Is the CT125X Drum only a city commuter, or can it really handle long distance touring?

I took my CT125X on a 300km round trip and it did great! It’s no tourer, sure, but for weekend getaways it’s more than up to the task.

No way. It is unsafe for long distance riding due to the lack of a front disc brake alone. With this one stick to the city.

Expectations management is the name of the game. Can it do touring? Yes. Is it ideal? No. If you only have one bike and want to explore, it will do the job.

It depends on the roads, I think. It's fine on smooth highways. Throw in some rough patches or ghats however and you will be wishing for better suspension and more power.

The CT125X is your friend that will go along with whatever you want to do. It won’t be the best for long trips, but it’ll take it without complaining!

Any bike can be a touring bike if you put your mind to it, let's be real. There are definitely better options out there for the same price, though.

I’ve seen food delivery guys ride these for 12+ hours a day. If it can do that, it can do your weekend trip to the next state.
How good is the CT125X Drum's build quality to merit "tough as nails" marketing?

Mine is a year old and it's taken everything i've thrown at it. It's surprisingly good value for money, build wise. It’s not flimsy like some other budget bikes, it feels solid.

A stretch to call him tough as nails. It’s decently built, but I’ve had switchgear issues and the paint quality isn’t great. At its price, maybe it's tough, but that's about it.

The CT125X definitely feels more robust than what I’m used to coming from a Hero Splendor. On the frame and suspension, it appears to be well up to the task of daily abuse.

In some ways it’s tough, but in others it’s not. There's nothing wobbly about the engine and chassis, but everything from the mirrors to the plastic bits feels cheap. It's a mixed bag.

It’s impressively well built for a budget bike. No, let’s not pretend it’s indestructible. It still needs regular maintenance to keep it going.

Bajaj has done a good job with the core components, I think. It's not 'tough as nails,' but it is 'tough as a good quality plastic.'

For its purpose, it has good enough build quality. It will not win any awards, but it will get you through your daily commute without falling apart.

I can vouch for its toughness: I’ve dropped my CT125X a couple of times. It’s not invincible, but it’s much more durable than you’d think.
Is the Bajaj CT125X Drum truly the ultimate 'working class hero' bike?
15 January 2025 10:14
Absolutely! The CT125X is a tank that can withstand a beating. I’ve watched delivery guys beat these bikes to death day in and day out, and they just keep on going. It’s not fancy, but it does what it needs to, without breaking the bank.

I disagree. Cheap and rugged doesn't make it a hero. It's rough behind the wheel, the gearbox is clunky and it sounds louder than your average Celta. But you can get a much more refined bike like the Honda SP 125 for a little more money.

It's a mixed bag. The CT125X is great for what it is meant to be, but 'hero' is a stretch. It’s not glamorous, but it’s always there, always ready to help when you need it – more like the dependable sidekick.

I’ve owned one for a year and I’d say it’s pretty close to being a working class hero. It has been amazing fuel efficiency and I have had zero major issues. However the seat could be more comfortable for long rides.

Basically, it’s just a run of the mill commuter bike with some ‘tough’ looking plastic bits added. Nothing heroic about it. Marketing is all that Bajaj is good at.
