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.

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

At its core is a 125cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine compliant with OBD-2B norms and equipped with Suzuki Eco Performance (SEP) technology. This engine delivers 6.2 kW at 6,500 rpm and torque of 10.2 Nm at 5,000 rpm, ensuring smooth performance in city traffic.

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.
