Bajaj CT 100 ES Alloy Variant launched at INR 41,997
The CT 100 product family is Bajaj Auto’s most affordable offering currently, and the brand has introduced a slightly upmarket variant of the bike - the CT 100 ES Alloy. The variant is equipped with alloy wheels, and an electric starter for convenience. The Bajaj CT 100 ES Alloy is priced at INR 41,997, which is INR 6,816 more than the CT 100 Spoke variant (ex-showroom, Delhi).
On the mechanical front, the bike retains the 99.27 cc single cylinder air-cooled engine which puts out 8.2 bhp of power at 7,500 rpm and 8.05 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. The powerplant is paired with a 4-speed transmission and the claimed top speed stands at 90 kmph.

The suspension duties are taken care by traditional forks at the front, and dual Spring-n-spring shocks at the rear for a pliant ride. The bike uses 110 mm drum brakes on both ends. At a kerb weight of 108 kg, the alloy wheel variant is 1 kg lighter than the spoke wheeled model.
There is also a utilitarian version of the CT 100 already in the market, called the CT 100 B. This bike comes with a simpler round headlight, spoke wheels, bench-type seat and a rear carrier rack.
