BAJAJ Avenger 400 Specifications

Bajaj Auto’s latest motorcycle, the Freedom, has created quite a buzz in the Indian two-wheeler industry and for good reason. It is the first mass-production CNG two-wheeler. However, Freedom competes in the 125cc segment, which already includes popular models like the Raider 125. To provide a comparison check, stay with us. Let us have a look at the features and specifications.    Designing & Aesthetics    Motorcycle design and aesthetics are subjective and vary according to individual choice and preference. However, both the Bajaj Freedom and the TVS Raider look amazing, and the bikes have captured youths of today with adults. The Freedom is distinguished by unique features such as extended single-piece seats, fork covers, and braced handlebars, which make it easily recognisable. In contrast, just as same with the Raider, its LED headlights and flat cabin make it the chosen bike.    FeaturesBajaj has manufactured the Freedom with many impressive features. The top-spec variant includes LED headlights, a full digital reverse LCD, and smartphone connectivity. You can pair your smartphone with the display and receive calls, SMS alerts, and other functions. Similarly, the TVS offers LED lighting and a digital console complete with smartphone connectivity. So, both bikes are almost identical when it comes to features.    Engine Displacement  The Bajaj Freedom is powered by a 125cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 9.3 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 9.7 Nm at 6,000 rpm, paired with a five-speed gearbox. This is unlike the Raider, which has a 124.8cc, air-cooled engine producing 7,500 hp. It produces 11.2 bhp @ 7500 rpm and 11.2 Nm @ 6000 rpm. The Raider not only delivers more power and torque than the Freedom but is able to do this at slightly lower rpm.    The main difference is in Freedom’s CNG and fuel consumption. It has a two-kilogram CNG cylinder and a two-litre fuel tank, whereas the Raider has a 10-litre fuel tank. This results in a significant difference in both the overall running costs and the range offered by these two commuters.    Hardware and Underpinnings Bajaj engineers have designed the Freedom with telescopic front forks and a monoshock. Moreover, the braking options include a front disc or drum and a rear drum setup. The bike has a 17-inch front wheel and a 16-inch rear wheel. The Raider also features a similar setup but is equipped with 17-inch wheels on both ends.    Price RangeThe top-spec variant of the Bajaj Freedom is priced at Rs. 1.10 lakh, while the amazing and powerful TVS Raider is priced at Rs. 1.03 lakhs in India. The difference in price is around Rs. 7,000. However, the overall use of the Freedom depends on the availability of CNG, while the TVS Raider relies solely on petrol. Before you leave, have a look at the Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG Bike: Detailed Feature Breakdown   Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb Instagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter     

The Bajaj Freedom 125 provides a platform for CNG-powered motorcycles, marking a milestone in eco-friendly two-wheeler technology. Initial test insights reveal promising performance.      The unique feature of the Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG motorcycle is its impressive mileage. Its fuel efficiency is 102 km/kg.With huge export ambitions, Bajaj is setting a new milestone in automobile history with the launch of the Freedom 125 in India. The Freedom 125 CNG will be remembered in history as the one that started it all—the first, the Pratham, the Primera, the firsteiro, the premiere. Here's our view of the world's first CNG motorcycle.      Bajaj Freedom 125 First Ride Review For a motorcycle like the Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG, price matters, so let’s start from there. The base variant starts from Rs 95,000 and goes up to Rs 1.10 lakh (Ex-showroom). Notably, Bajaj matched the base price with other luxury 125cc sports motorcycles, which is commendable given the added cost and complexity of CNG technology. The base range is likely to be at an appealing level, so bike enthusiasts will be interested, while the top end will appeal to individual customers.     Bajaj chose not to launch its first CNG offering in a casual manner. Besides the new CNG feature, the Freedom 125 stands out as a luxury motorcycle in its own right. Adding toe guards with an exposed mesh frame, thick tank shroud, beefy front fork cover and stylish alloy wheels. Moreover, the attractive lighting elements, vibrant colours, and exceptional seat height give it its great appeal again.      In terms of features, Bajaj has equipped the Freedom 125 with a complete digital negative LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. LED headlights, LED taillights, side-standing engine cut-offs, USB charging sockets and sturdy hooks add to the practicality. All of these features add up to more than the Freedom 125’s utility and versatility, along with its impressive fuel economy.      Engine, Specs and Mileage  The Bajaj Freedom 125's distinguishing feature is its all-new 124.58cc single-cylinder Bi-fuel unit engine that can run on both CNG and petrol. This 124.58cc single-cylinder unit achieves a mileage of up to 102 km/kg on CNG and 67 km/litre on fuel. Thanks to its sloper design, Bajaj is able to integrate the CNG tank under the seat. However, the full CNG system adds significant weight, bringing the bike's kerb weight to 147.8kg.   The CNG tank weighs 16 kg and can hold 2 kg of CNG gas. It is securely integrated into the bike's trellis frame. This design enabled Bajaj to reposition the air box into the fuel tank area, hence pushing a small 2L fuel tank towards the right. Bajaj Freedom 125 has a total range of 330 km, which is very useful for motorcycles. Switching between CNG and petrol modes is seamless when shifting on the left-hand switchgear.      There is a noticeable performance difference between the CNG and petrol modes. Simply put, the petrol option is like a 'sport' mode, while the CNG is more 'eco' oriented. The Bajaj Freedom 125 is compared to the 125cc of other motorcycles. It exhibits slightly lower performance, which is more of its 147.8 kg kerb weight on the bike's 5-speed gearbox, which can improve with more kilometres.      We did extensive mileage testing on the motorcycle. However, due to a mismatch of CNG injection pressure, our test result is 85 km/kg on CNG, which is different from Bajaj's claim of 102 km/kg. We plan to be accurate 100% to 0% mileage check in the future for accurate readings. Even at a top speed of 85 km/kg, the Bajaj Freedom 125 offers significantly lower running costs than other motorcycles in India, all thanks to its cheaper CNG fuel.      Ride, handling and comfort: Bajaj Auto prioritised comfort with the Freedom 125. One of the tallest in the entire world, the seats offer plenty of space. At 825 mm, the seat height suits perfectly ( 182 cm tall individual). The bike is comfortable to ride, with a good seat and comfort while driving that includes handlebars positioned well for relaxed city riding, which is its primary use.      The bike felt stable, whether on city streets or at highway speeds. The Freedom 125 maintains comfort on bumpy roads, handling irregularities well. While we noticed occasional turbulence from the front suspension during the short time we spent with the bike, overall, the suspension system felt assured and confident, with decent braking performance for the segment. Also, the Freedom 125’s intended speed was high.      Conclusion Bajaj has put a lot of effort into the Freedom 125 CNG motorcycle, which is reflected in its stylish specifications. Despite the addition of new CNG technology, it is priced competitively with its 125cc counterparts. We guess that with the Bajaj Freedom CNG, we encountered a small bit of energy. However, the issues are not anticipated with the product models available to these customers.      We believe that Bajaj could have increased the mileage further by adding an engine stop/start system to its first CNG motorcycle.     Additionally, an integrated engine kill switch and navigation feature with Bluetooth connectivity would have been useful. Bajaj also needs to highlight more safety features to reassure potential customers and address concerns raised about this motorcycle.      Although the Bajaj Freedom 125 does not have a major deal breaker to deter its intended audience, we believe Bajaj has a winning factor with the Freedom 125. It represents the future of CNG motorcycles, exceeding our expectations so well.      Curious to know about the Revolutionary TVS Jupiter CNG Scooter Coming Soon   Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb Instagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
