Can budget conscious riders afford to get hyped about the Bajaj CT125X?

If you are on a tight budget, honestly, I think the CT125X is a solid choice. It’s not fancy, but it works. I’ve owned one for a few months, and for the price it is surprisingly capable. It has decent build quality and rough roads can take a beating with it.

I'm not sold on it. You know, it's cheap upfront, but Bajaj's after sales service is a nightmare. In the long run you may be spending more on repairs and maintenance. In this segment, I’d rather save up a bit more and go for a Honda or TVS.

The CT125X is hard to beat if you are a daily commuter. It's fuel efficient, easy to drive in traffic and parts are inexpensive. Don't expect a highway cruiser or a performance machine. If you know what it can and can’t do, you’ll be happy with it.

But I think it’s a bit overhyped. This is just a basic commuter, nothing special about it. The ride is pretty stiff, and the seat gets uncomfable on longer rides. If you are mostly doing short trips, then okay, but there are better options if you need versatility.

At the price, it's a decent starter bike. It’s perfect for learning and getting comfortable on two wheels, without breaking the bank. As long as you keep up with regular maintenance it should serve you well.
Is the higher spec Himalayan 450 going to lose the affordability that drew so many riders to the original?

Definitely. Higher prices always come with better specs. It’s going out of fashion.

RE knows their market. Even if it’ll be pricier than before, they’ll keep it competitive.

The budget option will probably continue production of the old one.

It's more expensive, but you're getting so much more bike for the money.

It'll still undercut the Japanese and European competition even with a price hike.

If it's better reliability and performance, the higher price might worth the extra costs.

But it's still likely to be one of the most affordable 'proper' ADV bikes out there.
Will BYD Seagull’s success inspire other manufacturers to bring more affordable EVs to the market?

I hope so! More affordable EVs are what we desperately need to accelerate adoption. Other manufacturers might need the Seagull to be the kick in the pants they needed.

I'm skeptical. You can’t do that price point; big automakers have too much overhead. They'll probably target slightly higher segments.

I think this might encourage them to make more affordable options, but we won't see anything quite as cheap as the Seagull from the big brands.

The real impact will likely come in the form of forcing other manufacturers to justify their higher prices. To compete, they'll have to provide clear advantages.

I believe the market will split. Luxury brands will concentrate on premium features and performance and budget brands will try to compete with BYD.

It's not just about price. BYD has found a way to streamline production and bring down costs, so other manufacturers have to figure out how to do the same.

The success of the Seagull could force innovation to come from some unexpected places. We may see other brands bring more stripped down, basic EVs for urban use.
Is Ford’s Thar.e too similar to the Ford Bronco?
31 December 2024 10:45
And it's definitely inspired by the Bronco, but I don't think it's a straight rip off. It is similar in overall shape but Mahindra has put their own flair on it.
