Bajaj has officially announced the name of its much-anticipated CNG motorcycle: the Bajaj Freedom. The company released a teaser video on its social media platforms, revealing that the bike will be launched today. Here’s a quick recap of everything we know so far about this upcoming commuter motorcycle.
From various spy shots, teasers, and blueprints, it’s clear that the Freedom 125 is designed as a commuter motorcycle with slim proportions. The engine capacity is expected to be 125cc or less, making it suitable for daily commuting.
There could be multiple variants of the Freedom 125, as evidenced by two different test bikes spotted. One version features simpler bodywork typical of commuter bikes, while the other boasts a more rugged appearance with a braced handlebar, handle guards, and a bash plate. This suggests that company might offer two variants at different price points.
Features and Specifications
The standout feature of the Bajaj Freedom is its dual-fuel capability, running on both petrol and CNG. The company has teased a switch on the bike that allows riders to toggle between petrol and CNG. Leaked blueprints have shown that the bike will have a conventional fuel tank, with a CNG cylinder mounted beneath it. The cylinder will be secured by semicircular braces welded to the main frame.
In terms of hardware, the Freedom will come equipped with telescopic front forks and a monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are expected to be handled by a front disc brake and a rear drum brake. However, the more affordable version might feature drum brakes on both ends.
Pricing and Launch Details
Bajaj Freedom is anticipated to be priced between Rs. 90,000 and Rs. 95,000, depending on the variant. With its launch set for today, enthusiasts and potential buyers won’t have to wait long to get more details. Stay tuned to BikeWale for the latest updates and comprehensive coverage of the official launch.
In conclusion, the Freedom 125 is poised to be a versatile and practical option for commuters, offering the flexibility of petrol and CNG fuel options. With its imminent launch, it’s set to make a significant impact in the commuter motorcycle segment.
