Bajaj Freedom CNG bike quick review
Bajaj Freedom 125
Quick review
14 Jul '24
•
The Freedom 125 is a breath of fresh air in the stagnant commuter class that also happens to be delightfully affordable to run.

In our tests, it returned 94km/kg in the city and 126km/kg on the highway. The petrol numbers were predictably lower at 53.4kpl (city) and 62.37kpl (highway).

CNG pumps dispense different amounts of gas depending on pressure and ambient temperature, which means results may vary.

Only commuter to use a trellis frame, weighs 149kg, which is on the higher side. Feels normal to ride despite the bifuel setup.

Nothing on the road looks like the Freedom 125 and never has such a new design already become so recognizable.

•
Suspension isn’t as cushy as a normal commuter, which is a miss here. Engine isn’t the most exciting in the class either.

The Freedom's top variant will be delivered to customers first with the other two following shortly after. It will hit showrooms in Maharashtra and Gujarat first before other states gradually get it.

Verdict
The Bajaj Freedom has a few compromises but they aren’t enough to offset the sheer cost effectiveness of the bike.
