Bajaj Freedom CNG Discount: ₹5,000 on Base Variant
Bajaj Freedom CNG Discount: Bajaj Auto slashes ₹5,000 off the base variant of the Freedom 125 CNG motorcycle, bringing the price down sharply from ₹90,976 to ₹85,976. The entry-level model with drum brakes gets an exclusive offer, while higher variants Drum LED and Disc LED remain priced at ₹95,981 and ₹110,976. Discount plans aim to revive sluggish sales, which have stalled somewhat after garnering initial success amidst much fanfare. The Freedom 125 has a 125cc air-cooled engine delivering approximately 9.3–9.7 PS of power alongside 9.7 Nm of torque. It boasts a 2kg CNG tank alongside a 2-liter petrol tank, allowing seamless fuel switching via a handlebar-mounted control. Claimed efficiency stands at 102 km per kg on CNG and 65 km per liter on petrol, with a combined range of approximately 330 km. Key differences among variants entail disparate lighting rigs, braking configurations, and instrument cluster setups. The base model comes equipped with halogen headlights and drum brakes, while LED versions feature advanced lighting and disc brakes. The top-of-the-line model includes a Bluetooth-enabled digital console. Bajaj expects the price reduction and burgeoning CNG infrastructure across major markets to boost sales nationwide.
