How good is the CT125X Drum's build quality to merit "tough as nails" marketing?

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?

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.

I think it hits the sweet spot for its target. Not everybody needs or wants a fancy bike with everything on it. Sometimes you just need simple and reliable.

Bajaj’s profit margins have a hero in the CT125X! Jokes aside, it’s a good value for money if you’re on a budget and need something that can take abuse.
Is the CT125X Drum’s lack of features actually what some riders want?
15 January 2025 10:14
Absolutely! What drew me to the CT125X is its simplicity. My commuter bike doesn’t need fancy gadgets, just something that works and gets me from A to B.

No way. It's a deal breaker for me that it doesn't have a front disc brake. It shouldn’t be sacrificing safety for a low price.

That depends on what your priorities are. If you are mechanically inclined and like to work on your own bike, then the simplicity of the CT125X is a huge plus. Fewer things to go wrong!

Bajaj missed an opportunity here, I think. At the very least they could have included at least some basic modern features without jacking up the price too much. It’s a bit too bare bones.

It's fine they don't have features, but I wish they had spent that money on better quality components. For example, the suspension can use an upgrade.

The basic feature set is more than enough for city commuting. And, fewer electronics means less chance of electrical gremlins in the future.

I love the minimalism, but a digital speedometer would be an easy addition. It's 2025, after all!
Does the CT125X Drum’s retro look hit or miss?
15 January 2025 10:14
It's a hit for me! This is the cool, no nonsense vibe of the CT125X, reminding me of the bikes my dad used to ride. It’s retro without trying.

Miss. The design is that of a retro and modern mix, which Bajaj couldn’t decide between, so they just threw everything in together. It looks confused.
