Bajaj CT 125 was launched a few years ago, but it got a new version called the CT 125X around 2022. As of May 2025, this bike is no longer sold new in India, as it has been taken off the market. However, you can still find used ones in many places, and it’s known for its good mileage and strong build.
Look and Build
The CT 125X has a tough look that makes it different from other small bikes. The front has a round headlamp with a small guard around it, giving it a strong style. It also has a wide handlebar and a big luggage rack at the back, which is good for carrying things. The bike comes in colors like black with green, black with blue, and black with red stickers. It has alloy wheels that look nice and help it move well on rough roads. The bike is 2000 mm long, 770 mm wide, and 1080 mm tall, with a ground clearance of 170 mm, which is good for city and village roads. It weighs around 130 kg, making it easy to handle.
Engine and Power
The CT 125X has a small 124.4cc engine that stays cool with air. It gives okay power, around 10.7 to 10.9 PS, and good strength, around 11 Nm, for easy rides in the city or on small highways. The engine comes with a 5-step gear system that shifts well, making it better for carrying loads or riding with someone behind you. The top speed is about 95 km per hour, which is fine for daily use.
Mileage in Daily Use
The bike is known for saving petrol, with some claims saying it can go 70 km on one litre of petrol under perfect conditions. In real use, it gives around 50-60 km per litre, depending on how you ride and the roads. In busy city areas with many stops, it might drop to 50-55 km per litre. On open roads, if you ride at a steady 40-50 km per hour, it can go up to 60 km per litre. The petrol tank holds 11 litres, so on a full tank, you can ride 550-660 km, depending on your riding style. With petrol at Rs 100 per litre, filling the tank costs Rs 1100, which works out to Rs 1.67 to 2 per km. If you ride fast or on rough roads, the mileage might drop to 50 km per litre, giving a range of 550 km.
Ride and Handling
The CT 125X has a comfy seat that’s 810 mm high and long enough for two people to sit easily. The handlebar is wide, and the foot pegs are in a good spot, so you can ride for a long time without getting tired. The front suspension takes care of small bumps, and the back suspension helps on rough roads. The bike has a drum brake on both wheels, with a system that helps both brakes work together for safe stopping. Some versions have a 240 mm disc brake in the front for better stopping. The tyres are 17 inches and made for tough roads, giving good grip in the city or villages.
Features for Daily Use
The bike has a simple screen that shows speed, distance, and petrol level. It also has a small light that stays on during the day to make the bike easy to see. The big luggage rack at the back can hold up to 7 kg, which is good for carrying things like bags or delivery items. The bike has a USB port to charge your phone, which is handy for long rides. It also has a strong guard around the engine to keep it safe on rough roads.
Price in 2025
The CT 125X price was around Rs 73,600 to Rs 77,200 when it was sold new, depending on the type. Some versions had a disc brake in the front, which cost more. Since it’s no longer made, you can only buy used ones now, and the price might be lower, depending on the bike’s condition and how many km it has been ridden.
Safety Features
The bike has a system that helps the brakes work together for safer stopping. It also has a light that stays on all the time, so other people can see you on the road, especially at night. The tyres are made for tough roads, which helps the bike stay steady even on wet or rough paths. The strong build keeps the bike safe for daily use.
Compared to Other Bikes
The CT 125X used to go up against bikes like the Honda Shine 125 and TVS Sport. The Honda Shine 125 gives around 55 km per litre, costing Rs 1.82 per km at Rs 100/litre. The CT 125X’s 50-60 km per litre costs Rs 1.67 to 2 per km, so the Shine 125 might save a bit. For a daily ride of 50 km, this means yearly savings of Rs 2,700 with the Shine 125. The TVS Sport gives 70 km per litre, costing Rs 1.43 per km, saving Rs 0.24 to 0.57 per km over the CT 125X. But the CT 125X has a tougher build and better features for rough roads, like the big luggage rack.
Support and Maintenance Costs
Bajaj has many service centres in India, so fixing the bike is easy in most places. Some users say the yearly maintenance cost is between Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000, depending on usage. Keeping the bike in good shape, like cleaning the air filter and changing oil on time, helps keep mileage high. If parts like the air filter get dirty, mileage can drop by 3-5 km per litre. Since the bike is no longer made, some parts might be harder to find in small towns.
Market Standing in 2025
In May 2025, the CT 125X is no longer sold new, but it was popular when it was available. It was known for its good mileage, tough build, and low price, making it a top choice in cities and villages. Bajaj has other bikes like the Platina 110 in the market now, but the CT 125X is still liked by those who own used ones for its strength and fuel savings.
Who It’s For
The Bajaj CT 125X is made for riders who want a 2-seater bike with good mileage and a strong build. It suits delivery workers, small business owners, and daily riders who need a bike for city or village roads, with a focus on saving petrol and carrying loads.
