Suzuki Access

Suzuki Access OverView

There is no denying the fact that Honda rules the two-wheeler market of India and Activa is the current 'Unbeatable'. But it is also true that if there is one scooter that can ever think of giving the Unbeatable a run for its money, it is the Suzuki Access. Powered by a mighty 124cc engine, this scooter has an impressive performance to offer its users along with a sound security system that would protect their precious ride from theft and tampering. In fact, the biggest drawback that seems to be keeping Access from becoming the market leader is its attire that simply fails to capture enough eyes.

Suzuki Access Designing

1780mm in length, 650mm in width and 1125mm in height, Suzuki Access 125 has a ground clearance of 160mm and wheelbase of 1250mm to offer its riders making the ride spacious, comfortable and jerk-free. With the seat placed at a height of 780mm and the total kerb weight being restricted to a 115kg, the handling of this scooter gets improved and simplified to a great extent. For the riders' comfort, the Access comes with a cushy wide seat that provides ample room and proper padding for both the riders. And under that very seat, a 20 litres storage box that can hold a helmet along with a few other small objects has been located. But, the minus point is that that is the only space that is of any practical use in Access because there is no provision for an inner box in the front of the scooter and the hook in the front is way too low to grab any reasonably sized bag.     

Suzuki Access Engine And Performance

Suzuki India has employed a powerful air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke OHC engine mated with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system to propel its flagship scooter that has a displacement of 124cc and cranks up a maximum of 8.58bhp at 7000rpm for a peak torque of 9.8Nm at 5000rpm which is much higher than the Activa. Dimensioned at 53.5mm x 55.2mm, this carburetted engine can take the Access from 0-60kmph within a time span of 8.98 seconds only while the top speed that Access can dash away at is 88kmph.  

Suzuki Access Braking And Handling

Braking in Access is accomplished with the help of 120mm Drum brakes incorporated in the front and rear wheels. This, in association with 90/100 – 10 inch tyres puts together a very efficient braking mechanism that can bring the ride speeding at 60kmph to a halt after covering a distance of 19.17m. 

Suzuki Access Safety Features

A number of safety features have been loaded in the Access by its makers. A large clear lens, halogen headlamp provides proper illumination at night for improved visibility while at the rear end, tubular grab-rails are provided for the pillion rider that can also be used to mount a spare wheel that would come in handy in case of a flat tyre. The ignition socket gets a shutter mechanism that seals the socket and prevents key-entry thereby reducing the chances of tampering and theft. This ignition unit not only works for start/stop purposes, but is also the source of opening the scooter seat bay. In addition to that, a rear brake clamp enables us to keep the rear brake activated and hence remove any possibility of the scooter getting rolled down a sloping height when on a stand-still.

Suzuki Access Pros

Superb power, brilliant performance, smooth operation and easy handling.

Suzuki Access Cons

Lackluster looks and low mileage.
