Suzuki Access 125
A no-drama commuter that trades braking hardware for a lower price tag
In short
The Access 125 is Suzuki's everyday commuter scooter, aimed at riders who want low running costs over sportiness. It is powered by a 124cc air-cooled engine making 8.3bhp, starts at ₹84,729, and returns a real-world 44-49kmpl, but even the ₹1,04,813 top trim makes do with drum brakes front and rear instead of a disc.

Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
The Access 125 is sold in 6 variants, from ₹84,729 for the Standard to ₹1,04,813 for the Ride Connect TFT ABS Edition, ex-showroom Delhi.
That makes it priced 16th lowest among the 26 petrol scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Xoom 125 (₹1,357 more) and the Ray ZR 125 (₹2,909 less).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹98,000 for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
Standard | ₹84,729 | |
Special Edition | ₹91,172 | |
Ride Connect Edition | ₹93,285 | |
Ride Connect TFT Edition | ₹96,430 | |
Ride Connect ABS Edition | ₹99,564 | |

Mileage
Access 125's claimed mileage is 47 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 44–49 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Among the 25 scooters we have reviewed it ranks 19th for mileage, 2 kmpl below the group average of 49 kmpl.
Engine and ride
The 124cc air-cooled engine makes 8.3 bhp and 10.2 Nm through a CVT automatic. With a kerb weight of 106 kg that is 78 bhp per tonne, 9th best power-to-weight of the 25 scooters in this class we have reviewed.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.
Chassis hardware includes a combi-brake system, with a drum, 1 piston caliper up front and drum at the rear.
Seat height is a low 773 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Access 125 is not trying to be exciting, and that is fine. It is a scooter built for the ride to work, the ride back, and not much drama in between. At a starting price of ₹84,729 for the standard variant, rising to ₹1,04,813 for the top Ride Connect TFT ABS edition, it sits in the thick of the 125cc scooter fight, competing on running cost rather than outright polish.
Riding it every day
The 124cc engine makes a modest 8.3bhp and 10.2Nm, enough for filtering through traffic and holding its own up to 90kmph on the highway, but overtaking needs planning. Suzuki's real-world mileage of 44-49kmpl is respectable for the class, helped by idle start-stop, though it does not match the class-leading Destini 125's claimed 59kmpl. The low 773mm seat height and 106kg kerb weight make it easy to manage at traffic signals, and the flat floorboard swallows a grocery bag or a school bag without fuss.
What to know before buying
The one thing that should give buyers pause is braking. Every one of the six variants, right up to the ₹1,04,813 trim, uses drums front and rear with only CBS to link them, not a disc anywhere. In monsoon traffic or on wet flyovers that is worth weighing against rivals with more feature depth for similar money.
Who should buy it
Anyone buying their first scooter, or a family that wants a second, low-maintenance vehicle for short city hops, should shortlist the Access 125. Riders who want a front disc, alloy wheels as standard, or genuine highway comfort would typically be better served looking at the Avenis from Suzuki's own range or the Ntorq 125.
Features and colours
- Combi-brake (CBS)
- Tubeless tyres
- Side-stand engine cut-off
- Hazard lamps
- LED headlamp
- LED daytime running lamp
- LED tail lamp
- Digital console
- USB charging port
- Idle start-stop
- +1 more
On safety kit the Access 125 has combi-brake (cbs), tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. There is no ABS, which is legal at this engine size but worth knowing before a wet-weather ride.
Against Activa 125, Jupiter 125 or Jupiter 110, it gets hazard lamps and led daytime running lamp that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: front disc brake, alloy wheels and external fuel filler, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 6 colours: Metallic Mat Black, Pearl Grace White, Metallic Mat Stellar Blue, Solid Ice Green, Pearl Shiny Beige and Pearl Mat Aqua Silver. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 2 years or 24,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 4,000 km.
Suzuki runs a limited sales and service network in India, at roughly 1,200 touchpoints. Check the nearest workshop before buying if you live outside a metro; a 40 km ride for every service adds up.
The Access 125 launched in 2025, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
