Bajaj Tackles CNG Tank Safety Issues in Freedom 125 CNG Bike
July 6, 2024

Bajaj has launched the Freedom 125 in India at a starting price of Rs 95,000. It is the world's first CNG bike, and many customers might worry about the safety of having a CNG tank on a bike. Every year, many CNG cars fail, and bikes are more exposed than cars. Bajaj assures that the bike has been thoroughly tested for safety. The manufacturer says the bike has passed 11 different crash and impact tests at their test facility.How Bajaj Tested the New Freedom 125 CNG Bike Bajaj tested the bike from different angles. In the Front Collision Test, the Freedom 125 CNG bike crashed into a 1.5-ton moving barrier at a speed of 60kmph. Moreover, the company also did a Truck Runover Test, where a 10-ton truck was driven over the CNG bike. This test simulates a situation where the rider falls off and the bike gets run over by a truck. In both the Front Collision Test and the Truck Runover Test, the bike handled the impacts well. The CNG tank stayed in place, kept its shape, and did not leak.Bajaj also performed nine other tests: a Frontal Pendulum Test, a Rear Impact Test, a Left Side Impact Test, a Right Side Impact Test, a Vertical Drop Test, a 50kg Filling Unit Strength Test, two types of CNG Valve Impact Tests (to see if the valve breaks on impact), and a 20G Pull Out Test. Impact tests involved hitting the bike with a moving barrier, while drop tests involved dropping the bike from a height.What is Bajaj Providing in Freedom 125 CNG Bike?Bajaj designed the trellis frame and subframe to keep the CNG cylinder safe. These frames act like cages to protect the cylinder from damage in a crash. The engine is also placed away from the CNG cylinder, so the heat from the engine doesn’t affect the CNG tank. This is important because the CNG tank holds pressurized gas, which can expand when it gets hot.When filling the CNG tank, you need to get off the bike and stand at least 5 feet away. This safety measure at CNG fuel stations helps prevent accidents in case the CNG cylinder explodes.Before you go, don’t forget to check out the June 2024 FADA two-wheeler sales report. 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

Brixton Storr 500 to Launch in India by Early 2025
November 21, 2024

Brixton Motorcycles shall launch the Storr 500 in India in early 2025. A style cruiser with a 486 cc single-cylinder engine, power and efficiency seamlessly complement performance in this motorcycle. This bike will be ensuring both the demands of cities and long-distance cruising.  This retro-design motorcycle will have all the modern features, like LED lighting, a digital instrument cluster, advanced safety systems, etc. The Storr 500 should attract most motorcycle enthusiasts in India who crave that classic look paired with modern performance. Quick Highlights:Brixton Storr 500 India launch is expected in 2025.Powered by a 486cc parallel-twin engine, 47bhp.Rivals Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Benelli TRK 502.Brixton Storr 500 combines retro style and modern performance.Expected price is around Rs. 5.50 lakh ex-showroom.Brixton Motorcycles has introduced four new neo-retro models in India, ranging from 500cc to 1200cc. One model noticeably missing was the Brixton Storr 500 adventure tourer. Sources indicate that the Storr 500 will come to India "very soon".Design, Specs, and India Launch in 2025Brixton is expected to launch the Storr 500 in India by the first half of 2025. This might be because the bike has yet to be released in Europe, its prime market. Brixton recently showcased the production-ready version of the Storr 500 at EICMA 2024. An attractive model, the Storr 500 draws design inspiration from models such as the Husqvarna Norden 900 and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. Design highlights include a large fuel tank and a distinctive fairing that combines the tank into the light assembly. The Storr 500 is powered by a 486cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, producing 47bhp at 8,500rpm and 43Nm of peak torque at 6,700rpm. It is mated to a six-speed gearbox. This motorcycle boasts a tubular steel frame supported by upside-down front forks and a linked rear monoshock. It rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tubeless spoke wheels with knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres. Moreover, the Brixton Crossfire 500XC engine is impressive and provides image power with its smoothness, punchy performance, and strong tractability. Based on that, the Storr 500 could prove an excellent middleweight adventure tourer. It will mainly compete with the Benelli TRK 502. Still, it is also an interesting alternative to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and, of course, the soon-to-be-released KTM 390 Adventure R. Its price may be around Rs. 5.50 lakh ex-showroom.Before you go, have a look at the Two-Wheeler Weekly Roundup: KTM's Big Bikes, TVS 300cc ADV, and Latest UpdatesFollow 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

Royal Enfield's 750cc Cafe Racer Spotted: A Powerful Upgrade in the Works
November 20, 2024

Royal Enfield is developing a new 750cc cafe racer, recently spotted testing in Chennai. The bike features a semi-faired design reminiscent of classic cafe racers. It has clip-on handlebars and rear-set footpegs for a sporty riding stance. Moreover, the test model showcased a unique Monza-style front fairing and a redesigned fuel tank, distinct from the upcoming 750cc Interceptor. This cafe racer is set to replace the Continental GT 650 and promises a thrilling upgrade. The new 750cc parallel-twin engine could deliver 5-7bhp more than the 47bhp of the current 648cc engine. This model is expected to debut in 2026-27. Enhanced Features and HardwareThe test bike features dual front disc brakes, a first for Royal Enfield. It ensures superior braking power. Alloy wheels, likely 18 inches in size, and traditional telescopic forks add to the performance-focused setup. While upside-down forks might feature in the production model, the test mule had twin coiled shock absorbers at the rear.  Furthermore, it includes chrome-finished indicators, blacked-out twin exhausts, and a single-pod digital display, possibly a TFT dash. The cafe racer also borrows a round underseat panel from the Bear 650, Royal Enfield's recent launch. 750cc Line-Up on the HorizonRoyal Enfield is planning multiple models with the new 750cc engine, including an Interceptor. These bikes are expected to be the most powerful in the brand’s line-up. They can generate a lot of buzz around the prospect of launching at EICMA in 2025 or Motorverse events. Combining the modern day with a pleasingly retro appearance, Royal Enfield's 750cc lineup could well redefine the mid-capacity hero. Before you go, don’t forget to check out the recently launched TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. 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
