Suzuki Motorcycle India's Sales Rise 24.36% in December 2023

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

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
