Bajaj has unveiled its much awaited new CNG motorcycle, Bajaj Freedom 125. As we reported on Thursday, the pricing of the bike has been kept competitive starting at Rs 95,000 ex-showroom. The bike was unveiled by Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, and there are three versions of this bike while the top-end is priced at Rs 1.10 lakh. 

 

The Freedom 125 has a 125cc engine and a 2 kg CNG tank with a total 330 km range. With CNG there is a claimed mileage of 213 km. Power comes in the form of  9.5bhp and 9.7 Nm torque.

 

The CNG tank has been kept under the seat while it has a protection layer around it. You can switch on the go with a common fuel cap cover. 

 

 

The design is characterised by a round headlamp while the features list includes bluetooth, a reverse LCD console, and more. The motorcycle aims to reduce costs for the buyer when in comparison to other motorcycles like the Hero Splendor and Honda Shine plus other commuter bikes.

 

There is no competition for this motorcycle as this is the first CNG motorcycle even in the world. We have seen CNG cars till now but this is something new and brings in lower costs when compared to other motorcycles to the tune of 50 per cent.
