Suzuki Access 125 Ride Connect TFT Edition Review : Be prepared for a scooter that not just moves you but also brings you together with smart connectivity! The new Suzuki Access Ride Connect TFT Edition is an upgradation of the popular Access range. Having added modern technology to the age-old comforts of Access, this makes one feel quite stylish and tech-savvy on a ride in the city.
The instrument cluster now comes with a clear new 4.2-inch full-colour TFT, Bluetooth-compatible, enabled via Suzuki’s Ride Connect platform. Not just beautiful—but the display has better brightness, contrast, and refresh rates, guaranteeing clear visibility even while riding under scorching sunlight or at night. Through the Ride Connect app, you can receive SMS/call alerts, over-speed warnings, ETA updates, and even check your phone’s battery without glancing away from the road.
There is a fresh, new Pearl Mat Aqua Silver tint to spice it all up-the matte texture of this shade presents the scooter with an urban appeal that really stands out in the traffic. Of course, you will still find all the other shades from the classic Suzuki palette: Metallic Mat Black No. 2, Metallic Mat Stellar Blue, Pearl Grace White, and Solid Ice Green.
In other words, the scooter is as traditional as it comes mechanically. The renowned air-cooled 124 cc engine boasts an output near 8.3 bhp power and a torque of 10.2 Nm, and it has recently been made OBD2 compliant. The stimuli, in terms of comfort, fuel efficiency, and smooth ride quality, remain constant-things unchanged that the longstanding Access riders would not take time remembering.
Practicality keeps winning-external fuel-filler cap and under-seat storage-all very light for ease in daily chores and city commutes.
The only downer could be the price, which makes the TFT Edition cost about ₹6,800–7,000 more than the standard variant. Since all the core mechanicals and performance remain the same, some bikers would be questioning the need to pay this additional amount just for the improved display and connectivity.
The Access Ride Connect TFT Edition is a new appealing model for those looking for that scooter they know but with a new age and upgraded straight-from-the-dealership feel. However, standard LCD versions still offer great value for the rider wanting functionality above aesthetics on an economically struggling budget.
