Bajaj has launched the Freedom 125, the world’s first CNG two-wheeler, in India. The CNG bike is priced between Rs 95,000 and Rs 1.10 lakh (both ex-showroom) and is available in three variants.Carribean Blue, Pewter Grey/Black, Cyber White, Ebony Black/Grey, Racing Red, Cyber White, Pewter Grey/Yellow, and Ebony Black/Red are the seven color options available.
Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj said it was a transformative day, reflecting on their pioneering journey that began 25 years ago with India’s first CNG three-wheeler.

The Bajaj Freedom 125  is equipped with a 125cc single-cylinder engine that is capable of operating on both petrol and CNG. The CNG canister is conveniently situated beneath the seat. The engine generates a maximal torque of 9.7 Nm and 9.5 PS. A five-speed gearbox is responsible for transmission functions. Additional features include a linked monoshock, a robust trellis structure, and contemporary styling.

Bajaj Freedom 125: Key Points of the World's First CNG Motorcycle

  1. Dual-Fuel Technology: The motorcycle is equipped with a CNG tank and a petrol tank, which enables motorcyclists to alternate between the two fuel types by means of a toggle switch.
  2. Design: The bike is equipped with a long seat and a round LED headlamp, which guarantees a modern and comfortable riding experience.
  3. Gasoline Cost Savings: Bajaj Auto asserts that the Freedom 125 will result in a 50% reduction in gasoline costs, which is a substantial savings in the face of inflation and increasing fuel prices.
  4. Performance: The motorcycle is anticipated to compete with other 125cc motorcycles in terms of combustion performance, given its 125cc engine. The performance of the cycle will be comparable to that of a 100cc or 110cc model when using compressed natural gas (CNG), but it will have impressive fuel efficiency.

The Freedom 125: A First Look

The Freedom 125 was unveiled at the highly anticipated launch event in Pune, where it was given a name that symbolizes India’s transition to renewable fuel alternatives. The motorcycle is designed to meet the needs of the prevalent commuter segment in India, featuring a 125cc engine. One of the most noteworthy attributes is the ingenious placement of a 2 kg CNG tank beneath the seat to ensure optimal weight distribution. A conventional 2-liter petrol tank is situated above the CNG tank, providing passengers with the freedom to select their preferred fuel.

There are three versions of the Bajaj Freedom 125: the Freedom 125 Drum, the Freedom 125 Drum LED, and the Freedom 125 Disc LED. The base variant is equipped with a drum brake on both wheels, while the higher-end models are equipped with a disc brake in the front to improve stopping force. The Drum LED and Disc LED variants are equipped with an LED headlamp, which enhances visibility during the night.
