BAJAJ CT 110X | DETAILED REVIEW

Bajaj CT 110X Detailed Review

Main Features

• Engine: 115.45 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine tuned for fuel economy rather than performance. Rated at 9.5 PS and 9.9 Nm.
• Fuel economy: The reviewer reports 65–70 km/L in city riding and 75–80 km/L on highways with gentle riding.
• Dimensions and practicality: 810 mm seat height, 124 kg weight, and 170 mm ground clearance. The reviewer, who is 5 ft 8 in tall, could put both feet down. The bike was also easy to manoeuvre in a parking lot.
• Comfort: A long, wide seat with soft padding and generous pillion space. The front telescopic suspension and rear spring-in-spring suspension are set up for comfort and carrying loads, including on rough roads.
• Lighting: Halogen headlight, indicators, and tail light, plus a front LED DRL. The headlight throw is described as decent at night, though not as bright as an LED headlight.
• Controls and equipment: Basic switches, an analog speedometer, odometer and fuel gauge, warning indicators, a Type-A USB charging port, and a kick starter. There is no Bluetooth connectivity.
• Rugged styling and utility: Headlight protectors, a crash guard, a top-box setup, and sari guards give it a small-adventure-bike look and practical carrying potential.
• Tyres and brakes: TVS Eurogrip dual-purpose tube tyres—70-section at the front and 76.2-section at the rear. Drum brakes are fitted front and rear (130 mm front, 110 mm rear), with combined braking (CBS).
• Price quoted: ₹71,500 in Trivandrum, Kerala.

Riding Experience and Performance

The bike feels easy to handle in traffic, including with a pillion, and the reviewer says it filters through traffic smoothly. Suspension comfort is a major strength: potholes and uneven roads were handled very well, even with a passenger. The mirrors were praised for providing a clear view behind.

There is enough power for routine overtaking, such as passing smaller buses and cars, but performance and top speed are limited compared with a performance-oriented bike. The reviewer describes 45–50 km/h as the engine’s sweet spot for economy. Vibrations are low at 30–50 km/h, begin to increase above 70 km/h, and make the ride less pleasant around 95 km/h.

Pros

• Strong reported fuel economy.
• Comfortable seat and suspension, including for a pillion.
• Manageable weight and easy handling in traffic.
• High ground clearance and dual-purpose tyres for rougher roads.
• Useful everyday equipment, including a USB charging port, kick starter, and practical guards.
• Considered good value for a basic commuter by the reviewer.

Cons

• Modest performance and top speed; not recommended for high-speed commuting.
• Drum-brake stopping performance is described as limited, particularly at higher speeds; both brakes are needed to stop.
• Tube tyres rather than tubeless tyres.
• Halogen lighting is less bright than LED headlights.
• Basic analog console and plain keys; no Bluetooth connectivity.
• Vibrations increase at higher speeds.

Comparisons Mentioned

• Bajaj Platina: The paint finish and quality are said to be similar. The rear suspension design is also noted as one already seen on the Platina.
• Pulsar: The CT 110X’s power figures may look comparable on paper, but its fuel-economy-focused tuning means its power delivery is not comparable.
• Splendor: The reviewer says braking is not especially impressive, comparing it with the Splendor, though the CT 110X’s front brake is described as more progressive.

Verdict

The reviewer recommends the CT 110X as a practical, comfortable, fuel-efficient commuter for daily city use, rough roads, and load-carrying or delivery work. It is a poor fit for buyers who prioritize strong acceleration, high-speed riding, or more capable braking.

Speaker perspective: One reviewer provides all the observations; no other speakers or differing opinions are presented. No numerical rating is given.
