The Suzuki Access 125 has been launched in India at a price of Rs 58,980 (ex-showroom Delhi). But this time it's packed with CBS (combined braking system), which asks for a premium of Rs 3,935 over the standard variant and Rs 630 over the disc brake variant. As you would have understood by the name, CBS helps in engaging both the brakes (front-disc and rear-drum) when the rear brakes are engaged. It helps alleviate any loss of grip during panic braking situations.  

Along with CBS, Suzuki has also announced a new paint scheme for the Access 125 Special Edition - metallic silver with beige-coloured leather seat. It continues to be powered by the same 124cc air-cooled engine, which produces 8.7PS of power and 10.2Nm of torque. The Access 125 Special Edition costs Rs 60,580 (ex-showroom Delhi).

The Suzuki Access 125 rivals the likes of the Honda Activa 125 and Grazia, both of which get CBS (Combi Brake System) as standard. It also competes against the youth-centric TVS NTorq and Aprilia SR 125 that get the same safety net.

Talking about the launch, Mr. Sajeev Rajasekharan, EVP, Sales and Marketing, SMIPL, said, “The Access 125 has been one of the best-performing scooters not only in its segment, but is also a pioneer in the industry. It offers a blend of power, economy and premium appeal. The new CBS update on the Access 125 further improves the value proposition. Suzuki is committed to improving and innovating its products to offer best quality products to our customers. We are confident that with the new enhancements, we will be able to add many more customers to the Suzuki family.”

The Access 125 is powered by cutting-edge SEP technology, which boasts of impressive fuel efficiency without compromising power and performance. The CBS on the new Access 125 enables operation of both brakes from the left brake lever, helping in maintaining a good balance between front and rear brake forces. Combined brake reduces the braking distance under certain conditions.

Suzuki Access 125 CBS guarantees a comfortable ride by offering a long and relaxed seat, enlarged floorboard, large under seat storage, a convenient front pocket, optional DC socket and dual convenient utility hooks. It additionally offers steel front fender and leg shield for added protection and comes with highly rigid frame layout, which results in excellent straight-line stability and cornering performance.

The new Metallic Sonic Silver Special Edition also comes with the special black-coloured alloy-wheels & grab rail combined for a sporty image, and a special round shaped chrome mirrors, which give a distinctive appearance to the scooter. The Special Edition logo emblem lends the Access 125 a further unique identity.

Besides Metallic Sonic Silver, the Access 125 Special Edition will be available in existing colours - Metallic Matte Black and Pearl Mirage White. The Access 125 CBS will be available in all existing six premium colours - Pearl Suzuki Deep Blue, Candy Sonoma Red, Glass Sparkle Black, Metallic Fibroin Gray, Metallic Sonic Silver and Pearl Mirage White. The new Access 125 CBS starts at INR 58,980 (ex-showroom, New Delhi) and the Special Edition is priced for INR 60,580 (Ex-showroom New Delhi).
