Bajaj has reintroduced its 100cc commuter motorcycle, the CT100, in the Indian two-wheeler market with ex-showroom Delhi prices beginning at Rs 35,034. Bajaj’s production line bid adieu to CT100 back in 2006 but the manufacturer has revived the motor. We expect Bajaj to target the rural population with the revived CT100. The latest edition of the Bajaj CT100 receives new body graphics with three colour, a 10.5 litre fuel tank and three-inch wide tyres. The motorcycle can also be bought with a pair of alloy wheel which pushes the price up to Rs 38,034 (ex-showroom Delhi).
Mechanically, the Bajaj CT100 runs on a 99.27 cc, 4-stroke, singe-cylinder, air-cooled motor that delivers 8.1 bhp of power @ 7500 rpm and 8.05 Nm of torque @ 4500 rpm. The kerb weight of the new CT100 tips the scale at 108 and 109 kilograms for spoke wheel and alloy wheel variants respectively. The engine comes mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The motorcycle is claimed to achieve a top speed of 90kmph and has a ARAI certified fuel efficiency figure of 89.5kmpl. The bumps on the road are soaked in by a telescopic fork at the front and Bajaj’s two-spring SNS (spring in spring) suspension at the back.
