Kawasaki CT150

The Kawasaki CT150, manufactured under a partnership with Bajaj Auto, is engineered from the ground up to be a true utility champion. It elevates the CT platform by jumping from the standard $100\text{cc}$ to a robust $150\text{cc}$ engine, delivering a significant boost in torque and horsepower. This extra power is crucial for operating a passenger tricycle or hauling heavy cargo across varied Philippine terrain. Features like the standard Electric Start and a modern instrument cluster with a USB charging port further enhance its appeal as a modern workhorse.

Key Features of the Kawasaki CT150

1. High-Power $150\text{cc}$ Engine: Provides superior acceleration and pulling power (torque) compared to its $100\text{cc}$ or $125\text{cc}$ rivals, essential for climbing steep roads while loaded.
2. Tricycle-Ready Frame: Built with a reinforced chassis from the factory, the CT150 requires no additional modification for sidecar mounting, making it the safest and easiest choice for tricycle operations.
3. 5-Speed Transmission: The extra gear provides better flexibility and fuel efficiency at highway speeds and improved climbing ability in low gears.
4. Modern Convenience: Upgraded instrument panel features a Gear Position Indicator and a handy USB Charging Port for all-day connectivity on the road.

Kawasaki CT150 Price in the Philippines

The official suggested retail price (MSRP) for the Kawasaki CT150 in the Philippines is ₱67,500. While slightly higher than the $125\text{cc}$ alternatives, its price point remains highly competitive when considering the increased engine displacement, extra power, and specialized utility features it offers to commercial users.

Why Choose the Kawasaki CT150?

Choose the CT150 if your priority is power and commercial readiness. The robust engine and tricycle-ready frame make it a far superior choice over smaller displacement utility bikes, especially in provinces with challenging topography or where heavy cargo is a daily requirement. Its 5-speed transmission and modern convenience features also make long hauls more comfortable and efficient.

Pros & Cons of the Kawasaki CT150

Good Alternative in the Philippines

For those comparing utility bikes in the Philippines, the Kawasaki CT150’s main competitor is:

• Honda TMX Supremo: Known for its large $150\text{cc}$ engine, slightly higher premium price, and strong reputation for being a heavy-duty commuter. It often comes with a more modern aesthetic than the CT series.
• Kawasaki CT125: A cheaper alternative that still provides an upgrade from the CT100, offering a middle ground between power and extreme fuel economy.
