🏙️ City Dwellers with CNG Access
Living in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad with CNG stations within 5km radius. 200km CNG range perfect for daily city commute. The 2L petrol backup ensures you reach home even if CNG runs out. Ideal for intra-city travel!
🌿 Eco-Conscious Riders
Want to reduce carbon footprint and pollution! CNG produces 80% fewer toxic emissions and 25% lower carbon vs petrol. Perfect for environmentally responsible individuals who prioritize sustainability. Be part of the green mobility revolution!
🚗 Multi-Vehicle Households
Already have CNG car at home? Same fuel stations work for bike! Families with CNG infrastructure knowledge find Freedom 125 convenient. Understand CNG refueling process, know nearby stations, comfortable with dual-fuel systems. Natural fit!
💼 Office Commuters (Fixed Route)
Daily 15-40km office commute with predictable route and CNG station on the way. Park bike during work hours, refuel during evening return. Save massively on monthly fuel costs. Perfect for salaried professionals seeking lowest running cost!
🔬 Early Adopters & Tech Enthusiasts
Love being first to try innovative technology! World’s first CNG motorcycle is historic. Want bragging rights and supporting revolutionary Indian innovation. Understand that pioneering tech comes with learning curve. Willing to be part of CNG mobility evolution!
🏢 Delivery & Gig Economy Riders
Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon, Flipkart delivery partners covering 80-150km daily in city limits. Fuel cost is major expense. Freedom 125’s 50% savings = significant income boost. CNG stations strategically located in delivery zones. Multiple refills daily still cheaper than petrol!
📚 College Students (Budget-Conscious)
Daily college commute 10-30km with tight pocket money. Parents appreciate lowest running cost bike. CNG stations near college campuses in most cities. 200km range = week-long college trips on single fill. Fuel savings fund weekend outings!
🚕 Ex-CNG Auto/Taxi Drivers
Previously drove CNG auto-rickshaw or taxi, now need personal bike. Extremely familiar with CNG stations, refueling process, maintenance. Understand CNG advantages firsthand. Trust Bajaj quality. Natural transition to CNG motorcycle!
🎯 Low Daily Mileage Riders
Cover 15-30km daily for groceries, errands, short trips. Don’t need 500-800km petrol bike range. 200km CNG lasts 6-7 days easily. Weekly CNG refilling routine convenient. Petrol backup rarely needed. Perfect usage pattern for CNG bike!
⚠️ THINK TWICE IF:
🏞️ Rural/Small Town Riders
No CNG stations in your area or nearest station 20+ km away! CNG availability crucial for Freedom 125. Without CNG access, you’re stuck with 2L petrol (130km range) which defeats the purpose. Check CNG station locations before buying!
Alternative: Honda Shine, Hero Splendor+ for reliable petrol bikes.
🛣️ Long-Distance Touring Riders
Plan 300+ km daily rides or inter-city touring? 200km CNG range + 130km petrol (330km total) requires frequent stops. CNG stations only on major highways. Petrol bikes with 10-12L tanks offer 600-800km uninterrupted range. Touring impractical!
Alternative: Bajaj Pulsar 150/160, Hero Xtreme 160R for touring.
⚡ Performance Enthusiasts
Want maximum power and speed? 9.5PS vs 10.7-11.8PS rivals. 90.5 km/h CNG top speed vs 100+ km/h petrol bikes. 8.28s CNG 0-60 vs 6-7s sports 125cc. 149kg weight vs 120-140kg competitors. If performance matters more than savings, choose petrol!
Alternative: TVS Raider 125, Bajaj Pulsar 125 for performance.
🏔️ Highway/Expressway Commuters
Daily 50-80km highway commute at 80-100 km/h? Freedom 125’s 90.5 km/h CNG top speed feels underpowered on expressways. 149kg weight + lower power = slow overtaking. Petrol mode better (93.4 km/h) but defeats CNG savings purpose. Highway use suboptimal!
Alternative: 150-160cc bikes for highway confidence.
