Bajaj Freedom 125

The Bajaj Freedom 125 is priced between Rs 95,000 - Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom) and is available in three variants.

In our tests, the bike returned 94km/kg in the city and 126km/kg on the highway. Meanwhile, the fuel efficiency when running on petrol was predictably a lot lower at 53.4kpl in the city and 62.37kpl on the highway.

The Bajaj Freedom is the world’s first purpose-built CNG motorcycle, which can run on both gas and petrol. It has a 2kg CNG cylinder under the seat and a 2 litre auxiliary petrol tank.

The Bajaj Freedom is a little slower when running on CNG, compared to petrol but it's not a deal breaker. You may have to work the gearbox a little more if you’re climbing up a slope with a pillion/luggage onboard.
