2020 · Scooter
The 2020 Lifan CT-Ray enters the scooter market as a practical and accessible option for urban commuters. This model continues Lifan's tradition of producing budget-friendly two-wheelers, offering a no-frills approach to daily transportation. In its segment, the CT-Ray faces competition from established players like the Honda PCX 125 and the Yamaha NMAX 125, aiming to carve out its niche through affordability and straightforward functionality.
At the heart of the CT-Ray is a single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124.6 ccm (7.60 cubic inches). This powertrain produces 8.7 HP (6.4 kW) at 7500 RPM, accompanied by a torque output of 8.5 Nm (0.9 kgf-m or 6.3 ft.lbs) at 6500 RPM. These figures contribute to a top speed of 88.0 km/h (54.7 mph), making it suitable for navigating city traffic and shorter suburban journeys. The fuel tank capacity is 6.00 litres (1.59 US gallons), providing adequate range for daily commuting needs.
Weighing in at 115.0 kg (253.5 pounds), the CT-Ray is a relatively light and manageable scooter. The low seat height of 730 mm (28.7 inches), likely its lowest adjustable setting, ensures easy ground reach for most riders, enhancing confidence at stops and in slow-speed maneuvers. Its scooter category design typically provides an upright riding posture, offering a comfortable and unencumbered experience ideal for stop-and-go urban environments. The step-through frame further contributes to ease of mounting and dismounting.
The Lifan CT-Ray 2020 is primarily aimed at new riders, budget-conscious commuters, and those seeking a reliable and economical mode of transport for short-distance travel. Its modest power output and approachable ergonomics make it a sensible choice for navigating congested cityscapes. For riders prioritizing cost-effectiveness and ease of use over outright performance or premium features, the CT-Ray presents a compelling argument within the bustling scooter segment.
