    Equipped with several new features, the Access 125 has undergone a generational jump and thus is more evolved to cater to Indian users. In addition to being feature laden, the design team has ensured that the glamour quotient of this model goes up significantly. Interestingly, the features on the ACCESS have been provided to look at the rider’s ACCESS, i.e. Attractiveness, Comfort, Convenience, Environment, Security and Style!

    Styled with a smart new Steel Fender, the new Access 125 is as sturdy as it is attractive. The provision of Tubeless Tyres on the scooter means the tyres are easily repairable and you don’t have to worry about getting your hands dirty! The new Access 125 frees the rider from the hassle of recurring battery checks, as it comes with a Maintenance Free Battery. The Telescopic Front Fork Suspension for the Access 125 means the rider is always confident of its stability while braking and bad road conditions, a very important feature. Even the pillion riders have been treated very fairly by providing the new Access 125 with a stylish aluminum grab bar!

    On the attractiveness front, the new scooter sports a cool new 3D “Access” emblem and ‘S’ logo, giving it a trendy and edgy look. The Access 125 will be available in a dazzling new color - Metallic Matte Fibroin Grey. The Access Special Edition has also been equipped with all the latest features of the Access 125. The Access Special Edition also sports an inner leg shield and speedometer cover which is color coordinated with the seat color which gives the scooter a youthful and stylish look (only for Pearl Mirage White).

    Atul Gupta, Executive Vice President, Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL), -

    “Suzuki Access is a long-time favourite among scooter riders. In fact, it is one of the most successful models in the 125cc scooter segment, loved and supported by over a million Access users. The purpose of launching this next generation Access was to increase our presence in the segment and also offer more to our customers. We want to enrich their riding experience and want them to feel a sense of pride while owning an Access. The new features of the Access 125 and Access Special edition are a manifestation of Suzuki’s philosophy of focusing on customer satisfaction and creating customer delight.”

    ACCESS 125 -

    The Access 125 is a sporty scooter, designed exclusively for every member of the Indian family. Powered by a 125cc air cooled, 4-stroke engine, the Suzuki Access is equipped with automatic transmission for convenience, and it is also equipped with Xtra Torque Performance (XTP) for more power and faster pick up. Its attractive and aerodynamic styling, with clean lines ensures everlasting beauty.

    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


    THE END

            Access is a wonderful surprising scooter. Last weekend 3 friends and i went to sulathan bathery, Wayanad from calicut city (120kms) on two access just for fun. Surprisingly even with pillion and climbing the famous thamarassery ghats none of us was tired. Felt so refreshed after reaching home and planning for more rides now

              Following leader? I don't know what u meant by that, xtp jargon? XTP stands for eXtra Torque Power,they have been using that jargon since its launch in 2007. The access engine makes 1 Kgm torque at only 5k rpm. To understand if it works or not ride one . I have one and I know it makes lot of torque low down and brings a smile on my face, every time I ride one.

                1. whether you or me like it or not, the activa is the market leader in the segment (at least for now)
                2. let xtp stand for xtreme torque power or extra torque power... what i asked is HOW is this achieved/implemented ? For example take HET from Honda, at least they provide some background on it:
                Honda
                Honda Worldwide | January 17, 2013 "Honda Opens New Technical Center in India"
                Honda Eco Technology (HET)

                3. Yes, i have ridden a access (not the xtp model though) and yes being a 125cc it has a little more oomph compared to the 110cc activa, but now even the activa has a 125cc which i rode recently and it felt much more refined than the access.

                  I too have a activa at my brother's place, both suzuki and Honda have their strengths and minuses. U love the Honda and I the Suzuki. The access was always tagged as xtp since the beginning, so what u have ridden is the xtp model only

                    Ok my bad, i did not know or pay attention to suzuki's xtp term earlier.
                    But I am still waiting to understand what xtp is.. it has nothing to do with my love for any particular brand. I merely want to understand the technology behind xtp or is it just a marketing tag.
                    For example lets take the old cbz, it was marketed as having TPFC, which was an accelerator pump mechanism along with the carb , the yamaha rx 135's had YEIS Yamaha energy induction system (a boost bottle connected at the intake manifold), bajaj has trics (throttle response ignition control system) that manages ignition timings... so there you go... If xtp just means it has more torque, then please note the new activa 125 has more torque than the access 125.

                      The access is a 8 year old product, the activa knew what the benchmark was, they bettered it. The access delivers it's torque at 500 revvs less than the activa. Regarding xtp u will have to talk to suzuki

                        Nearly 2L Activa (110 + 125) were sold last month. Yes, Honda is market leader. We don't know how many of those(1,91,879) are Activa125, does any body know?

                        We can only speculate here about XTP. Easy to agree that it's a just marketing jargon. Oh, XTP is not showing up on current GS150R !!!

                        Suzuki's : SEP
                        Honda : HET
                        Yamaha : Blue Core
                        etc

                        Little tweaks/adjustments to enhance efficiency/performance on par with evolving technology doesn't need these fancy jargon. However, they're markers/labels for easy references.

                        Yes, Activa125 is better than Access125 in performance, very well established with VBOX 0-60 kmph timings.

                        Does India have any system in place to cross-verify the claimed performance figures?
                        Heck, does even ARAI make mileage figures public on the site?

                        This update ought have come couple of years back. Being an under performer one shouldn't adopt reactive strategy.

                          ok then let me reply in your context:
                          Suzuki knew what the benchmark was in scooters (8years ago.. it was the activa.) and they released the access 125.
                          So, all is fair in business !
                          And honestly speaking, 99% of the buyers do not care where what makes power or for that matter if its a 125 or a 110.. Many are driven by the looks, ease of availability, brand name and their budget. [MENTION=36366]SparKot[/MENTION] -- we do not need to mince the numbers..whether honda sells activa 110 or 125, they still make money and probably similar profit margins on either.

                          I have nothing against any brand, i was just honestly trying to figure out what xtp was all about ! Talk to suzuki, lol maybe I will.. lets see.

                            Apparently Activa125 sold more than Access125 & Swish125 combined in July 2014.

                              On the phone with them let me know who wants to listen to their 'Xplanation'

                              Ok, according to the guy from the service training department who called me.. he says they cannot explain xtp properly on automatic transmission (he means scooters).. he asked me to ride a slingshot to feel the 'xtp', and according to him XTP is the ability to drive at 25kmph in 4th gear. To which i replied even a Honda shine can do that, and asked him to please explain how 'xtp' is implemented by giving him example of honda's het/offset crank etc.. He still kept beating around the bush and said they (also?) use offset crank, and said even Honda does not explain het to which i told how much Honda explains while there is no such technical mention by Suzuki, so i threw in a comment asking 'is it confidential' and he 'nodded' .. i decided to politely end the conversation.
