2025 Bajaj CT 150: When you think of tough, no-nonsense commuter bikes in India, the Bajaj CT series instantly comes to mind. For years, the CT lineup has been about one thing—reliability at a price that doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket. Whether it’s rural roads, city streets, or long daily commutes, CT bikes have always been built to take a beating and keep going.

Now, in 2025, Bajaj has expanded the family with the launch of the new Bajaj CT 150. And honestly, this feels like the most natural progression for the series. Riders wanted more power, more comfort, and a little more style—without losing the rugged essence of the CT. So, what exactly does this new 150cc commuter bring to the table? Let’s find out.
Design: Practical Yet Sportier
At first glance, the 2025 CT 150 still carries the simple, utilitarian design DNA of the CT range. But Bajaj has added a touch of freshness. The bike gets a sharper headlamp with LED DRLs, a slightly bolder fuel tank with minimal graphics, and new alloy wheels that make it look more premium compared to its smaller siblings.
It’s not flashy, and to be fair, it’s not meant to be. The CT series has always been about function first. But this time around, Bajaj has made sure that even if you’re buying it for practicality, you don’t feel left behind in the looks department.
The long seat, upright handlebars, and sturdy grab rails remind you that this bike is built for daily riders who prioritize comfort and durability.
Engine and Performance
Now, here’s the exciting part. The Bajaj CT 150 comes with a 149cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces around 13 bhp and 13.5 Nm of torque. It’s paired with a 5-speed gearbox, which is a nice step up for a commuter bike.
This means you’re not just getting better acceleration for city rides but also smoother cruising on highways. The power delivery is linear and predictable, which makes it beginner-friendly, while still offering enough grunt for those who occasionally like to push a little harder.
Honestly, this is where the CT 150 stands out. The smaller CT bikes were always reliable, but sometimes they felt underpowered on long stretches. The 150cc engine changes that, giving you more confidence without sacrificing fuel efficiency.
Mileage: Still a CT Strong Point
Of course, mileage remains the key concern for most buyers in this segment. Bajaj claims the CT 150 can deliver around 55–60 km/l under normal riding conditions. That’s impressive, considering you’re also getting extra power compared to 100cc or 125cc commuters.
On the flip side, if you’re switching from a smaller CT, you’ll notice the fuel costs creeping up slightly because of the bigger engine. But to be fair, the balance between power and efficiency feels just right for a 150cc bike in 2025.
Ride and Comfort
Comfort has always been a strong selling point of the CT series, and the 2025 CT 150 continues the tradition. The long, wide seat makes it perfect for both rider and pillion, especially for long commutes. The suspension setup includes telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear, tuned to handle rough Indian roads with ease.
The upright riding position and well-placed footpegs ensure you don’t feel fatigued even after hours of riding. And with decent ground clearance, the CT 150 can tackle speed breakers, potholes, and even rural dirt tracks without much trouble.
Honestly, for anyone looking at this bike as a daily workhorse, the comfort factor is spot-on.
Features and Safety
The CT 150 isn’t overloaded with fancy features—and that’s actually a good thing. Bajaj has kept it simple and practical. You get:
-
A semi-digital instrument cluster (speed, fuel, trip, and gear indicator).
-
Side-stand engine cut-off.
-
LED DRLs for better visibility.
-
Tubeless tyres for safety.
-
CBS (Combined Braking System) as standard, with front disc and rear drum setup.
It’s not trying to compete with sporty 150cc bikes in terms of gadgets, but it gives you exactly what you need in daily life.
Price and Competition
The 2025 Bajaj CT 150 is expected to be priced around ₹80,000 to ₹90,000 (ex-showroom). That positions it neatly between entry-level commuters and premium 150cc bikes.
In terms of rivals, it faces competition from the Hero Glamour Xtec, Honda Unicorn, and TVS Radeon (in the higher trims). On the flip side, while some of these offer flashier styling, the CT 150 plays its own game—it focuses on ruggedness, practicality, and affordability.
Final Thoughts: A Bigger Heart for a Trusted Name
So, does the Bajaj CT 150 (2025) make sense? Honestly, yes. It’s the natural next step for the CT series. Riders who loved the 100cc and 110cc versions but always wished for more power now have a perfect option.
It still carries everything that made the CT popular—rugged build, great mileage, everyday comfort—but with extra muscle to make longer rides less stressful. To be fair, it won’t excite thrill-seekers who want a sporty 150cc experience, but that’s not what it’s built for.
At the end of the day, the CT 150 is for practical riders—the ones who want a reliable bike that can handle daily commutes, family duties, and even a bit of highway travel, all without demanding too much in return.
And in 2025, that’s exactly what many Indians still need. A simple, strong, fuel-efficient machine. With the CT 150, Bajaj has once again shown that practicality doesn’t have to be boring.
