the handlebars and mirrors. A coordinated set of accessories includes a practical leather rear bag and a jet helmet adorned with a three-dimensional gold V, reinforcing the edition’s strong identity.

Parallel to the scooter, the IN SELLA fashion collection is designed for those who view style as an authentic personal expression. It introduces a new Royal crest, a contemporary graphic featuring a symmetrically mirrored horse and dachshund, inspired by Vespa’s archives. This emblem is showcased on a wool varsity jacket enhanced with gold embroidery. The line utilises a timeless navy blue palette, with knitwear incorporating the V monogram and stitching details reminiscent of saddlery. The offering includes modern sweatshirts, T-shirts and an ironic poplin shirt depicting a man in a Vespa helmet and a horse enjoying espresso together. Completing the lifestyle range is the Vespa Royal blanket, crafted in soft wool with a jacquard logo and contrasting red fringes.

The Vespa 946 Horse is now available for pre-order on the company website and at the VESPA THE EMPTY SPACE store in Milan, where it is exclusively displayed. The IN SELLA collection launches simultaneously for purchase online and at the Milan store, where the matching Horse helmet will also be available for preview ahead of its limited release on 10 February.

Ergonomically, the motorcycle is crafted for serious adventure, offering an upright riding position, off-road footpegs and a rally-style windscreen designed for all-day comfort during long tours or technical trail riding. Interaction is facilitated through a modern 5-inch full-colour TFT display, which offers customisable data and excellent visibility. The system is further enhanced by KTMconnect, enabling smartphone integration for calls, music and optional navigation directly on the instrument cluster, while a standard USB Type-C port keeps devices charged.
