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.

...Read full newsSuzuki has recalled the Hayabusa in India because of a possible braking problem. The units recalled were manufactured between 2021 and 2023. This is mainly due to problems with the front brake caliper, which may result in poor braking performance. Suzuki advises owners to have their bikes inspected and make necessary repairs at authorized service centers free of charge. This proactive measure ensures this sports bike is safe and reliable. Owners are guided to check their vehicle identification numbers to see if they qualify. Quick Highlights:Suzuki Hayabusa was recalled in India for braking issues.Affected units manufactured between 2021 and 2023.Owners are advised to inspect bikes at service centers.The recall impacts 1,056 Hayabusa units in India.The front brake lever may pose safety risks.Suzuki has announced a recall for one of its most popular big bikes in India, the Hayabusa. This recall affects 1,056 units, and the company is expected to contact affected customers shortly. Recall Due to Front Brake Issues and Safety RisksThe recall is due to a problem with the front brakes. According to the official document, "the front brake lever play may increase, and in extreme cases, the lever can touch the throttle grip, resulting in longer braking distances." In simpler terms, the front brake levers on those specific bikes may become so soft that they fully touch the accelerator without fully compressing. This can prevent effective braking, leading to greater braking distance and some risks in safety circumstances. Enhanced Braking and PerformanceHayabusa changed its front brakes to Brembo Stylema calipers, clutching a couple of discs that measure 320mm in diameter. Braking is moderate, but the response is smooth and progressive. So, the overall stopping power has improved significantly over the previous one. Additionally, where Hayabusa always used to excel because of its engine. The 1,340cc inline four-cylinder motor induces 190bhp and 142Nm of torque, giving an exciting yet surprisingly smooth and manageable ride. This makes it one of the most enjoyable supersport bikes to own and ride. Priced at Rs. 16.90 lakh (ex-showroom), the Suzuki Hayabusa is one of the best-value big bikes available in India.

...Read full newsTriumph has launched the 2025 Tiger 1200 for Rs. 19.39 lakh. The new model boasts features and cutting-edge technology that adventure enthusiasts can look for in comfort and performance. It offers a powerful engine, improved suspension, and various electronics, including ride modes and traction control. The adventure touring segment claims new leadership with the Tiger 1200's specially rugged and feature-rich design, promising thrilling, off-road capabilities. Quick Highlights:Launched 2025 Tiger 1200 at Rs. 19.39 lakh.Features a powerful 1,160cc T-plane crank engine.Enhanced comfort with improved seat and handlebars.Four variants: GT Pro, Rally Pro Explorers, Rally Pro.Advanced electronics include riding modes and traction control. Triumph has launched the 2025 Tiger 1200 lineup in India, featuring four variants: GT Pro, GT Pro Explorer, Rally Pro, and Rally Pro Explorer. Prices begin at Rs. 19.39 lakh, ex-showroom. Enhanced Performance and Comfort FeaturesThe 1200 GT Pro version has become more road-friendly, with the option of 19-18-inch alloy wheels. Meanwhile, the Rally Pro prioritizes road travel by mounting 21-18-inch tubeless spoke wheels. Explorer trims offer a bigger 30-litre fuel tank than the 20-litre ones found in the Pro variant. All models feature the same 1,160cc inline three-cylinder T-plane crank engine tuned for enhanced low-end tractability. Moreover, the responsiveness is due to alterations made in the crankshaft, alternator rotor, and balancer. The unit churns out 150bhp at 9,000rpm; at 7,000rpm, the maximum torque is 130Nm. In addition, gear shifts are even smoother with refined clutches. Triumph has also accentuated better comfort during rides. This is due to the fact that the saddle has a flatter profile, additional space is offered, and handlebars and risers that feature the Pro series trims are dampened just as the Explorer trims carry. The clutch lever has a longer reach, and an optional low seat drops the saddle by 20mm. The ground clearance of the two models, GT Pro and GT Explorer, was improved with the repositioning of the footpeg. This further enhances comfort, as the preload to the rear suspension is lowered all the way to 20mm when the rider puts on the brakes to stand still. Advanced Electronics and Premium Components The Tiger 1200 lineup is still loaded with advanced electronic features and premium components.
