If an advertisement by Bajaj Motorcycles is to be believed, then it is quite shocking to see the company’s claim of selling 1.5 lakh CT100 motorcycles in just 100 days.
The Pune-based manufacturer relaunched the CT100 brand in India after a gap of almost nine years in March 2015. The whole intention of launching this affordable mass market motorcycle is to cater to the lowest end of the commuter segment. With a price tag of Rs 35,034 (ex-showroom Delhi), the CT100 is one of the most affordable motorcycles in the market and the cheapest Bajaj.
The CT100 is based on the same double cradle frame as the Platina and is powered by the same 99.3cc single-cylinder engine of the Platina. This engine produces 8.1bhp and 8.05Nm of torque and is mated to a four-speed transmission. It has been developed with focus on extracting maximum efficiency, and Bajaj has claimed an average of 89.5kmpl for this motorcycle.
We are expecting the sales of the Bajaj CT100 to pick up during the festive season and take away some sales from the leader – the Hero Splendor.
