Suzuki Access 125:While official information for the 2024 Suzuki Access 125 in Dubai isn’t available yet (as of June 6, 2024), based on its presence in other markets like India, we can make some educated guesses about its potential arrival in the UAE.
Price Expectation:
There’s no confirmed price for the Dubai market, but referring to the Indian price tag (around ₹72,000 which is roughly AED 3,200), we can expect the 2024 Access 125 to be priced competitively in the UAE, likely falling between AED 3,500 to AED 4,500. This is because the UAE motorbike market offers a variety of options, and Suzuki needs to be strategically priced.
Possible Specifications:
The 2024 Access 125 in Dubai might retain most of the specifications from the Indian version, with some minor tweaks to suit local regulations or preferences. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
- Engine: A fuel-injected, air-cooled 125cc engine is likely, delivering around 8.7 BHP of power and 9 Nm of torque. This provides good fuel efficiency and a balance between performance and mileage.
- Transmission: Expect a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) for a smooth and user-friendly riding experience, especially in stop-and-go traffic common in Dubai.
- Brakes: Both drum brakes or a combination of disc and drum brakes might be offered. Disc brakes on the front wheel would provide better stopping power, especially in hot and dusty conditions.
- Suspension: Telescopic front forks and a swingarm with a single shock absorber at the rear are likely for a comfortable ride on city roads.
- Wheels and Tyres: Expect 10-inch or 12-inch wheels with tubeless tyres, offering a good balance of handling and comfort.
- Features: A digital instrument cluster displaying essential information like speed, fuel level, and trip meter is a strong possibility. A front storage compartment and a comfortable seat are likely for added convenience. Safety features like a headlight on/off sensor and CBS (Combi Brake System) might be offered depending on regulations.
Availability and Competition:
The exact launch date and dealerships offering the 2024 Access 125 in Dubai are unknown. However, you can expect major Suzuki showrooms in the city to carry it once it’s officially launched.
The Access 125 will face competition from established players like Yamaha (FZ-S FI), Honda (Activa 125), and TVS (Jupiter 125) in the UAE’s 125cc scooter segment. Each offers its own strengths, so researching and comparing features is crucial before making a decision.
