Further, it will be launched in India during the festive season, starting from a price range of Rs. 80,000-Rs. 85,000 (ex-Showroom).

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

November 14, 2024

Updates for the 2025 Aprilia Tuono V4 seem to be made so that it stays true in the naked sportbike category. The new version possesses refined designs with details on styling and aerodynamic features. Further, the performance of this bike has been enhanced as well.  Its 1,099cc V4 power unit is designed for more power and torque while offering advanced electronics. These new electronics, such as a new traction control system, provide excellent handling. Moreover, with upgraded suspension and brakes, plus a thoroughly modernised, the 2025 Tuono V4 may ensure an even more exciting ride. Quick Highlights:Powered by a 1099cc, 180bhp engine.Features an updated, aggressive design language.New predictive electronics for optimised performance.Factory model includes advanced Ohlins suspension.More dynamic, streetfighter-inspired styling enhancements.The 2025 Aprilia Tuono V4 has been unveiled. As the street-naked variant of the Aprilia RSV4 superbike, the Tuono V4 shares many of the updates introduced to its more performance-focused model in the 2025 update. More Power, Advanced Electronics, and a Bold New Look2025 Aprilia Tuono V4 has a 1,099cc displacement and has increased its peak power to 180bhp with an add-on of 5bhp. While 180bhp is impressive, it still falls short of some rivals, such as the Ducati Streetfighter V4. But the V4 has long been a great performer and sounds utterly magnificent. Its six-speed gearbox is said to benefit from a bidirectional quickshifter, which makes the gear changes absolutely smooth. Moreover, the 2025 Aprilia Tuono V4 introduces a new predictive electronics system, just as in the RSV4. The system collects key data in real time, including speed, lean angle, throttle position, and more. Using this information, it can predict upcoming conditions and adjust the intervention of systems like traction control and wheelie control accordingly. The bike also provides eight levels of traction control and three levels of wheelie control, three engine-braking maps, and other performance-enhancing features. 2025 Tuono V4: Factory Model Upgrades and Design OverhaulAs is the case in previous iterations, the Tuono V4 comes in two variants: standard and Factory trims. Over and above all of the equipment fitted to the base version, the Factory arrives with the Ohlins semi-active Smart EC 2.0 system, alongside such gadgets as launch control, predictive slide control, a pit limiter, cornering lights and cruise control. The new 2025 Tuono V4 has evolved with a bolder look courtesy of winglets with aerodynamics and all-new body panels, removing the belly pan to display the V4 engine prominently. Additionally, the aggressive lines reflect the sporty character not only in the tank and side sections but also in the tail section, giving this bike that suitable streetfighter look, befitting its level of performance. Overall, the Tuono V4 now boasts a more dynamic, assertive presence. 2025 Aprilia Tuono V4 is set to hit international markets soon, though there has been no official announcement regarding its launch in India yet.Before you go, have a look at the CFMoto Unveils Its Rival 2025 675NK to the Triumph Street Triple.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

Honda Unveils 2025 CL500 Scrambler at EICMA
November 14, 2024

The 2025 Honda CL500 scrambler was unveiled at EICMA 2024, marking the brand's comeback into the scrambler segment. Powered by a 471cc parallel twin, the CL500 combines retro-inspired styling with modern performance.  It embodies long-travel suspension and knobby tyres and maintains a comfortable riding position suitable for everyday use. This scrambler boasts a classic design enhanced with modern features such as its digital display and advanced safety options. As such, the CL500 should appeal to riders who are looking for versatility and style. Quick Highlights:New colour options: Pearl Dusk Yellow, Brown.Improved ergonomics with reduced 790mm seat height.Updated engine with Euro 5+ compliance.Enhanced acceleration with a new 41-teeth sprocket.Modern features: LED lighting, LCD dash, ESS.Honda unveiled the 2025 CL500 scrambler at EICMA 2024, featuring updated aesthetics and improved ergonomics for enhanced comfort. Colour Updates, Ergonomic Enhancements, and Mechanical TweaksThe new additions for 2025 in terms of colour also include Pearl Dusk Yellow and Matt Fresco Brown, which complement the current range. More importantly, the bike now comes with a bigger 12-litre fuel tank, which, with a newly redesigned upswept exhaust of dual ports, gives the bike a little panache. The bike also has ergonomic features—the seat height is reduced to 790mm, thus providing better riding postures, thanks to footpegs that have been moved forward. Mechanically, the CL500 stays the same as its 471cc parallel-twin engine. Still, updated fuel mapping and an improved intake system are part of the updates, ensuring it conforms to Euro 5+ emissions standards. The rest of the engine is the same, producing 45.9bhp at 8,500rpm and 43.4Nm of peak torque at 6,250rpm. Honda has, though, altered the rear sprocket from 40 to 41 teeth, which helps a little to provide acceleration for a slightly more responsive ride. The CL500 comes with full LED lighting, a new LCD dash for better readability, and an Emergency Stop Signal. The motorcycle is scheduled to hit the international markets very soon; it remains to be seen whether it will find a market opening here in India.Before you leave, have a look at the Vespa Unveils the 2025 GTS 310.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
