New Suzuki Access 125

Engine & Transmission

Peak power is a little lower than the older iteration, but torque delivery is now more accessible within the rev range. In real-world driving, that means stronger responsiveness at practical speeds.

During his evaluation, Amaan observed,

“The Access still feels like it understands its job. It really does not try to impress you with drama, as it just gives you consistency.”

City Riding Experience

In the context of urban traffic, we have seen that the throttle response is progressive, and standstill acceleration is clean. Up to 60 kmph, it is more eager than its numbers allow, especially on short bursts between signals. Vibrations are minimal, and engine sound is controlled even with assertive throttle input. Under stop/start operations, there is no jerky engagement in the CVT calibration, contributing to the smoothness of low-speed modulation.

Amaan noted during his city evaluation,

“When one twists the throttle in traffic, it still displays a clean pair of heels to most everyday scooters.”

Highway Riding Experience

Although mostly intended for urban use, the Access 125 copes with short runs on the highway with composure. It cruises comfortably between 75 and 80 kmph without sounding strained, and the vibration levels are contained within acceptable limits. Beyond 85 kmph, there is progressively less acceleration. The scooter will eventually approach triple-digit indicated speeds, but sustained riding at those figures is not its intended use case.
