Suzuki Motorcycle India has just made a big move in the Indian scooter market. The company has launched the Suzuki Access 125 with Single-Channel ABS. This is a major update because, until now, most 125cc scooters in India only came with a Combined Braking System (CBS).
This launch makes the Suzuki Access 125 the first popular family scooter in the 125cc segment to offer ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). If you are planning to buy a new scooter in 2026, this safety feature is something you should definitely look at.
Here is everything you need to know about the new Suzuki Access ABS model, including its price, variants, and why this update matters for Indian riders.
What is New in the Suzuki Access 125 ABS?
The biggest change is the addition of Single-Channel ABS. Earlier, ABS was mostly found on bigger 150cc or 160cc scooters like the Yamaha Aerox or Aprilia SR 160.
Why is ABS important? In simple words, ABS prevents your wheels from locking up when you apply sudden brakes.
- On slippery roads: If it rains or there is sand on the road, normal brakes can make the scooter skid. ABS helps you stop safely without slipping.
- Panic braking: In Indian traffic, if a car stops suddenly in front of you, ABS helps you brake hard without losing control.
This feature is available on the front disc brake of the scooter.
Suzuki Access 125 ABS Price in India (2026)
Suzuki has introduced the ABS feature in two top variants. The prices have gone up slightly because of the new technology.
Ex-Showroom Prices (Delhi):
- Access Ride Connect ABS Edition: ₹92,328
- Access Ride Connect TFT ABS Edition: ₹98,378
Compared to the non-ABS versions, you are paying a small premium (around ₹3,000 to ₹4,000 extra) for the added safety. For many riders, this extra cost is worth it for the protection it offers on the road.
Key Features and Specifications
Apart from the ABS, the scooter retains most of its loved features.
- Engine: It runs on the same trusted 124cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine.
- Power: It delivers 8.7 PS of power and 10 Nm of torque.
- Mileage: The company claims the mileage remains the same, offering a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency.
- Tech: The “Ride Connect” feature allows you to connect your smartphone via Bluetooth. You can see SMS alerts, WhatsApp notifications, and Turn-by-Turn navigation on the screen.
- TFT Screen: The top model comes with a color TFT display which looks very premium.
- No Kick Start: An important note is that the new ABS variants do not have a kick starter. They only come with an electric self-start button.
Colour Options
The new Suzuki Access ABS is available in stylish colours to attract young and family buyers:
- Metallic Mat Black No. 2
- Metallic Mat Stellar Blue
- Pearl Grace White
- Solid Ice Green
- Pearl Shiny Beige (Standard ABS model)
- Pearl Mat Aqua Silver (Exclusive to TFT ABS model)
Why This Matters for Indian Buyers
For a long time, Indian rules only forced companies to put ABS on two-wheelers above 125cc. For 125cc scooters, only CBS was required. Suzuki has taken a step ahead of the government rules by offering this safety feature voluntarily.
This puts pressure on competitors like the Honda Activa 125, TVS Jupiter 125, and Yamaha Fascino. Currently, these rivals do not offer ABS in their 125cc family scooters. If safety is your top priority, the Access 125 is now the clear winner in this segment.
FAQs: Suzuki Access 125 ABS
1. Is ABS available in all Suzuki Access models?
No, ABS is only available in the top two variants: the Ride Connect Edition and the Ride Connect TFT Edition. The lower variants still come with CBS (Combined Braking System).
2. Can I install ABS on my old Suzuki Access?
No, you cannot install ABS on an older model. It requires factory-fitted sensors and a specific braking unit that cannot be added later.
3. Does the ABS version have a kick start?
No, the new Suzuki Access ABS variants do not have a kick start. They only have a self-start button.
4. Is the mileage of the ABS model different?
No, the engine and weight are almost the same, so the mileage remains similar to the standard model (approx. 45–50 kmpl in real-world conditions).
5. Which is better, ABS or CBS?
ABS is much better. CBS only distributes brake force between front and rear wheels. ABS actually prevents the wheel from locking and skidding, which is much safer on wet or sandy roads.
