Bajaj CT100

CT 100 is a basic commuter and designed to run as a daily workhorse. The styling is simple with absolutely standard lines along with some graphics thrown in. The CT 100B is the simplest of all which comes with a round headlight assembly, zero bodywork at the back and spoke wheels. The build quality is rugged and can handle the beating of daily city traffic. On the other hand, the alloy wheel version has a front bikini fairing and panels at the tail section. The speedometer is simple and gives basic information.

The rider sits upright holding a chrome single-piece handlebar. The rear to the handlebar is easy and so it is to the various handlebar switches. The foot-pegs are located conservatively as well for an easy riding stance. The seat is flat and long to accommodate both the rider and the pillion. It is well-padded and comfortable for daily commuting. The chassis and suspension package is absolutely basic but the rear shockers are of spring-in-spring type.

The engine is a 97.27cc single-cylinder unit which is capable of producing 8.2 PS of power at 7,500 RPM and 8.05 NM of torque at 4,500 RPM. These are competitive figures in its segment.

CT 100 comes with a 4-speed constant mesh gearbox. The whole system is frugal and smooth enough to guarantee positive shifts along with the light clutch pull.

CT 100 comes with 110mm drum brakes at both ends. While the setup keeps the price under control, it works quite well for the given performance of the motorcycle.

CT 100 is known to provide one of the best fuel efficiency in its class and with a fuel tank capacity of 10.5 litres, the overall range is more than satisfactory in one full tank.
