Bajaj CT100: Same Reliable Workhorse, Now with a Sporty Makeover
legendary Bajaj CT100 is back—and it’s not just another budget bike. It’s got a sharp new design, LED headlamps, and a claimed 92 kmpl fuel efficiency. But is it still the king of commuter bikes?
- Who’s it for? Daily riders, college students, delivery guys—anyone who cares more about mileage than speed.
- Why now? With fuel prices hitting ₹100/litre again, Bajaj’s timing is perfect.
- Nostalgia factor? Oh yes. This was India’s “No-BS” bike—literally and figuratively.
“92 kmpl sounds insane—but can it actually deliver? Or is this just another lab-tested fantasy?”
Design & Features: Budget Bike No Longer Looks Budget
What’s New?
LED Headlamp (Finally, you won’t need a flashlight at night)
Sportier Graphics & Colors (Because even frugal riders want style)
Comfier Seat & Better Ergonomics (Less back pain on long rides)
SNS Suspension (Better bumps absorption—no more spine adjustments)
What’s Still Basic?
Analog Speedometer (No fancy digital cluster here)
Drum Brakes (F & R) (Disc brake? Nah, that’s extra.)
No ABS (Safety? That’s your responsibility, pal.)
Engine & Performance: 92 kmpl – Real or Marketing Gimmick?
Key Specs
- 99.27cc Single-Cylinder (Tuned for mileage, not speed)
- 7.9 HP & 8.1 Nm Torque (Enough for city crawl, not highway thrill)
- 4-Speed Gearbox (Smooth shifts, but don’t expect quick overtakes)
Real-World Mileage?
- Claimed: 92 kmpl
- Expected Actual: 80-85 kmpl (traffic + pillion = efficiency drops)
Verdict: Still best-in-class, but don’t expect 92 kmpl in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
