Is the Bajaj CT 150X really the hype it is, for big guys?
Bajaj CT 150X has been marketed as a bike which is robust and can be ridden by all sizes of riders. Yet, online there has been a lot of debate as to whether it really does live up to this claim, and for larger riders in particular. Users who spend hours in the saddle say they feel cramped on longer rides, while others rave about the roomy seat and ergonomics. The bike suspension and frame have also weighed in on whether they can support heavier riders without a problem or complaints. Furthermore, there are questions about the bike’s power delivery and if it’s enough for bigger riders who might also be carrying a passenger or cargo. This has sparked a debate about how big guys can get a comfortable and capable commuter in the 150cc segment.
I can definitely say the CT 150X is surprisingly comfortable, being a 6'2" guy weighing 95kg. It’s the right handlebar height, and the seat is wide enough for me. Nothing to complain on longer rides.
I'm not convinced. I'm 5'10" and 85kg and find the footpegs a bit too high. It’s fine for short commutes, but anything more than an hour and my knees start whining.
It's decent for what you pay but it's no cruiser. If you're over 6 feet you may want to check out something like the Avenger 160.
I actually really like it for bigger guys. The suspension is fine for my 100kg frame and the power is enough for city riding. Plus, it’s much more affordable than most alternatives.
It's a mixed bag. The overall ergonomics are good for taller riders, the seat is comfy. I ended up installing a handlebar riser, which made the world of a difference.
I'm 5'8" and on the heavier side, and I think it's perfect. One of the few bikes in this segment that doesn't make me feel like I am riding a toy.
People are expecting too much from a budget commuter, I think. The CT 150X does a good job for what it is, accommodating larger riders. And don't expect it to be premium comfort.
