Bajaj CT 125X Arrives At Dealerships; India Launch Soon

The X hints at a rugged build

Bajaj Auto is gearing up for the launch of the CT125X in India. The motorcycle has started arriving at showrooms, indicating that the price could be announced soon. Bajaj will probably sell the CT125X as a rugged option to the other 125cc commuters, like it did with the CT110 and CT110X.  

The upcoming bike adopts styling that is similar to the Bajaj CT110X. It gets a sturdy-looking round headlight with a V-shaped DRL on its cowl. Staying true to its ‘X’ tag, it gets thick crash guards, fork gaiters and a large grab rail, which should double up as a luggage rack.

What’s also visible in the video is that the bike will get a single piece seat, USB charger and new graphics. Apart from the black and red colour schemes, it has also been given a new dual-tone glossy black and green shade. 

The international-spec CT 125 features a 124.5cc, air-cooled engine paired to a 5-speed gearbox. It makes 10PS and 10.5Nm. That said, the India-spec bike might lose some power in order to comply with the BS6 norms. 

The CT125X gets a telescopic fork along with dual shock absorbers. Braking duties are handled by 130mm drum brakes at the front and rear. Other underpinnings include 17-inch wheels at both ends. Boosting its practicality are a 114kg kerb weight and a 10.5-litre fuel tank. 

Bajaj could announce the bike’s prices some time next month, and we expect the bike to carry a price tag of about Rs 80,000 (ex-showroom). With that, it would lock horns with the Honda Shine and Hero Super Splendor.
