Bajaj CT 125x : It is also one of the most utilitarian and robust looking commuter motorcycles on sale in India right now.

Designed with daily commuters in mind, for whom fuel economy, hardiness and low maintenance are more important than performance baubles, the CT 125X combines simplicity and ruggedness in a tidy package.

This bike for a clear purpose – to provide dependable transportation over all sorts of roads, particularly in semi-urban and rural areas where the roads are not always picture perfect.

Durable Construction with Tons of Features

The CT 125X feels durable, at the outset. Unlike regular 125cc bikes that focus on urban runnings, the design has been thoughtfully tailored for rough usage and harsh environment.

The round headlamp, the fork gaiters, the engine bash plate and the heavy crash guards underline its functional, no-nonsense stance.

It gets semi-knobby tyres which offer decent traction on broken or loose surfaces.

The blacked out engine and alloy wheels offer a touch of visual appeal, and the long, well-padded seat provides comfort for both the rider and the pillion.

There’s also a rear luggage rack which means it’s ideal for transporting loads, something that would be particularly handy (I suspect) in rural and delivery situations.

To put it bluntly, this is a machine made for Indian realities: potholes, mud and all.

Simple and comfortable ergonomics

The CT 125X has an upright and relaxed riding position with wide-handlebars and forward footpegs.

This provides for a comfortable seat during long daily commutes, and reduces rider fatigue.

There is enough space on the seat to fit two adults or a rider with a bunch of stuff.

The gauge cluster is analog and plain, showing the essentials like speed, fuel level and indicator lights.

There’s no fancy digital screen here, and that’s on purpose — fewer electronics only mean fewer things that can go wrong, a real concern in dusty or wet conditions.

With this kind of a selection of features, aim-9 is design to offer functionality, resembling the bike it is supporting.

Essential Everyday Performance

The engine on the CT 125X is the 124.4cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled motor from Bajaj’s proven commuter three wheelers.

It churns out 10.9 PS and 11 Nm of power and torque, respectively, but that’s adequate when you consider this bike will do nothing more than the daily duties of commuting, load carrying, or a quick rural trip.

Except for Indian roads, engine feels refined to use otherwise and the 5-speed gearbox is slick too.

The CT 125X does not rip the pavement apart but pulls cleanly through the gears and takes to slow-speed traffic or steep inclines with gusto.

The bike behaves well on broken roads and remains stable on moderate highway speeds as well.

Ride Quality and Braking

Telescopic front forks and dual spring-in-spring rear shock absorbers have been added to the CT 125X and are tuned for comfort off road.

It soaks up potholes, speed breakers and other undulations quite well and feels planted even when it’s loaded.

The braking duties are performed by disc brake at the front and drum at the rear with CBS (combi-brake system) for better braking safety.

The braking setup is solid for the category and provides security, particularly considering that you are sitting on loose surfaces.

Fuel economy and servicing

Bajaj is known for efficient bikes, and the CT 125X is no exception. It provides a real-world mileage of 55–60 km/l*, depending on usage.

It is well capable of covering long distances, thanks to the 11-liter fuel tank, for the minimum time spent at the gas station.

Maintenance costs are low and parts are readily available even in small towns.

Thanks to the bike’s basic mechanicals, you can get it serviced anywhere across any Bajaj dealership or your local garage.

Bajaj CT 125x: Verdict

The Bajaj CT 125X is not about riding fast or looking good while doing so—it’s about scratching out a living on India’s rough streets.

Whether you are a delivery rider, someone commuting daily, or living in a rural location, the no fuss of the CT 125X just does the job, day in and day out, road after road.”
