Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG: Bajaj Auto has officially announced a limited-time price cut on the Bajaj Freedom 125, India’s first CNG-powered motorcycle. The base variant, NG04 Drum, is now priced at ₹85,976 (ex-showroom), down from the original ₹90,976. This ₹5,000 discount makes the bike a more attractive option for those looking for an affordable and fuel-efficient daily commuter. However, the company has clarified that this is a temporary offer, not a permanent price reduction.
Unique Bi-Fuel System with Impressive Range
The Bajaj Freedom 125 is equipped with a 125cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that delivers 9.7 PS of power and 9.5 Nm of torque. What sets it apart is its bi-fuel system that includes a 2 kg CNG tank and a 2-litre petrol tank. This setup provides a claimed range of up to 330 km, making it ideal for long-distance daily riders. Its trellis frame keeps the CNG tank safe, while the 785 mm long seat offers extra comfort for both the rider and pillion.
Mileage and Fuel Efficiency
Fuel efficiency is where the Freedom 125 truly shines. Bajaj claims a mileage of 102 km/kg on CNG and 67 km/l on petrol. Compared to traditional 125cc petrol bikes, this results in up to 50% savings in fuel costs. For regular commuters and delivery riders, this can mean significant monthly savings.
Why Isn’t It Selling as Expected?
Despite being innovative and cost-effective, the Freedom 125 hasn’t gained massive popularity yet. This is largely due to the limited availability of CNG stations across the country and the growing preference for electric bikes. Still, as the CNG refueling infrastructure improves, the demand for this bike could rise sharply.
Final Verdict
The Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG is a smart buy for those seeking an eco-friendly, economical, and reliable commuter bike. With its current price drop and high fuel efficiency, it could easily compete with established models like the Honda Shine 125. If you live in an area with good CNG availability, this bike deserves serious consideration.
