Now, the CNG landscape has dramatically changed. India now boasts 6,000 CNG fuel stations across 335 cities, and this number continues to grow.

The Freedom 125 is designed for cost-conscious consumers, boasting a 50 percent reduction in fuel expenses compared to its peers. Equipped with a small petrol tank and a CNG cylinder, the motorcycle allows riders to switch between fuel types using a handlebar-mounted switch. The CNG cylinder, positioned under the petrol tank, integrates seamlessly with the bike’s design, distinguishing itself subtly from other models. The motorcycle features separate filler nozzles for CNG and petrol, catering to their distinct storage requirements. The petrol tank holds 2 liters, while the CNG tank has a capacity of 2 kg.

The introduction of the Bajaj Freedom 125 could signify influence the two wheelers market. CNG technology offers the potential to reduce fuel costs and lowers emissions, both critical factors for Indian two wheeler owners. The bike has a relatively small petrol tank capacity of just two liters, likely serving as a reserve fuel. Reports suggest the Bajaj Freedom 125 offers a mileage of 213 kilometers per kilo of CNG making it a highly efficient option for commuters.