⏰ Time-Pressed Commuters
Always in rush with no time for CNG stations? CNG refueling takes 3-5 minutes vs 1-2 minutes petrol. CNG station queues common during peak hours. If convenience and speed matter more than savings, petrol’s instant refueling wins. Time is money!
Alternative: Any petrol 125cc for convenience.
🎒 Low Mileage Riders (<1000km/month)
Ride only 20-30km monthly for occasional use? ₹10-20K premium takes 3-5 years to recover with minimal usage. Fuel savings negligible (₹200-300/month). Better to buy cheaper petrol bike. ROI makes sense only above 40-50km daily riding!
Alternative: Hero Splendor Plus, Honda Shine for occasional use.
🔧 Maintenance-Averse Buyers
Want zero-hassle ownership? CNG system is new technology with unknown long-term reliability. Specialized CNG mechanics limited vs widespread petrol bike service. Potential CNG-specific issues need expert diagnosis. If you prefer proven, simple technology, wait for CNG to mature!
Alternative: Proven petrol bikes with established service networks.
💵 Resale Value Focused
Plan to sell within 2-3 years? CNG bike resale market uncertain as technology is new. Buyers may hesitate due to CNG complexity. Petrol bikes have established resale values. If resale matters more than operational savings, CNG gamble risky. Long-term ownership essential!
Alternative: Honda/Hero bikes for best resale values.
🏍️ Brand-Conscious Buyers
Want premium brand perception? Bajaj is value brand, not premium like Honda/Yamaha. CNG association with auto-rickshaws may deter badge-conscious buyers. If brand image matters more than savings, Japanese manufacturers offer better prestige. Peer perception consideration!
Alternative: Honda Shine 125, Yamaha FZ for brand value.
❄️ Extreme Weather Riders
Ride in hill stations with sub-zero temperatures? CNG performance affected by extreme cold. CNG vaporization issues in freezing conditions. Petrol works reliably at all temperatures. If you ride in Ladakh, Himachal, Kashmir winters, CNG complications avoidable with petrol!
Alternative: Petrol bikes for extreme weather reliability.

💬 Final Word
The Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG is a REVOLUTIONARY MOTORCYCLE that literally makes history as the world’s first CNG bike. This isn’t just another commuter – it’s a game-changer that challenges 100+ years of petrol-only motorcycling. For riders with CNG station access who cover 30-50km daily, the 50% fuel cost savings (₹87 vs ₹150-208 per 100km) translate to ₹2,000-3,000 monthly savings, recovering the ₹10-20K premium within 12-18 months.
The dual-fuel system is brilliantly executed – 2kg CNG tank provides 200+ km primary range with seamless switch-on-the-go to 2L petrol backup (130km), ensuring you’re never stranded. Real-world CNG mileage of 85 km/kg is excellent, though below claimed 102. The 80% lower emissions make it the cleanest 125cc bike, perfect for eco-conscious riders. At ₹1,00,000, the Drum LED variant is the sweet spot with LED headlamp, 130mm rear drum, and best value proposition.
However, this bike has clear limitations. The 9.5PS power (vs 10.7-11.8PS rivals) and 90.5 km/h CNG top speed mean it’s not for performance seekers. Most critically, CNG availability is limited to major cities – without nearby CNG stations (within 5km), this bike loses its entire purpose. The 200km CNG range requires frequent refills vs 600-800km petrol bikes, making long touring impractical. 149kg weight and small 2L petrol backup are compromises too.
Verdict: The Freedom 125 CNG is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for city commuters with CNG access who prioritize fuel savings and environmental responsibility over maximum performance. It’s PERFECT for delivery riders, office commuters, students, and cost-conscious families covering 1,500+ km monthly in CNG-equipped cities. The innovation is real, the savings are substantial, and you’re supporting India’s move toward sustainable mobility. However, avoid it if you live in rural areas, need touring capability, want maximum power, or lack convenient CNG stations. This is a specialized commuter for the right use case – and for those buyers, it’s absolutely brilliant!
