The Access 125 variant we tested is the one with the optional front disk brake. Well, for one, we found the disc to work effectively well in shaving-off speed effortlessly when some locals tried to test our braking ability. The updated Access 125 has a lot of room on offer. It gets one of the longest seats in its segment and also a large under-seat storage of 21 litres. So you can chuck in quite a few things, but there won’t be enough room for your full-face helmet.
To sum it up, the all-new Suzuki Access 125 is lighter, more comfortable, fuel efficient and better looking scooter than its last iteration. At Rs 53, 887 ( ex-showroom Delhi) for the base model, it's also a couple of grand cheaper than the Honda Activa 125. While price for the disk brake variant is yet to be announced, we’re sure that it will undercut the Honda on price once more. It’s seriously very hard to find fault with this one. Honda better roll up its sleeves, because definitely it’s on now.
Specs:
Single-cylinder, 124cc, carbureted, 8.58bhp, 10.2Nm, CVT, 102kg; fuel tank: 5.6 litres, fuel efficiency: 45kpl
Verdict: A thorough effort from Suzuki to revive one of its popular scooters. It can make life difficult for the Activa 125
