Kawasaki CT100

The Kawasaki CT100, being a commuter bike, tries to serve graphics and styling which are more basic and on the classic side. The bike is quite small and compact, and with its curvaceous looks, appears very classy and reflects its powerful functioning. The multi-reflector headlamps, being very efficient, give the front part a very proportionate look.

The square headlights and a stand-off turn signal serve the bike’s simplicity and give it the perfect elegance of the commuter section. The chrome works on the engine, exhaust pipe, and the front suspension add to the classiness and match the contrast of the bike’s colours. The CT100 does not attempt to offer any sportiness with its looks, but still rocks the city streets with its basic qualities.

The Kawasaki CT100, a commuter bike on the block, does provide quite a controlled riding experience for the user and offers them with a very stable handling. It takes care of the rider’s handling and riding experiences with much attention given to all its features. The ground clearance, the wheelbase, and the seat height, all add up to giving the rider a very controlled grip over the bike.

The rear Coaxial adjustable shock absorbers and the dual coil springs offer a very stable ride on the most difficult roads with increased stroke length. The CT100 is a very small, lightweight, and compact bike, something that is easy to take on busy traffic or alleys.

The power plant of the Kawasaki CT100 is a 99.27cc four-stroke, four-valve SOHC engine, which enables the bike to be as much fuel efficient and decently power at the same time. To be precise, the bike generates a maximum power of 8.08 hp at 7,500 rpm and generates a peak torque of 8.05 Nm at 5,500 rpm. This packs a good deal of power in a commuter bike, for all its requirements on all kinds of roads.

The transmission on the CT100 is served by a 4-speed constant mesh gear assembly, which provides a very smooth shift through the gears at all speeds and riding conditions. However, from a commuter perspective, the riders expect a gear assembly for more convenience and control on the shifting ratios.

The Kawasaki CT100, being very efficient with power delivery and smooth at the transmission, also possesses a decent stopping power. For the safety of the rider, the bike does not offer very much but does come with a very worthy set of brakes, which have a decent enough bite if applied at the same time.

At great speeds, on wet roads and on uneven roads, the riders safety is assured with the help of 110 mm front and rear drum brakes. The CT100 offers a good grip with its tyres over all kinds of roads to prevent accidents and give the riders a complete control of the bike’s momentum in unfortunate situations.

The Kawasaki CT100 is a commuter bike from the brand which has produced a great example in every parameter among bikes. This particular model and its performance have made a name for the CT series in the country. The bike lacks a few important features, which a lot of riders would expect, like the addition of disc brakes at least for the front.