🏆 RECOMMENDATION: RECOMMENDED (For CNG City Riders)!
World’s first CNG bike! Save 50% on fuel! Go for Drum LED (₹1L) for best value or Disc LED (₹1.10L) for premium!
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the price of Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG?
The Freedom 125 CNG is priced at ₹89,997 (NG04 Drum), ₹1,00,000 (NG04 Drum LED), and ₹1,09,997 (NG04 Disc LED) ex-showroom Delhi. On-road prices vary by state based on RTO charges and insurance.
Q2: What is the mileage of Freedom 125 CNG?
Claimed CNG mileage is 102 km/kg, real-world CNG mileage is 85 km/kg. Petrol mode: 65 kmpl claimed, 55-56 kmpl real-world. Combined mode (80% CNG, 20% petrol) delivers approximately 90-95 km/kg equivalent.
Q3: How much can I save with CNG?
Running cost: ₹87 per 100km (CNG mode) vs ₹150-208 petrol bikes. For 50km daily (1,500km monthly): CNG costs ₹1,305/month vs ₹2,250-3,120 petrol. Monthly savings: ₹945-1,815 (₹11,340-21,780 annually). 50% savings!
Q4: What is the CNG tank capacity and range?
2kg CNG tank capacity provides 200+ km range (claimed), 170-180 km real-world. Additional 2L petrol tank gives 130 km backup. Total combined range: 330 km (300 km real-world). Enough for week-long city commuting!
Q5: How does the dual-fuel system work?

CNG refueling takes 3-5 minutes vs 1-2 minutes for petrol. Process: Remove cap, connect CNG nozzle, fill 2kg (auto-stops when full), disconnect nozzle, replace cap. Slightly slower than petrol but still convenient for daily use.
Q9: What is the power and torque output?
9.5 PS @ 8000 rpm and 9.7 Nm @ 5000 rpm on both CNG and petrol modes. 125cc air-cooled, horizontally inclined single-cylinder engine with 5-speed manual transmission. Power adequate for city commuting, not for aggressive riding.
Q10: What is the performance difference between CNG and petrol modes?
Petrol mode: 0-60 km/h in 7.85s, top speed 93.4 km/h. CNG mode: 0-60 km/h in 8.28s, top speed 90.5 km/h. CNG slightly slower (0.43s, 2.9 km/h difference) but difference negligible for city riding. Both modes adequate performance!
Q11: Which variant should I buy?
Drum (₹90K): Budget buyers, bulb headlamp. Drum LED (₹1L): BEST VALUE with LED headlamp, 130mm rear drum, more colors. Disc LED (₹1.10L): Premium with 240mm disc, Bluetooth, USB, full LCD. Recommend Drum LED for most buyers!
Q12: Is Freedom 125 suitable for daily commuting?
YES! Perfect for 15-50km daily city commute with CNG station access. 200km CNG range = 4-5 days commuting on single fill. Longest quilted seat (785mm/670mm) comfortable. 149kg manageable weight. Mono-linked suspension handles bad roads. Ideal daily commuter!
Q13: Can I use it for long touring?
NOT IDEAL. 200km CNG + 130km petrol (330km total) requires frequent refills. CNG stations only on major highways. Petrol bikes with 600-800km range better for touring. Use Freedom 125 for city commuting and occasional 150-200km day trips, not multi-day tours.
Q14: What if CNG runs out mid-ride?
No problem! Bike automatically switches to 2L petrol backup (130km range). Console shows “Petrol Mode” indication. Seamless transition with no engine stalling. Petrol backup ensures you reach home/nearest CNG station. Dual-fuel flexibility eliminates stranded risk!
Q15: What are the eco-friendly benefits?
CNG produces 80% fewer toxic emissions (CO, NOx, particulates) vs petrol. 25% lower carbon footprint (CO2). Cleaner burning fuel = less air pollution. Sustainable mobility solution. Government-encouraged CNG use. Help reduce city pollution while saving money!
Q16: What is the seat height and ground clearance?
