Suzuki Access Vs Mahindra Rodeo
Posted on April 7th 2010If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Well certainly not raising an issue of feminism here but yes the Rodeo is packed with all those goodies just like a feminine beauty. On the other hand the Suzuki Access is lot more professional. The scooter has serious looks and it means business all the time. Even if you are in happy mood the bike will make you serious.

The Suzuki Access is bit of a comfortable bike which can be used for long rides. It reaches a top whack of 90kmph speed easily. The reason being it has a light body which works perfect when it comes to speed. On the other hand the Rodeo reaches a top whack of same speed in less time. Since most of the body panels are made from fiber its light. This has also helped to increase the overall mileage on the scooter. If a drag is conducted in both the scooters the winner would obviously be the Rodeo, but if a race is conducted the winner would be the Access. The twitch here is that the Rodeo is light weighted so its fast on straights, the Access is heavy but easy on turns. Aerodynamics plays an important role in handling of the scooter. The Access might be slow but its sturdier than the Rodeo.
Balancing act
Aerodynamics can now be explained precisely here in the balancing act point. The Access is heavy but has good control while taking turns. The seating position is very comfortable and easy. All the functions are clearly visible to the rider and details about speed and petrol are easily visible. This is the plus point of the Access. On the other hand the Rodeo is not that comfortable when it comes to long rides. Its just doesn’t match that way where you might just stretch out your legs and zip out in heavy traffic. The Rodeo is for those who are mostly into college activities and have an entire life ahead. The Access on the other hand is for those who are into a profession and have a living. It offers great comfort and style too.
Mileage
Well both the scooters are same when it comes to performing economy wise. The Rodeo delivers outstandingly 40kmph average. Well that’s possible if you ride the bike at constant 40kmph speed. The Access does the same when it comes to economy. It delivers 40kmph under strict riding conditions. Maintenance on both the bikes is less and affordable. You need not shell thousands of cash every month to keep them shining in your parking lot.
Time to go to the ATM
This is a tough one to describe as both the bikes are best in their own body. But if a choice has to be made it would definitely be the Suzuki Access. Reliability with Suzuki is more than the Mahindra. They are new in this segment which makes them bit behind the present manufacturers. You might need to spend a bit on servicing but its worth the money spent as long term profits are attached with the Access.

I have compared the 3 leading brands with Telescopic Suspension on the front and found SUZUKI ACCESS 125 and MAHINDRA RODEO are the best.However I give 1 mark more to Access considering the experience of Suzuki. But one should consider the cost of spare parts and after sales service near to the reach.

Both are same in price, speed, milage and comfort. But smoothness differs rodeo, not only from access but from any others of this type.
I dont think access is better than rodeo.

I have had the rodeo for more than a year….few facts here are true…but my rodeo clocked in a 105kmph effortlessly…the top speed the bike touches is around 110kmph!!! Mileage is awesome!!! Ground clearance is a bit poor…front suspensions are great!!! Also a great bike to pop wheelie!!!
I am apparently the only guy in Bangalore to pop wheelie on a rodeo!!!

i m using mahindra rodeo..it has good pickup,good looks..but major prob in tht mileage is very low…after 6th servicing also it gives me 10kmph avg n after complaining to custmor care…no one is borther to sort out this prob. finally i decided to sold this vehicle but resale value for this rodeo is very less..i have totally loss with this rodeo. In future i never suggest to anyone mahindra scooty..tomorrow i m going to purchase acess 125.coz it has really good avg n good resale value in market.

hey i have gone through a wide study about scooters and have tested all of them myself and i have found that Mahindra RODIO is the best. the kind of features available in Rodeo is unmatched by any scooter in India. One of the best feature is the front fueling in rodeo.
So don’t just sit there guys and girls go and have a ride of Rodeo and u will realize that it is undoubtedly better then any other scooter in the segment.

Please don’t go for Rodeo because its ground clearance is very low.
