Mahindra Rodeo vs Suzuki Access

Mahindra 2 wheelers has launched the Rodeo in the 125 scooter segment that has been largely dominated by the Suzuki Access. The Access looks dated while the Rodeo looks more current. Plastics on the Access are better finished while the Rodeo lacks a bit in this aspect. The Access is better built than the Rodeo. Conventionality rules supreme when it comes the Access's instrument cluster while the Rodeo gets a new-age all-digital console that includes a nifty tachometer in addition to the speedo, in addition to other things. Although the motor powering the Rodeo is no puny wimp, the engine grunt of the Access is still the best in the 125cc scooter segment, but now, not by much with the Mahindra coming a very, very close second. The Access has that big scooter feel that the Rodeo does not. Gizmos and features of convenience like a mobile charger and the front fuel filler cap respectively are in plenty on the Rodeo while the Access has none of that. Underseat storage space is abundant in both scooters. Handling of the Access feels more planted while the Rodeo, benefitting from being 3 kg lighter at 106 kg, is feels more agile when throwing it about.

I brought Mahindra Duro in Mar2010, Still I'm feeling very dis-comfort while riding (got back-ache) and having less ground clearance, it touches all the road humps. This scooter doesn't have any re-sale value, If I want to sell this scooter. pls don't go for this Duro.Better you go for aceess or activa.

Acess 125 is very good pickup but it's breaking system & for servicing provided by dealer isn't good.

The Activa is just over rated,because of the only reason that it has been around since a very long time,my friend bought an just recently and i felt that it lacks pickup and it is even worse if you have a pillion rider along,it aslo feels really bad on the bumps and bad roads because of the same age old shock absorbers and it is highly priced, The Mahindra Rodeo has a Very good pickup,good styling and Great technology involved,like the digital console and all the good stuff that it offers but to me it looks like a scooter that a 16 year teenage girl would ride,looks very funny on a boy or a man and even funnier on two.The Suzuki access is one bike where i have rarely heard anything against it,Rides smoothly if ridden slowly,shoots like a rocket where needed,and handling is excellent,i dont feel any jerks or bumps even when two people (one being 105kgs and me 75kgs) Ride itthanks to the Telescopic, Coil Spring, Oil Damped suspension it has,I think one should definately think over the ac

I purchased Access in March 2010. Find it well built, adequate torque, great power, greatly balanced while cornering even at good speed and lot of space. I will recommend Access 125 amongst the lot.

Access is much better in terms of driving comfort. Rodeo is still like a motorized cycle except for the nicely built-up plastic body..

Nothing can bet the awesome torque that Access has, but Rodeo\'s instrument is pretty! I stick to Access.
