Built around Bajaj's allround motorcycle platform, the 2023 Bajaj CT 125X features a 124.4 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.9 HP (8 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 87.6 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the CT 125X measures 129 kg (284 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (11.83 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,285 mm (50.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 90 km/h (56 mph).
