Bajaj CT100 ES
Price in Bangladesh

The Bajaj CT100 ES model is extremely popular, especially among those looking for an affordable, durable, and remarkably fuel-efficient bike for their daily commute. It carries forward the popularity and credibility of the CT series. In this review, we will analyze every important aspect of the bike, from its design to its engine and performance.



Design
The design of the Bajaj CT100 ES is extremely simple yet purposeful. It can be called the perfect example of a "regular commuter" bike, focusing on practicality and durability rather than style. The bike comes with a combination of smooth graphics and bright colors. Being the "ES" (Electric Start) variant, it offers the convenience of an electric start button in addition to the kick start, making it much more convenient than its previous models. It offers a long and comfortable seat, providing relief for both the rider and the pillion on long journeys.



Body Dimensions
The bike's length, height, and ground clearance are designed to allow it to travel smoothly on both urban and rural roads. The high ground clearance prevents the bike from scraping against bad roads or speed breakers.
The body dimensions of the Bajaj CT100 ES bike are specifically created keeping the practical aspects of a commuter bike in mind. The overall length of the bike is approximately 1945 mm and the width is about 770 mm, which makes it slim enough and maneuverable for easy riding through city traffic. Its height is approximately 1072 mm. One of the most important features of this bike is its ground clearance, which is about 170 mm. This high ground clearance helps protect the bike from bad roads, high speed breakers, and potholes in Bangladesh. The wheelbase of the bike is about 1235 mm, which aids in maintaining stability. The fuel tank capacity, ideal for daily use, is kept at 10.5 liters, which is sufficient for covering long distances on a single full tank.



Engine and Performance
The main strength of the CT100 ES is its highly reliable engine. Instead of Bajaj's famous DTS-i technology, this bike typically uses a Single Spark, SOHC, Air-cooled engine, which helps it deliver on its core focus—mileage.
Engine Type: 99.27 cc, 4-Stroke, Single Cylinder, Air-Cooled. The engine generates sufficient power and torque for daily commuting.

Max Power: 7.7@7500 RPM
Max Torque: 8.24Nm@5500 RPM
Gearbox: It uses a 4-speed constant mesh gearbox, which ensures smooth gear shifting.



Suspension and Chassis
The bike's suspension setup is designed to tackle the challenges of various roads in Bangladesh and provide the rider with a comfortable riding experience.
Front: Features Telescopic Fork suspension.
Rear: Uses Bajaj's familiar SNS (Spring-in-Spring) suspension. This suspension setup provides extra assistance in absorbing both small and large bumps, making the ride comfortable even on slippery and uneven roads. It enhances the bike's stability and load-bearing capacity.
Chassis: A Single Downtube Frame is used on the bike, which is robust and reliable for a commuter bike.



Braking and Tires
The braking system is kept effective enough to ensure safety.
Braking: Front: 110 mm Drum Brake. Rear: 110 mm Drum Brake.
Combined Braking System (CBS): Some variants currently may feature a Combined Braking System (CBS), which partially activates the front brake when the rear brake is applied.
Tires: Both wheels use tube/tubeless tires (which vary by market) with spoke or alloy wheels. The tire pattern is optimized to ensure good grip on the road.



Electrical & Features
Though the CT100 ES is a basic bike, it has some essential features:
Electric Start (ES): The main advantage of this variant is the electric start facility in addition to the kick start.
Headlight: The bike features a powerful halogen bulb headlamp that provides adequate light at night.
Meter Console: It uses an Analog meter console. It includes a speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge. It is simple and easy to read.
Braking: Since there is no option for a disc brake (in the basic model), there is extra reliance on the drum brakes at high speed.
