Bajaj CT 125X — Overview

Discontinued 125cc commuter priced ₹74,016 - ₹77,216 ex-showroom. Delivers 59.6 kmpl ARAI mileage and 10.9 PS power with adventure-inspired styling and standard crash guards.

Discontinuation notice: The Bajaj CT 125X was officially discontinued in November 2024 due to low sales volumes. It is no longer in active production. New purchases depend on remaining dealer stock - confirm availability before visiting a dealership.

The Bajaj CT 125X was Bajaj's adventure-styled 125cc commuter - an 'X' variant in the CT family positioned between the entry-level CT 110 and the sportier Pulsar 125. It arrived with crash guards as standard, an 810mm seat height for a taller stance, a 59.6 kmpl ARAI claim, and 10.9 PS from its 124.4cc air-cooled engine. Two variants: Drum (Rs 74,016) and Disc (Rs 77,216). The adventure styling attracted attention but ultimately could not drive enough volume to justify continued production.

Bajaj CT 125X Latest Updates

View all

  • Bajaj Auto officially discontinued the CT 125X in November 2024 due to persistently low sales volumes. The model was removed from Bajaj's active product lineup. The CT 125X had occupied an awkward mid-position between the entry-level CT 110 and the sportier Pulsar 125 - buyers who wanted pure economy chose the cheaper CT 110, while buyers seeking more performance and style opted for the Pulsar 125 or TVS Raider 125. The adventure-styled 'X' branding attracted interest but could not sustain sufficient purchase volume. Bajaj has not announced a direct replacement. Remaining dealer stock is expected to deplete over the following months.

What We Like

  • 59.6 kmpl ARAI-claimed mileage - excellent fuel efficiency for a 125cc motorcycle; real-world returns of 52-56 kmpl keep running costs low for daily commuters
  • Standard crash guards on both variants - protect the engine and lower bodywork from tip-over damage; normally an accessory add-on costing Rs 1,500-3,000 on competitors
  • 102 kg kerb weight - lightweight for its segment; easy to manoeuvre in traffic and park on inclines
  • Adventure 'X' styling with taller stance distinguishes it visually from the sea of conventional commuter motorcycles at this price point
  • 5-speed gearbox - better highway cruising capability than 4-speed rivals at this price
  • 10.9 PS and 11 Nm - adequate, competitive power for everyday 125cc commuting

What Could Be Better

  • DISCONTINUED (November 2024) - no longer in production; purchases available only from remaining dealer stock
  • 810 mm seat height - taller than most 125cc commuter rivals; may be challenging for shorter riders at traffic stops
  • Adventure styling without off-road substance - the 'X' credentials are cosmetic; no meaningful capability beyond paved roads
  • Squeezed positioning between CT 110 and Pulsar 125 drove the low sales that led to discontinuation
  • 11-litre fuel tank is slightly smaller than key rivals
  • Discontinued status adds long-term parts availability uncertainty for buyers in remote areas

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Bajaj CT 125X?

The Bajaj CT 125X had a sensible brief - bring adventure-inspired styling to the budget 125cc commuter segment at an accessible price. The 59.6 kmpl ARAI claim, standard crash guards, and 102 kg weight were genuine selling points. What it could not overcome was its positioning: too expensive for CT 110 buyers who just needed basic transport, not exciting enough for buyers who could stretch to the Pulsar 125 or TVS Raider. The discontinuation in November 2024 reflects that market reality, not a flaw in the motorcycle itself. For 2026 buyers who find remaining dealer stock at a meaningful discount: the CT 125X is a solid, reliable 125cc commuter with better mileage than most competitors and the practical bonus of standard crash guards. Confirm stock, negotiate price, and ensure Bajaj service is accessible in your area before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

QIs the Bajaj CT 125X still available in 2026?▾
The Bajaj CT 125X was officially discontinued in November 2024 due to low sales volumes. It is no longer in production. New purchases depend on remaining dealer stock only - availability varies by city and dealer. Confirm with your nearest Bajaj dealer before visiting.
QWhat is the mileage of Bajaj CT 125X?▾
The Bajaj CT 125X has an ARAI-claimed mileage of 59.6 kmpl. Real-world user-reported mileage is approximately 52-56 kmpl under mixed urban and highway riding. With an 11-litre tank, real-world range per fill is approximately 572-616 km.
QWhy was the Bajaj CT 125X discontinued?▾
Bajaj discontinued the CT 125X in November 2024 due to persistently low sales volumes. The bike was squeezed between the cheaper CT 110 (which served pure economy buyers) and the sportier Pulsar 125 and TVS Raider 125 (which attracted buyers willing to spend slightly more for better performance). The CT 125X's adventure-styled niche could not attract sufficient volume to justify continued production.
QBajaj CT 125X drum vs disc - which variant to buy?▾
Buy the Disc variant (Rs 77,216) if you regularly ride in city traffic with frequent braking - the front disc provides better stopping performance and lower maintenance than a drum. Buy the Drum variant (Rs 74,016) if you are in a rural or semi-urban area where lower maintenance simplicity matters more. The Rs 3,200 difference between variants is worth paying for the disc if city riding is your primary use.
QBajaj CT 125X vs Honda Shine 125 - which is better?▾
The Honda Shine 125 is the better choice for most buyers - it is in current production with Honda's nationwide service network, has a lower 800mm seat height, and comes with Honda's proven reliability. The CT 125X edges it on mileage and offers crash guards as standard. However, the CT 125X is discontinued; for a new purchase in 2026, the Honda Shine 125 is the safer long-term ownership decision.
QWhat is the on-road price of Bajaj CT 125X?▾
The last known ex-showroom prices were Rs 74,016 (Drum) and Rs 77,216 (Disc). On-road price in most metros - adding RTO (9-13%), insurance, and charges - is approximately Rs 86,000-96,000 for the Disc variant. Confirm actual pricing with dealers as the bike is discontinued and dealer pricing may vary.
QIs the Bajaj CT 125X good for daily commuting?▾
Yes - the CT 125X is a competent daily commuter. The 59.6 kmpl ARAI mileage, 102 kg light weight, and standard crash guards make it practical for urban use. The 810mm seat height may challenge shorter riders. For buyers who find remaining stock, it works well for commutes up to 40-60 km per day with reasonable running costs.
QWhat replaced the Bajaj CT 125X?▾
Bajaj has not announced a direct replacement for the CT 125X. The CT family continues with the CT 110 at the entry level. Buyers looking for a 125cc commuter from Bajaj are directed to the Pulsar 125, which is positioned slightly higher in price and performance. The CT 125X's adventure-styled 125cc niche remains unfilled in Bajaj's current lineup.
