Mileage is one of the most important aspects for Indian riders and for the right reasons. The price of fuel has reached a point that is compelling the common person to reduce their expenses.
Hence, investing in fuel efficient means of commute such as the Bajaj CT 110 makes a lot of sense. Apart from being a fuel efficient motorcycle, the CT 110 offers more than meets the eye.
This post in the following sections will shed light on factors that make the CT110 a desirable product.
Here goes –
Introduction
The latest iteration of the CT 110 is available with a kick-start variant. Bajaj also offers the bike in an electric-start variant.
The latest iteration of the bike is meant for urban as well as rural riders. Hence, Bajaj improved all the essential bits of the bike.
For example, the bike boasts –
- Better ride quality
- Better suspension travel
- Better performance parameters and more.
Looks and colour schemes
In terms of looks, the designers at Bajaj kept the looks of the bike subtle and elegant. Furthermore, the bike now comes with a reduced dry weight. Hence, it is ideal for riders who recently got their license.
Apart from being one of the best mileage bikes in India the CT 110 is also a good looking vehicle.
Bajaj offers the bike in several colour schemes and they are –
-
- Gloss ebony black + blue decals
- Gloss flame red + bright red decals and
- Matte olive green + yellow decals.
Mechanical specs
The CT 110 is powered by a single cylinder, BS-6 compliant, air-cooled engine. The displacement of the engine stands at 115. CCs. The engine belts out 8.6 BHP of peak power and 9.81 Nm of peak torque. The bike comes with a 4-speed smooth shifting gearbox. A 5-speed unit would have been better. However, the gear ratios are carefully calibrated. This ensures that the rider gets the best performance out of the engine at all times. The clutch pull action is light.
Handling and ride quality
The overall handling and ride quality of the CT 110 is amazing and can be considered as best-in-class.
The suspension duties on the bike are carried out by hydraulic telescopic front fork suspension units. The suspension travel at the front stands at 125 mm. The rear suspension duties are carried out by two SNS type suspension units. SNS or sprint-in-spring suspension is a Bajaj-patented technology. The rear suspension travel is limited to 100 mm.
The ride could feel a bit harsh when the bike is ridden by only the rider. With a pillion rider, the ride feels soft. However, traversing over undulations could prove to be a bit bouncy, at times.
Other best bits
- The seats on the bike are cushioned properly and the padding doesn’t feel too hard to sit on. The seat dimensions are perfect for long rides through paved and unpaved rural roads.
- The bike also comes equipped with rubber pads on the sides of its fuel tank. The purpose of these pads is simple. They are affixed to offer support to the inner thighs of the rider. Apart from keeping the rider comfortable, the tank pads also add to the appeal of the bike.
- The front suspension units of the bike are equipped with bellows. The affixed bellows inject air into the suspension that allows the bike to glide over undulations and potholes.
It is evident that the CT 110 is a value for money motorcycle from Bajaj. Hence, if a rider wants to own a cheap-to-run bike with a no-fuss engine then this is the one. For more details, visiting the nearest Bajaj-authorised dealer is strongly advised.
