The Bajaj Boxer was it really indestructible?

Bajaj Boxers had a reputation for extreme durability and reliability, particularly in rural regions of the earth and developing countries. Boxers, according to many owners, run for decades with virtually no maintenance. Was this reputation deserved or was it clever marketing? In this article, let’s take a look at how the Boxer stands up in the real world, what are the most common issues, and how does it compare to modern bikes in terms of longevity. Was it its simple design that led to its reliability or were other things involved? Let us know in the comments and share your thoughts on whether the Boxer lived up to its 'indestructible' image.

Absolutely! Thing's a tank, my dad's Boxer from the 90s is still kicking after 200,000 km.

Reliable? Yes. Indestructible? Nah. Mine were always dodgy electrics.

Tough, but not as bad as you might think. Overall modern bikes are way more reliable.

The Boxer's rep was earned: simple design meant fewer things to go wrong.

How you define "indestructible" depends. It would take a beating, but it needed to be cared for properly.

Marketing hype for sure. It was decent but nothing special, for its time.

The market was tough in Africa. If it can survive in there, it can survive anywhere.
