Bajaj Auto invited us to review their latest 125-cc commuter which also happens to be one of the most affordable motorcycles available in the market

Rugged and Affordable

THE FIRST-EVER CT 100 WAS A model launched by Bajaj in 2004 to replace the Boxer. It has been one of those models that have stayed in their line-up for the longest period of time and they have now decided to expand the CT range with the introduction of this new CT 125X.

The design of this motorcycle is identical to that of the CT 110X which appears to be a mix between a moped and a commuter bike and it will be appreciated by the ordinary rider who requires a rugged daily commuter.

The bike sports a round halogen headlight at the front with a LED strip right on top of it. Sitting behind it is a 11-litre fuel-tank and a single-piece flat seat. The bike rides on 17-inch wheels and the rugged elements come in the form of large crash guards and a metal belly pan. Keeping the cost in check, the mud-guards at the front and the rear are plastic units. Overall, the quality is decent and much like something you would expect on a product that has been built to a cost. The bike makes use of an analogue speedometer with very basic information and also gets a USB charger.