Seat height: 785mm total, 670mm usable – accessible for riders 5’4″ and above. Ground clearance: Not specified in brochure, estimated 165-170mm standard commuter clearance. Adequate for city speed breakers and normal Indian road conditions.
Q17: Does it have Bluetooth connectivity?
Only NG04 Disc LED variant (₹1,09,997) has Bluetooth connectivity with inverted full LCD console and smartphone integration. Drum and Drum LED variants have small LCD without connectivity. Disc LED also includes USB charging port for mobile charging.
Q18: What brakes does it have?
Drum variant: 130mm front drum + 110mm rear drum with CBS. Drum LED: 130mm front + 130mm rear drum with CBS. Disc LED: 240mm front disc + 130mm rear drum with CBS. All have Combi Braking System (CBS) for safer stopping.
Q19: What is the kerb weight?
Approximately 149 kg (estimated based on CNG tank + dual fuel system). Heavier than petrol 125cc bikes (120-140kg) due to CNG cylinder and additional fuel system components. Weight manageable for daily city riding but heavier than rivals.
Q20: How much does ROI (Return on Investment) take?
Compared to Honda Shine (₹80K): Freedom costs ₹10-30K more. At ₹2,000 monthly savings (50km daily), ROI in 5-15 months. At ₹3,000 monthly savings (80km daily), ROI in 3-10 months. Higher mileage = faster recovery!
Q21: What tyre size does it use?
Front: 80/100-16 tubeless. Rear: 120/70-18 tubeless. Different wheel sizes (16″ front, 18″ rear) for optimized handling and CNG tank packaging. Tubeless tyres offer puncture convenience and safety. Standard commuter-grade rubber.
Q22: Is maintenance expensive?
Standard Bajaj service intervals (3,000-4,000 km). Regular servicing similar to petrol bikes (₹500-800). CNG system may require periodic checks. Long-term CNG maintenance costs unknown as technology is new. Bajaj service network widespread across India.
Q23: Can I use it in hilly areas?
9.5PS power adequate for moderate hills. CNG performance may reduce slightly at high altitudes. Petrol mode works better in hills. Not ideal for extreme hill stations (Manali, Leh). Fine for cities like Pune, Shimla with moderate elevation. Flat terrain optimal!
Q24: What warranty does Bajaj offer?
Bajaj typically offers 2 years or 30,000 km warranty (whichever first) with 5 years vehicle registration warranty. CNG system likely covered under standard warranty. Extended warranty packages available. Check dealer for Freedom 125-specific warranty terms.
Q25: Is it suitable for beginners?
YES! 9.5PS manageable power, 149kg reasonable weight, 785/670mm accessible seat height. Smooth power delivery good for new riders. Dual-fuel adds complexity but handlebar switch is simple. Longer quilted seat comfortable for learning. Good first bike!
Q26: Can I carry pillion on long rides?
Yes, longest quilted seat (785mm) accommodates pillion comfortably. Mono-linked rear suspension handles two-up riding. 9.5PS adequate for pillion city riding. For long pillion rides, 149kg weight + moderate power = average but manageable. City pillion riding perfectly fine!
Q27: What is the service interval?
First service: 500-1,000 km (free). Regular service: Every 3,000-4,000 km or 3-4 months. Oil change, filter replacement, chain lubrication standard. CNG system check during services. Follow Bajaj service schedule for warranty coverage. Regular maintenance essential!
Q28: Does CNG affect engine life?
CNG actually burns cleaner than petrol, potentially INCREASING engine life! Less carbon deposits, cleaner combustion. However, long-term durability unknown as Freedom 125 is new. Bajaj claims engine designed specifically for CNG. Regular maintenance crucial for longevity!
Q29: Can I convert petrol bike to CNG?
NOT RECOMMENDED! Aftermarket CNG kits compromise safety and warranty. Freedom 125 is factory-built with integrated CNG system, tested for safety. Conversion voids warranty, risks safety, causes performance issues. Buy Freedom 125 for factory CNG reliability!
