Bajaj CT 125X

The Bajaj CT 125X was powered by a 124.4cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 10.7 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 11 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox and a standard wet multiplate clutch. The Bajaj CT 125X on-road price reflected this capable engine, offering a noticeable improvement in pulling power over most 100cc commuters in the same price bracket.

The top speed reached approximately 95 kmph, with the engine tuned to deliver usable low and mid-range performance rather than aggressive acceleration, letting the bike respond smoothly in city traffic while still handling rural routes and rough roads with confidence.

The CT 125X mileage benefited from this efficient engine tune, with owners consistently praising fuel economy as one of the CT 125X's clearest strengths, though some reviews noted occasional gear-shifting stiffness, particularly around fourth gear, on certain units.

Gear shifts through the 5-speed box generally felt smooth, though a small number of owners flagged occasional stiffness locking into fourth gear on certain units, a minor niggle rather than a widespread issue across the model's production run. Acceleration remained adequate for daily commuting, prioritising smooth, predictable delivery over outright speed.

The Bajaj CT 125X seat height sat at 810 mm, with a long, comfortable seat that owners consistently praised for extended rides, though this taller stance meant shorter riders, particularly those under 5.5 feet, occasionally struggled to plant both feet firmly at a standstill.

A kerb weight of around 130 kg felt manageable in traffic, and ground clearance of 170 mm gave the CT 125X real confidence over rough, broken roads and rural stretches. The suspension used telescopic front forks with 125 mm of stroke and SNS rear shocks with Nitrox and 100 mm of stroke, tuned well for comfort across varied road conditions, absorbing bumps and potholes confidently without feeling harsh or unsettled.

Braking used a combined braking system across both variants, with the base trim relying on drum brakes at both ends and the higher variant adding a front disc for improved stopping confidence. Handling felt stable and predictable, particularly appreciated by delivery riders and buyers covering long daily distances on varied terrain.

The pillion comfort benefited from the CT 125X's long, well-cushioned seat, with owners consistently describing two-up rides as comfortable even over extended distances, a notable strength compared to some sportier or more compact commuter rivals in the same price bracket.

The Bajaj CT 125X mileage was owner-reported at 60 kmpl, with ARAI rating it similarly at around 61.3 kmpl under standardised test conditions, impressive figures that made the CT 125X one of the most fuel-efficient options in its 125cc segment.

The 11-litre fuel tank gave a range of up to 660 km per fill at rated efficiency, considerably reducing fueling stops for high-mileage daily commuters and delivery riders who made up a significant share of the CT 125X's original buyer base.

Existing owners who covered high monthly distances, particularly delivery riders, consistently reported the CT 125X holding up well mechanically, with the engine's simple, well-proven design contributing to low long-term ownership costs.

The Bajaj CT 125X price last ranged from Rs. 73,640 for the base Drum variant to Rs. 76,846 for the Disc variant, before the model was discontinued in India during 2025.

The Bajaj CT 125X on-road price is no longer quoted by dealerships due to its discontinuation from Bajaj’s current India line-up, though used examples remain available on the pre-owned market for interested buyers.

Buyers specifically searching for the CT 125X today should consider pre-owned options or explore the related Bajaj CT 110X or alternatives like the TVS Raider and Honda SP 125 for a comparable rugged commuter experience.
