Bajaj CT 100
Bajaj CT 100 is a 100 CC entry-level bike from Bajaj Auto. Bajaj CT 100 clearly targets the value-for-money conscious young bike buyer and offers build quality and trim levels of higher-end bikes at a price closer to that of a traditional metal-bodied scooter. Bajaj CT 100 is surely a combination of good looks, new-age technology, high mileage and features that should be enticing for the entry-level bike buyer.

Looks & Styling
The build quality of Bajaj CT 100 is a big plus. The eye-catching decals on the fuel tank and body side panels and the shapely, wide seating that gradually slopes upward and the chrome grab rail at the rear gives Bajaj CT 100 the appearance similar to that of a more expensive bike.

Control & Comfort
The ergonomically designed seat and the right angled handle of Bajaj CT 100 gives the rider a more comfortable riding posture. Along with wider seats, shorter wheel base makes the ride quite comfortable for the driver. Its front suspension is telescopic and double acting, swing arm, hydraulic type in the rear.

Engine & Performance
Bajaj CT 100 is equipped with a four-stroke, 99.27cc engine. The configuration of the engine block is a bit squarer, which enables the engine to better burn the fuel in the combustion chamber and generate more power and better torque.

Bajaj CT 100 develops 8.2bhp of peak power at 7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 8.05Nm at 5,500 rpm. Bajaj CT 100's torque spread gives the bike a high level of low-speed tolerance and obviates the need for frequent shifting into a lower gear. The low-end torque also aids in achieving high mileage.

Mileage and Economy
Bajaj CT 100 comes with a "Ride Control" switch, which helps in improving the bike's mileage. The unique ride control switch enables the rider to select between the economy and power mode. The economy mode results in better mileage while the power mode gives better pick-up and performance.
