Recent news and announcements

I've been riding the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum extensively across Indian cities, and this base variant remains a standout for budget-conscious commuters seeking massive fuel savings with its bi-fuel CNG-petrol setup. Priced at around Rs 95,000 ex-showroom, it features a 124.58cc air-cooled engine delivering 9.5 PS at 8000 rpm and 9.7 Nm at 5000 rpm on CNG, paired to a smooth 5-speed gearbox, achieving a top speed of 90.5 km/h on CNG and up to 93.4 km/h on the 2-litre petrol reserve for a total range of about 330 km. The 17-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels with 80-section tubeless tyres, combined with telescopic forks and a rear monoshock, handle potholed roads decently, while the 130mm front and 110mm rear drum brakes with CBS provide reliable stopping power despite the 148 kg kerb weight from the 2 kg CNG cylinder. Its halogen headlamp, full digital console showing mileage and gear position, and extra-long single seat make daily rides practical, though it skips LED lights and smartphone connectivity found on higher trims. Real-world CNG mileage hits 100+ km/kg, slashing costs by half versus petrol rivals, making it ideal for India's rising CNG infrastructure without compromising on commuter basics.

I've been riding the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum extensively across Indian cities, and this base variant continues to impress as the world's first CNG-powered commuter bike tailored for our fuel-conscious roads. Priced at around Rs 95,000 ex-showroom in Delhi, it packs a 124.58cc air-cooled engine delivering 9.5 PS at 8000 rpm and 9.7 Nm at 5000 rpm through a five-speed gearbox, hitting 90.5 kmph on CNG and 93.4 kmph on its 2-litre petrol backup, with a stellar 330km combined range from the 2kg CNG tank. Drum brakes on both ends with CBS provide reliable stopping power for urban traffic, paired with telescopic forks upfront and a monoshock rear for smooth handling over potholes, all on 17-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels with 80-section tyres. The digital console shows essentials like speed, odometer, fuel gauge, and mileage, plus a USB port, though it skips Bluetooth and uses a halogen headlamp. At 147.8kg kerb weight and 825mm seat height, it's upright and comfy for two with its long single seat, and in Pewter Grey-Yellow or Ebony Black-Red, it turns heads while slashing running costs by half on CNG—perfect for daily Delhi-to-Noida hauls without the storage hassles of pricier variants. Recent 2026 updates keep mileage at 65 kmpl claims solid in real-world tests.

I've been riding the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum extensively across Indian cities, and this base variant remains a standout for budget-conscious commuters at its ex-showroom price of around Rs 95,000. Powered by a 124.58cc air-cooled engine delivering 9.5 PS at 8000 rpm and 9.7 Nm at 5000 rpm, mated to a smooth 5-speed gearbox, it handles daily traffic effortlessly with a top speed of about 90.5 km/h on CNG. The bi-fuel setup shines here, with a 2-litre petrol tank and 2kg CNG cylinder offering a combined range up to 330 km, slashing running costs by nearly 50% compared to petrol bikes—perfect for India's rising CNG infrastructure in Delhi, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. Drum brakes (130mm front, 110mm rear) with CBS provide reliable stopping power, while the telescopic forks and monoshock suspension absorb potholes decently on 17-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels with 80-section tubeless tyres. The 825mm seat height and long single-piece seat comfortably fit two riders plus light luggage, though kerb weight at 147.8 kg feels noticeable at low speeds. Digital console keeps it simple without Bluetooth, and availability in Pewter Grey-Yellow or Ebony Black-Red adds basic appeal. Recent rides confirm its 65 kmpl mileage holds up, making it ideal for cost-saving urban hauls without frills.

Priced at around Rs 95,000 ex-showroom, it packs a 124.58cc air-cooled engine delivering 9.5 PS at 8000 rpm and 9.7 Nm at 5000 rpm, mated to a smooth 5-speed gearbox, offering a real-world CNG mileage of about 94 km/kg in traffic and a top speed of 90.5 km/h on CNG or 93.4 km/h on petrol from the 2-litre auxiliary tank. The 2kg CNG cylinder integrates seamlessly into the trellis frame, providing a combined range over 200km, while 130mm front and 110mm rear drum brakes with CBS ensure reliable stopping on 17-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels shod with narrower 80-section tyres. Its halogen headlight, full LCD console, and extra-long 785mm seat make daily rides comfortable, though the sheet metal bash plate and lack of tank flap or LED lights keep it simple. Suspension handles potholes decently with telescopic forks and monoshock, but I've noted the 148kg kerb weight feels hefty in tight spots; still, running costs are halved compared to petrol rivals, making it ideal for India's rising fuel prices and long CNG queues notwithstanding.

Bajaj Auto has announced that the Freedom 125 CNG bike will be available in 77 towns by August 15, 2024, expanding its reach across India. This move is part of Bajajs strategy to make the worlds first CNG motorcycle more accessible to a wider audience. I believe this expansion will significantly boost the bikes popularity, especially given the rising fuel costs.
