Bajaj CT 125 : Once off, the Bajaj CT 125 could easily become the king of commuters in two-wheeler-dom where buyers mostly look for the best compromise between price, durability and comfort.
Meant for the value conscious consumer who travels distance, this commuter’s payload is good mileage, no-nonsense looks and a sturdy engine which make it a good bet for universally both urban city commutes and rural transport.
Bajaj is known for producing bikes that are robust and durable, and the CT series is no exception.
With the CT 125, the company adds more power to its utilitarian formula, while maintaining the same ruggedness, efficiency and frugal nature for which the lineup is known.
Sober Clean Functional Design
The Aim Is Not Flashy The Bajaj CT 125 is not trying to be a serious style concept — and that’s the whole point.
The styling is spare, clean, and function-driven, and should attract those looking for more steak, less sizzle.
The body language overall is very apt, satin finish alloy wheels, big comfortable seat, a simplistic headlamp unit and clear lens indicators.
The black and grey engine finishing, with hints of grahics, provide the bike a neat appearance.
The semi-digital instrument cluster, tank pads and saree guard add to utility while maintaining simplicity in design.
Bajaj hasn’t gone to town and that’s what makes the CT 125 just right for professionals, delivery boys or rural customers who need an honest, hardworking motorcycle.
Engine and Performance
The Bajaj CT 125 gets a 124.4cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that is designed for strong mileage and low-maintenance.
It is capable of developing approximately 10.9 bhp and 11 Nm of torque and comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. That’s plenty of power for city traffic, light hauling and short interstate hops.
The refinement of the engine is well complemented for city stop and go, village roads, light gradient climbs.
It doesn’t shudder much at 50–60 km/h either and feels as steady as Bajaj’s same old, but proven technology. It’s got short, city drivable gear ratios, so you’re not always having to shift in traffic.
Mileage That Wins Hearts
One of the CT 125’s most appreciated attribute is its great mileage of approximately 68 kmpl under healthy riding conditions.
This makes it one of the most fuel efficient 125cc bikes in India. No matter if you’re a student busing back and forth to a college campus, a delivery rider making long runs or a farmer nipping between towns, this kind of fuel economy adds up over time.
Your fueling is never going to stop thanks to the huge 10.5 litre fuel tank and even the not so distant pit-stops on long rides will be spared with the great fuel range in the bike.
Ride Quality and Handling

With telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers, the suspension smoothes out potholes and bumpy roads easily.
The light kerb weight of the bike (about 122 kg) translates into easy manoeuvrability in traffic, easy parking in crammed spaces in urban areas or glide through narrow village alleys when one is passing through.
Braking duty is taken care of by drum brakes at either end, with an optional front disc, along with CBS (Combined Braking System) for enhanced braking performance and safety.(Bajaj CT 125)
.. Tyres provide decent grip, the spoked wheel variant (if it gets launched) would give the traditionalist buyer something to look forward to as well as the durability of spoke’s against alloys.
