By staying true to our mission of creating products of superior value and focusing on customer satisfaction, we aim to grow further in the motorcycle business and contribute meaningfully to customers’ needs.”

The e-Access

The e-Access represents Suzuki’s commitment to quality and innovation, delivering on key promises of style, performance, reliability, practicality and connectivity. Powered by a rigorously tested 3.07 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, the e-Access ensures enhanced safety, long battery life, and durability. Its fixed battery pack, securely housed within the frame, provides additional protection.

Charging options cater to both home and portable use, with a full charge achievable in 6 hours and 42 minutes using a portable charger or 2 hours and 12 minutes with a fast charger. Suzuki’s proprietary E-technology powers the EV drivetrain, enabling a maximum speed of 71 km/h, peak power output of 4.1 kW, and torque of 15 Nm. The scooter offers a range of 95 km per charge, with energy consumption rated at 39Wh/km.

Advanced features include three drive modes—Eco, Ride A, and Ride B—plus a reverse mode for convenience. Safety is prioritised with systems like side-stand interlock and tip-over detection. The keyless system enables remote locking and unlocking, while a multi-function starter switch integrates controls for seat opening, steering lock, and charging inlet. Both centre and side stands further enhance practicality.

A vibrant TFT LCD screen and smartphone integration via the Suzuki Ride Connect-E app offer real-time navigation and traffic updates. Premium design details include raised nameplates and a metallic-finish chrome "S" emblem. The e-Access will debut in three dual-tone colour schemes: Metallic Mat Black No. 2/Metallic Mat Bordeaux Red, Pearl Grace White/Metallic Mat Fibroin Grey, and Pearl Jade Green/Metallic Mat Fibroin Grey. Pricing will be revealed closer to launch.

All-New Access 125: Urban Mobility Refined

The all-new Access 125 is engineered for improved acceleration, superior fuel economy, and enhanced comfort.

This engine delivers 6.2 kW at 6,500 rpm and torque of 10.2 Nm at 5,000 rpm, ensuring smooth performance in city traffic.

The scooter’s design enhancements include an LED position light, LED tail lamp, and a front lock-operated external fuel lid. Practicality is increased with dual front pockets, expanded under-seat storage, and a larger fuel tank. Rider comfort is prioritised with an improved rear suspension layout, ergonomic seating, and aluminium footrests. Safety features include a passing switch, hazard switch, and brake lock on the rear left lever.

The Bluetooth-enabled multi-function digital instrument cluster now offers new features such as calendar and rain alerts, ambient weather updates, periodic service notifications, a digital wallet, and renewal reminders, all accessible via the Suzuki Ride Connect app.

The Access 125 is available in three variants—Standard, Special, and Ride Connect Edition—across five colours: Solid Ice Green, Pearl Shiny Beige, Metallic Mat Stellar Blue, Pearl Grace White, and Metallic Mat Black No. 2. Pricing begins at INR 81,700 (ex-showroom Delhi).

Equipped with a high-performance, BS-VI compliant 250cc engine, the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel operates on ethanol-blended fuels with concentrations of up to 85 percent (E85). This innovation not only reduces CO2 emissions but also aligns with global carbon-neutrality goals.

The single-cylinder engine, powered by Suzuki’s Oil Cooling System (SOCS) and Eco Performance (SEP) technology, offers a robust output of 20.5 kW (27.9 PS) at 9,300 rpm on E85 fuel and 20 kW (27.2 PS) at 9,300 rpm on E20 fuel. Torque is rated at 22.5 Nm at 7,300 rpm, ensuring powerful yet efficient performance. Compact in design, the engine prioritises low fuel consumption, high durability, and ease of maintenance.

To support ethanol-based fuels, the motorcycle incorporates upgraded components such as a modified injector, fuel pump, and fuel filter, making it fully compatible with E85 fuel.

The Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel boasts a European-inspired aerodynamic design featuring a wide LED headlamp, Gixxer-styled LED tail lamp, and a sporty dual muffler. Its premium aesthetic is enhanced by a split-seat design, dual-channel ABS, a side-stand interlock switch, and Suzuki’s Easy Start System.

The initiative aims to enhance customer service across the country and acknowledge the vital role played by on-ground personnel.

The 2024-25 Grand Prix featured five categories: Technician, Service Advisor, the new Tele-Caller segment, Parts Manager and Sales Consultant. The competition unfolded in three stages, beginning with regional contests from 15 August to 30 September 2024, which saw a record 7,567 participants. Top performers from online examinations then advanced to zonal rounds held between 17 February and 18 March 2025.

The national finals took place on 24th and 25th June 2025 at Yamaha’s Surajpur facility in Greater Noida, where 40 finalists vied for top honours. The top three in each category were felicitated by senior management. Notably, the winning technician will represent India at the World Technician Grand Prix 2025 in Japan this November.

Judging criteria varied by category, assessing technicians on troubleshooting and maintenance, service advisors on customer handling and timely vehicle delivery and tele-callers on communication skills. Sales consultants were evaluated on their ability to provide a premium customer experience, while parts managers were judged on efficient stock management and customer service.

Ravinder Singh, Senior Vice-President at Yamaha Motor India Sales, said, "The Yamaha National 3S Grand Prix reflects our deep commitment to nurturing frontline talent and recognizing the critical role they play in delivering an exceptional experience for our customers.

We congratulate all the finalists and look forward to seeing the national winners representing India at the global stage in Japan.”

The National Technician Grand Prix (NTGP), which first launched in India in 2010 with 350 participants, has seen exponential growth. The 2023 edition engaged over 6,000 contestants, with the introduction of the Tele-Caller category in 2024-25 pushing overall participation to an all-time high of 7,567. Beyond the competitive aspect, the Grand Prix underscores Yamaha's commitment to ensuring staff are well-equipped to provide exceptional customer care, a core focus for the company. This commitment is further supported by the Yamaha Motor Academy (YMA), a global training initiative that develops 3S dealership staff into 'professional teams' to ensure premium customer service at all touchpoints.
