Bajaj XCD 125

About
The Bajaj XCD 125 was designed to fill the gap between entry-level motorcycles and more premium models, offering a blend of fuel efficiency, functional design, and affordability. Powered by a 125cc DTS-Si engine, this bike produced approximately 9.4 horsepower and was paired with a 5-speed gearbox, which was uncommon in the 125cc category at the time. The bike featured a digital speedometer, LED tail lamps, and a self-starter, giving it a modern touch. Its lightweight frame and suspension setup, including telescopic front forks and twin hydraulic rear shock absorbers, provided a comfortable ride over urban terrains. While it lacked advanced safety features like ABS and disc brakes, the XCD 125 remained a safe and manageable option for both new and experienced riders. Its design was conservative yet sleek, making it suitable for everyday riders looking for a practical and easy-to-maintain motorcycle.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Bajaj XCD 125, although discontinued since 2009, was a notable contender in the commuter segment during its time. My experience with this bike highlights its excellent ride quality, which was significantly better than most 100 cc bikes available in the Indian market. The bikes handling was stable and agile, even with a pillion rider, making it a reliable choice for urban commuting. However, the braking system was a major letdown, with drum brakes that lacked bite and did not inspire confidence. Despite this, the XCD 125s fuel efficiency, functional design, and affordable price made it a practical option for budget-conscious riders. If youre considering purchasing a used XCD 125, ensure youre satisfied with its braking performance, as this could be a deal-breaker.
Price
The Bajaj XCD 125, when it was available, had an ex-showroom price in Delhi of around Rs. 38,511. However, since the bike is no longer in production, any pricing would be relevant to the used market. On-road prices for a used XCD 125 can vary widely depending on the bikes condition, mileage, and location. You might find a well-maintained model for anywhere between Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 40,000, but these prices are highly negotiable and dependent on the seller. As an old model, the XCD 125s value has depreciated significantly, making it a budget-friendly option for those looking for a reliable commuter bike without the hefty price tag.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 10:16 PM The Bajaj XCD 125 is known for its impressive fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many Indian buyers. With a reported mileage of around 60-70 kmpl in real city conditions, this bike stands out as one of the most fuel-efficient motorcycles in its class. This high mileage makes it an economical choice for daily commuting, helping to keep running costs low. If youre concerned about mileage and running costs, the XCD 125 is certainly a viable option.

Bajaj XCD 125 Review

Detailed Review by Maxabout Team

The XCD looks quite eye-catching, especially as an upgrade from the 100-110cc bikes we're used to. The XCD has familiar lines of the present line up of Bajaj Bikes. The Headlamp, Side-Panels, Tail Lamps reminds you of the bigger Pulsars and the Discover.

The build quality is very good and looks and feels like a well put together motorcycle. The XCD also boasts of a Self Starter which according to be is a delightful feature to have. The XCD also features a Digital Speedometer which I thought looks plain and could have been better turned out. The switches are among the best in its segment and are pretty comprehensive. Push to cancel turn indicator switch is present along with the high beam flasher and the Ride Control switch.

A few people might complain that the XCD doesn't look different from the other Bajaj models. Inspite of its small packaging, the XCD manages to looks sharp and Handsome. On slotting the XCD into the first gear, the gearbox felt a bit notchy. But nevertheless it felt way better than the Pulsar gearboxes. The bike pulled cleanly through the gears and is comfortable to potter around in the top gear. The engine was relatively smooth and devoid of vibrations but it in terms of smoothness Bajaj engine can still improve.

Following are the performance figures of XCD:

0-60km/h - 8s
0-80km/h - 17s
Top speed - 93km/h
City Fuel economy: 64kmpl
Highway Fuel economy: 82kmpl

The ride quality of XCD is very good and leagues ahead than any current 100 cc bike in the Indian market. The XCD feels like a bigger bike on the move. The XCD rewards you with a very good ride quality. It has almost become the norm about Bajaj having the best ride quality among Indian bikes. The Pulsars already have the best ride quality in the country today followed by the Discover 135 and now the XCD.

The initial fuel efficiency of XCD is around 70 plus Km per litre in real city conditions which puts the XCD among the most fuel efficient motorcycles in India along with the Fuel Injected Glamour Fi. The XCD has everything covered from the ride quality, handling, power/pickup which is definitely better than any 100 cc bike in India today. Probably the fuel efficiency of the XCD is also going to be very good.
