Suzuki Swish 125 Launched
Posted on 
Priced at Rs 45,431, the sporty Swish will continue to sell alongside its 125cc sibling, the Access
A month after the Suzuki Swish 125 was unveiled at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo, the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer has launched the gearless scooter at Rs. 45,431 ex-showroom, Delhi. The Swish 125 carries the same design language as the Suzuki Access 125 but looks better and exudes a more premium feel.
Powered by the same 125 cc, air-cooled, single cylinder, 4-stroke petrol engine as on the Access, the Swish 125 has a maximum power of 8.7 PS @ 7,000 rpm and 9.8 Nm @ 5,000 Nm of torque – decent enough for the urban two-wheeler commuter. The scooter also features CVT, telescopic front shock-absorber with drum brakes in both wheels. The fuel tank and under-seat storage capacity of 6 litres and 20 litres, respectively, is the same as the Access 125’s. The Swish 125 also sports an attractive instrument panel, an aluminium grab rail for the rear passenger and a better looking muffler cover.
The scooter is targeted at those looking for a handsome vehicle that offers a little more attention-to-detail in terms of design. At Rs 4,000, it’s also priced a notch higher than the Access 125, which will continue to be sold alongside the new model that is being pitched as a slightly more premium option by the manufacturer.
In terms of competition, the Suzuki Swish 125 will lock horns with the Mahindra Rodeo and Duro apart from its own Access. So far, Suzuki Motorcycles have maintained a very conservative approach in terms of its offerings in the Indian two-wheeler commuter market, preferring to take one step at a time. With the Swish 125, Suzuki hopes to attract young urban buyers who want a bit of style and power from their scooters.

why are the two wheeler manufacturers not launching a scooter with gears? there is no decent scooter with gears in India as on date. with sky high petrol prices even a pint of extra mileage would have been hugely appreciated in Indian markets and geared scooters will always give higher mileage returns compared to automatic transmissions ones.

Currently, we need alternate fuel two-wheelers as cost of petrol is always going to be on the higher side. Alternate fuel means anything other than battery operated.

The basic requirement for commuter is mileage and option of dual fuel facility. Since the petrol prices are going to be always on higher side, alternate fuel vehicles other than those that run on battery are required badly. Not this type of petrol vehicles.
