Is the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum really as fuel efficient as it claims to be, saving you 50% on fuel costs, or is it mere marketing gimmick?

If it's only 30%, that's huge for daily commuters, but the 50% saving is probably the best case scenario. We're talking some serious money over a year.

It's clever marketing for sure. They’re not taking into account the higher initial cost of the bike, or the hassle of locating CNG stations. Not everyone is able to get the math to add up.

It depends on where you live and how you use the bike, I think. If you live in a city with good CNG infrastructure and you ride a lot, you could see those kinds of savings. But it's not one-size-fits-all.

The real question is how many years does it take to pay off the extra cost of the bike with fuel savings? Is it really worth it if it takes 5 years?

Don't forget about maintenance costs. This bike has two, not one, fuel systems. That's potentially double the things that can go wrong.

It's not 50%, but the savings are real. In most places, CNG is much cheaper than petrol. And you are future proofing against rising petrol prices.

I’m more interested by the environmental savings. That’s a win, even if it’s not quite as cost effective as advertised.

If you live in a city with good CNG infrastructure, then it’s a game changer. You're doing something good for the environment and you're saving fuel like crazy.

Practical? In theory, perhaps, but have you seen how few CNG stations there are? And you'd spend half your life planning routes around fuel stops.

It seems brilliant for delivery guys or anyone who rides the same fixed route every day. This way they can save a ton of money in the long run, and plan their refueling.

The dual fuel system is pretty clever actually. If you run out of CNG, you can always use petrol. You sort of have a built in backup plan.

To be honest, it's a hassle. The tank takes up space, it takes longer to fill up, and you’re always worrying about running out of CNG. I'll stick with petrol, thanks.

It has nothing to do with practicality, it's about being an early adopter. New tech has to be paved by someone, and this bike is that someone.

Apparently, the power delivery is inconsistent when switching between fuels. Just that alone would make me crazy on a daily commute.
Is the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum a future classic or just plain weird because of its unique design?
29 January 2025 09:19
Well it’s definitely unique, that’s for sure. Twenty years from now, we might think of this as the bike that launched the CNG revolution. Could be a collector's item!

Future classic? More like future garage ornament. Apparently, they built it by committee, and the committee was probably drunk.

I actually like it. There's something retro futuristic to it. It's not trying to be a sports bike or a cruiser, it’s its own thing.

It’s more functional than anything. This is what they had to fit a CNG tank somewhere. It’s form following function, I guess, which has its own charm.

We don't know if it'll be a classic yet, but it's definitely memorable. That counts for something in a sea of lookalike commuters.

It looks like a bike from a low budget sci fi movie and not in a good way I think. At least it's not boring though.
