Freedom to Save on Fuel: The Bajaj Freedom CNG motorcycle provides approximately 50% cost savings by significantly reducing fuel expenses compared to similar petrol motorcycles. Its CNG tank offers a range of over 200 km with just 2 kg of CNG fuel. Additionally, it features a 2-liter petrol tank as a range extender, offering more than 130 km of range when the CNG tank is empty, ensuring an uninterrupted journey.
Freedom to Go Green: CNG combustion produces about 26.7% less CO2 emissions than petrol, contributing to climate change mitigation. Moreover, CNG vehicles emit 85% lower non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) and 43% less nitrogen oxide (NOx).
Comfort, Safety, and Convenience Features: The Bajaj Freedom CNG Motorcycle features an integrated CNG tank and kit securely housed in a trellis frame, ensuring safety through rigorous testing. A horizontally inclined engine and Link-Mono shock system optimize space and provide a stable ride. The design includes a friendly saddle height of 825mm and a narrow mid-section for easy ground contact. Despite the CNG tank, smart weight-saving measures maintain a similar center of gravity to petrol motorcycles, ensuring neutral handling and rider confidence. The mono-linked type suspension offers better wheel travel and comfort, making the motorcycle suitable for various riding conditions.
Bajaj Auto has a legacy of pioneering innovations with reliable, time-tested products that have become category definers. From introducing India’s first sports motorcycle, the Pulsar, 25 years ago and the first CNG 3-wheeler Bajaj RE around the same time, to being among the first to launch electric scooters in the country with the Chetak, Bajaj continues to lead. The Bajaj Pulsar is now exported to over 50 countries and is a market leader in more than 20 countries. In its 75-year history, Bajaj has democratized motorcycle technology, making advanced features accessible to everyone, a commitment that continues with the launch of Freedom.
