Is the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum a future classic or just plain weird because of its unique design?

It has a pretty cool exposed frame, which makes it look raw, mechanical. That headlight though, they couldn’t decide on a shape so they just threw all of them on.

Are you kidding? Safety should come first! With those narrow tires you have less contact with the road. I wouldn't ride that in the rain or take sharp turns.

It's all about context. The skinny tires are good for commuting in city and straight roads. If you're looking to do any spirited riding, or long trips, you might want to look elsewhere.

I think people are overreacting. There are plenty of scooters with skinny tires, and they do just fine. You're not racing this thing on a track now, are you?

The tires are a definite compromise, but so is the whole idea of a CNG bike. If you're buying this, economy matters to you more than anything else.

I was more worried about getting replacement tires. Given such an unusual size, you might be pretty limited in what you can do when it’s time to change them.

Let’s be honest, if someone is purchasing this bike, it ain’t for performance. All it is about is those sweet, sweet miles. It’s just part of the package with skinny tires.
How does the Freedom 125 NG04 Disc’s instrument cluster measure up to modern standards?
29 January 2025 09:14
In truth, the Freedom 125’s instrument cluster is pretty basic. It works, but it’s 2025, and I at least expected a partial digital display. It has a clear analog speedometer, but it’s old fashioned compared to some competitors.

29 January 2025 09:14
The Freedom's cluster is actually what I prefer, for its simplicity. The most important thing to remember when you’re riding is that it’s easy to read at a glance. Not everyone needs or wants a fancy digital display that’s hard to read in bright sunlight.

You're both missing the point. The real issue is that Bajaj could have added some useful features without going full digital. A nice middle ground would have been a simple LCD for the odometer and trip meter.

As a daily rider, the Freedom’s cluster is perfectly fine. You can see speed, fuel level and basic indicator lights. How much more do you really need on a commuter bike? For more premium models, save the fancy displays.

Here, I think Bajaj missed an opportunity. It could even have had a basic digital display with things like a clock, real time mileage indicator or service reminder. Daily riders will find them useful and they won't cost too much.

The biggest drawback I’ve found is the lack of gear position indicator. It’s a small thing, but it’s really useful, especially for newer riders. Bajaj could have easily added this without going overboard on tech.
Is the extra cash spent on Bajaj Discover 125T Disc worth it, as compared to the drum brake version?

Braking power is not all that it's about. It makes the disc look way cooler, and might even help with resale value down the line. If you are going to sell in a few years, worth considering.
