      by

      Suzuki Access 125 FaceliftAll the new updates to Suzuki Access 125 facelift, will better position it against Honda Activa 125, TVS Jupiter 125 and Hero Destini 125One of the leading 2W manufacturers in India, Suzuki, has been riding on the wave of success generated by Access 125. This is a no-nonsense family scooter that often features in India’s top ten scooter list at 3rd position. We should soon see a facelifted version of this scooter as suggested by the recent spy shots.2025 Suzuki Access 125 Facelift – What’s hot?For starters, we can see a lot of design changes in the new facelift. The headlight cowl is now a little beefier and the front apron protrudes quite a bit forward, lending a more substantial feel to fascia. Front mudguard and its alloy wheels, front disc brakes and suspension setup look like they are identical to the current model.Suzuki Access 125 Facelift vs Current ModelWe can also see a front storage area that should prove handy in day-to-day usage. There’s a circular reflector attached at the side of this storage unit, which we often see on front forks. Or in the current Access 125’ case, on rear plastic mudguard. Speaking of, Suzuki has changed rear mudguard and we can see a new design for the exhaust heat shield.We can see more of the engine with newer Suzuki Access 125 and that is because of sleeker side body panels. Seat is a lot flatter than the current model and might be slightly more convenient where seat height for pillions is concerned.Suzuki Access 125 Facelift HeadlightWe can expect a bump in features to keep the product competitive. In that regard, Suzuki is offering hazard light feature that we can see in the video below. LED tail lights, LED headlights, a fully digital instrument cluster with navigation feature and smartphone connectivity with a proprietary app are some of the probable features of Suzuki Access 125 facelift.Features like a smart key would prove beneficial for Access 125 as its arch-rival, Honda Activa, offers it. Practicality seems to be similar to current model owing to a flat floorboard and we can expect a sizeable under-seat storage too.Access 125 Facelift Hazard Light2025 Suzuki Access 125 Facelift Spotted For The First TimeThe company intends to expand its sales horizon by launching a facelifted version of its best-seller. That’s where the new 2025 Suzuki Access 125 facelift spotted for the first time, comes into play. Looking at the test mules completely draped in camouflage, a full-fledged launch could be later than sooner.[embedded content]Where powertrain is concerned, we can expect the same 124cc single-cylinder air-cooled motor that is capable of generating 8.6 bhp and 10 Nm, mated to a CVT gearbox. When launched, Suzuki will implement a minor price hike too. Access 125 facelift will rival the likes of Honda Activa 125, Hero Destini, and Jupiter 125.Source More

      Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Launch Soon – New Spy Shots Reveal Details

      by

      Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Spied – Highest Mileage?While Bajaj’s CNG Motorcycle will be the first of its kind in India, it will challenge popular ICE commuter bikes such as Splendor Plus and Honda Shine 100CNG has been used in cars in India since 2010, but it has limited applications in the two-wheeler segment. It’s true that RTO-approved CNG conversion kits were available for select scooters. But a factory-produced CNG two-wheeler has never materialized. The status quo is set to change, as Bajaj is planning to launch India’s first ever CNG Motorcycle later this year.Bajaj CNG Motorcycle – What to expect?High fuel efficiency – In the entry-level commuter segment, Bajaj currently offers the Platina and CT motorcycles. Among these, the most fuel efficient is the Platina 100 Motorcycle. Its ARAI certified range is 70 kmpl. The upcoming CNG bike is expected to have a higher mileage. It can emerge as the most fuel efficient in its class. Mileage is an important factor for users looking for a commuter bike. A best-in-class mileage will be a major USP for Bajaj’s upcoming CNG motorcycle.Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Spied – Highest Mileage?Borrow an existing engine – Bajaj’s upcoming CNG motorcycle could use the existing 110cc engine, as seen with Platina 110cc and CT110X. When running on petrol, this engine churns out 8.6 PS of max power and 9.81 Nm of max torque. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox.Bajaj CNG Motorcycle could also get the 125cc engine in use with CT125X. As CNG is less power dense in comparison to petrol, a larger displacement will be needed to achieve the performance of a 100cc or 110cc petrol bike. Of course, the engine will be tweaked to support the greener fuel.Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Spied – Highest Mileage?Bi-fuel setup – Bajaj’s upcoming CNG bike is expected to have a bi-fuel setup. A dedicated switch could be there, allowing users to shift from CNG to petrol and vice-versa. The CNG tank will be located below the seat, whereas the petrol tank will be in its usual position.Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Spied – Highest Mileage?Bajaj CNG Motorcycle – Specs, featuresUpcoming Bajaj CNG bike is expected to get 17-inch wheels at both ends, shod with 80/100 tubeless tyres. A front disc and rear drum combo are on offer. Suspension setup comprises telescopic forks at front and a monoshock unit at rear.Both ABS and non-ABS variants could be offered. The CNG Motorcycle is expected to get a semi-digital instrument console with info such as gear indicator, gear guidance and ABS indicator. LED headlight can be seen in spy shots.Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Spied – Highest Mileage?Bajaj CNG bike – PricingWhile Bajaj CNG Motorcycle will have lower operational costs, it will be priced higher than the Platina 110cc bike. Bajaj could launch the CNG bike at a starting price of Rs 80,000. People looking at long-term benefits won’t mind the slightly higher pricing.Launch is likely to take place by June 2024. Along with the domestic market, Bajaj’s new CNG Motorcycle will also be sold across multiple global markets. Depending on its success, other two-wheeler manufacturers can also consider launching their respective CNG models. More
