Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL) showcased an extensive portfolio of multi-pathway mobility solutions at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, centred on the theme 'Spectrum of Mobility'.

The highlight was the unveiling of Suzuki’s first electric scooter, the e-ACCESS, a bold step toward electric mobility. The company also introduced the all-new Access 125, offering a blend of urban elegance, superior engine performance and modern features for an enhanced commuting experience. Further broadening its portfolio, Suzuki launched its inaugural E85-compliant motorcycle, the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel, aimed at propelling India towards a carbon-neutral future.

Talking about the new products unveiled, Suzuki Motorcycle India Managing Director Kenichi Umeda, said, “Spectrum of Mobility - the theme for this year’s Bharat Mobility Global Expo, resonates with Suzuki’s commitment to carbon neutrality and its multi-pathway approach to realizing this goal. At Suzuki Motorcycle India, this vision comes to life through the introduction of our new products: e-ACCESS, our first electric scooter, the ethanol-compatible GIXXER SF 250 Flex Fuel and the new Access with improved fuel economy. Serving our customers with the highest level of satisfaction and hospitality remains our top priority”.

Speaking at the event Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, President Toshihiro Suzuki said, “At Suzuki Motor Corporation, we are committed to our goal of carbon neutrality through a multi-pathway approach. While battery electric vehicles play an important role, they are not the only way to the carbon neutrality. We are also focusing on alternative options such as E-Fuels, Hydrogen Engines, Bio-Fuel models, and better fuel economy in internal combustion engines. The Indian market is largest for Suzuki, and we are committed to the market. 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.

The company initiated the national market rollout from Kerala, coinciding with the Onam festival period, alongside the establishment of 20 customer touchpoints across the state.

The Yellow Falcon Adventure introduces cross-spoke wheels compatible with tubeless tyres, an addition requested by owners. The variant features a yellow and grey scheme with decals, paired with the 334-cc liquid-cooled Alpha2 engine producing 29.6 PS power and 29.9 Nm torque. Standard features include traction control and three ABS operating modes for road, rain and off-road conditions. The tubeless cross-spoke wheel option will be available across the wider Yezdi Adventure line-up. Prices start at INR 212,969 ex-showroom New Delhi for the base Yellow Falcon, rising to INR 232,969 for the tubeless wheel variant.

The Green Mamba Roadster incorporates a matte green paint finish, a brown seat and copper decals. It uses the 334-cc liquid-cooled Alpha2 engine linked to a six-speed transmission with an assist-and-slipper clutch. The variant is priced at INR 205,969 ex-showroom New Delhi.

Boman Rustom Irani, Co-Founder, Classic Legends, said, "Yezdi has always been a brand built as much by its riders as by us. Riders have passed Yezdis down generations, restored them, and built communities around them. The 2026 line-up brings that spirit to life with three purpose-built motorcycles."

Anupam Thareja, Co-Founder, Classic Legends, said, "As Onam marks the start of India's festive season, there could be no better place or time to reaffirm our commitment to Kerala and its riders. Kerala has always been close to my heart as a rider, and it has made Yezdi its own from its past glory to the new launch. We are proud to unveil the 2026 range for India, from Kerala, as we continue bringing the brand closer to riders across the country. I am sure we will be the number one motorcycle brand in our segment in this riding paradise. As a two-wheeler brand, probably we are the first ones to do a national launch in Kerala."

The company has opened bookings across India for the 2026 product range. The network addition in Kerala forms part of a broader expansion plan targeting 500 touchpoints nationwide within the current financial year and 700 touchpoints by FY28. All models remain covered by the company's standard warranty program, which provides four-year or 50,000-kilometre coverage extendable to six years, alongside roadside assistance and maintenance contract options.
