India launches world's first CNG bike, Bajaj Freedom

Bajaj Auto has recently significantly impacted the commuter motorcycle industry by launching its highly anticipated CNG-powered motorcycle, the Freedom 125.

The groundbreaking model proudly holds the distinction of being the world's very first CNG motorcycle.

The bike has three variants: Drum, Drum LED, and Disc LED.

Customers can choose from seven dual-color options tailored to their personal preferences.

The model has three variants: Disc LED, Drum LED, and Drum. The base model of this product is available at a starting price of Rs 95,000, while the top variant is priced at Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom).

In terms of pricing, the mid-range and top-end models will be priced at Rs 1.05 lakh and Rs 1.10 lakh, respectively.

The Bajaj Freedom has a 2-liter CNG cylinder and a 2-liter fuel tank, resulting in an impressive overall mileage of 330 km on a single top-up.

According to reports, the latest offering boasts a meager travel cost of Rs 1 per km.

The motorcycle can easily switch between petrol and CNG modes with a simple switch. An interesting aspect is the combined filler cap for both fuels, enabling convenient refueling without any trouble.

Per the company's statement, the bike can cover a distance of 102 km per kilogram of CNG.

By running on CNG, this motorcycle has the potential to cut daily expenses in half and save owners up to Rs 75,000 in fuel costs over five years when compared to a 125 cc petrol motorcycle.

The motorcycle has telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock unit at the rear, providing excellent hardware and features.

The highest-level model has a front disc brake and a rear drum brake, ensuring optimal braking performance.

The bike also features a sleek LCD instrument cluster that offers Bluetooth connectivity, adding to its overall functionality.
