2026 Suzuki Burgman Street EX Launched at Rs 1.08 Lakh: New Colours, Specs & Performance Reviewed

The King of Maxi-Scooters Returns: 2026 Suzuki Burgman Street EX

Suzuki Motorcycle India has officially pulled the wraps off the 2026 Suzuki Burgman Street EX, further solidifying its dominance in the premium 125cc scooter segment. Priced competitively starting at Rs 1.08 Lakh (ex-showroom), the 2026 iteration brings a fresh aesthetic via a new colour palette while retaining the mechanical prowess that has made it a favorite among urban commuters. In a market increasingly crowded with sporty scooters, the Burgman Street EX stands out by prioritizing ‘Executive’ comfort and sophisticated styling.

Refined Design and The New Metallic Palette

The standout update for the 2026 model year is the introduction of the new Metallic Matte Black No. 2 colorway, which gives the scooter a stealthy, premium look that complements its maxi-scooter silhouette. The design remains iconic with its wide front apron, integrated LED headlights, and a tall windscreen that offers genuine wind protection during city sprints. The ‘EX’ suffix continues to denote the top-tier variant, featuring the signature 12-inch rear wheel that gives it a more balanced and ‘big-bike’ stance compared to the standard 10-inch rear wheel variants found on competitors.

Performance: Suzuki Eco Performance Alpha (SEP-α)

Under the skin, the 2026 Burgman Street EX is powered by the proven 124cc, 4-stroke, single-cylinder air-cooled engine. However, the EX variant utilizes the Suzuki Eco Performance Alpha (SEP-α) technology. This system includes an Engine Auto Stop-Start (EASS) feature and a Silent Starter System. This setup not only reduces fuel consumption during idling at traffic lights but also ensures a whisper-quiet ignition experience. The engine produces a smooth 8.6 PS of power and 10 Nm of torque, optimized for linear delivery rather than aggressive bursts.

Interior, Tech, and Utility

The cockpit of the 2026 Burgman Street EX remains a tech-forward space. The fully digital instrument cluster is equipped with Suzuki Ride Connect, allowing riders to pair their smartphones via Bluetooth for turn-by-turn navigation, incoming call/SMS alerts, and WhatsApp notifications. Utility is where the Burgman shines; it features a massive 21.5-liter under-seat storage compartment, a front glovebox with a built-in USB charging port, and the unique ‘flexible footboard’ that allows riders to stretch their legs out—a true maxi-scooter hallmark.

Safety and Ride Quality

Safety is handled by a front disc brake and a rear drum brake setup, supported by Suzuki’s Combined Braking System (CBS). While it doesn’t feature ABS (which is not mandatory in the 125cc segment), the CBS ensures stable braking by distributing force to both wheels. The 12-inch rear wheel, wrapped in a 100/80 tubeless tire, significantly improves high-speed stability and cornering confidence compared to smaller-wheeled rivals.
