All are complimenting Bajaj. But we need to also praise Vanaz for their incredible CNG kit innovations. These guys have kits for Activa and Jupiter already! And for people complaining it is after market, Bajaj is using the same company on this bike.

People worried about safety of bike, but rides without helmet on wrong side while talking on the phone.

This is an engineering marvel. Kudos to Rajiv Bajaj and his team.🎉🎉🎉🎉

Mumbai's working class are the best people. Just look at the smile and excitement on their faces😍😍😍

The quality of autocar reviews when Rishad Modi does the reviews is God level🥵🙌🏻

Compliments to Bajaj and AutoCar. AutoCar atleast knows how to make decent videos like @motorinc. Keep it up making distraction free videos.

This bike will fit NICELY in any enthusiast garage tbh. Perfect for city rides while the bigger bikes are for weekend rides and touring or track. I'm definitely keeping an eye out for this thing

Only CNG auto drivers will know about the bar of CNG and how many kilometers will it go so far… Respect to them..❤

Cng the new Hybrids of motorcycling world !!!

Okay i can't unsee that "Husqvarna" kind of design from behind 🤣

TVS Jupiter CNG incoming 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Respect for Bajaj to actually thinking about, spending in reasearch and coming up with a great solution for the masses. .It does solve a problem rather than just being a fancy ride! I would love to see a family scooter like TVS Jupiter use this trick and I will happily spend on something like that

Fantastic review of the Fantastic bike! If rural areas get the CNG stations nearby then this will be a bigger hit than any other commuter motorcycle ever made. The company has done its job. It is for the government to lay the CNG pipeline to far and flung areas if they want to see more number of cleaner vehicles on the road. It would be interesting to see if other bike manufacturers like Hero, Honda and TVS would bring similar products in the market. But credit must be given to BAJAJ for what they have done before anyone else could do in the world of automobiles. The final concern is will the CNG prices would stay at their current level or will the government increase the tax rates on it making it as expensive as petrol in which case the frugality aspect of this bike will be less appealing.

atleast you should’ve stop the BGM when you’re showing engine sound

As a motor enthusiast , i request all my beloved riders to wait for atleast 3 months before going for a buy ❤

People riding this bike will spend longer timms on road, bajaj should introduce abs to this bike, be it from the platina 110, That will make this a complete complete package. & I believe Bajaj *will* surely launch that.. Bajaj.. pls pls empower safety of our Gig- workers .. Thanks Bajaj

Really great video guys👏👏👏 Rishad, my man, constantly explaining things about the motorcycle, with closeups and B rolls of the motorcycle while he is talking, no stupid video montages with shit rap/upbeat music, no distraction, just to the point. Please adopt this format for your future videos. Thanks guys.

India cheated the value of CNG and jumped onto EVs . Thanks to Bajaj for continuing the CNG tribe.

Seat Height is a major issue for city commuters of below 5'5" height.

Absolutely brilliant video. Kudos to Bajaj. Autocar, you've got a great host in Rishaad.

🎉🎉🎉🇮🇳❤🕉️🎉🎉🎉 Incredible masterpiece. Thanks Bajaj. Jai Hind.

Happy Rishaad has taken up this review. Loved the new editing style. Thanks Autocar team - camera, edit and Rishaad

What savings will I get compared to 100cc bike? I can buy splendor for half this price.. performance wise 100cc bike will be equivalent to 125cc cng bike..

Excellent presentation, Rishaad!!!

2:35 i dont get it if both are steel then how is freedom one lighter

One of the most comprehensive review!

How does it hold up in traffic jams? Will the heat build up affect the gas tank?

Three questions 1 . Are there points to screw side luggage box ( dikki ) on right side ,? 2 . Tyres . Are the tubeless? And how much broad ? 3 . Does price of motorcycle include insurance and registration?

I have been riding CNG Bike already since 2020. My Activa 5g have been modified to fit the CNG Kit and it also runs on both CNG and Petrol.

It still makes sense to buy an eV unless you are riding a very long distance in one go. Very complicated engineering. But kudos for attempting that

Really good, practical review

I can already see aftermarket crash guard makers making one with a fuel canister holder like those made for touring bikes. Kudos to Bajaj and Vanaz for this project. The next evolution will be hybrid motorcycles. Cause if there's one country that can beat the Japanese at making hybrid motorcycles, it's India.

I have only one question. Is this the MotorInc studio ?

I love every innovation by every Indian brands especially if those innovations work...💪😎

This is very give me a thoro review. well done

Excellent review! Thank you Rishaad for making it so easy to understand with point by point explanation!! 👍

Nice Video... Very Useful Information.... I've a small doubt... I've a CNG car of CNG Tank capacity of 10kg, but usually it will get 8-8.5kg What about this bike? Is it getting 2 kgs? Please mention

Sounds like Bajaj rickshaw! 😄

*Can't hear anything even on full volume 😑*

Really appreciate the review! Excellent coverage and in depth analysis at a very good pace. Even if I may not buy this motorcycle it sure sets a standard on how vehicles should be reviewed! 👍

This is the first version of a new technology for bikes in India. Do not jump the ship and buy it. Patience is key.

A Very well presented. 👍🏼

10:50 Comrade Dyatlov

This makes me proud India has managed to make something out of scratch

Babaj freedom top model or hero extreme 125 r top model ...hero 123000 baj 135000..please suggest sir ?

Kudos to the engineering team of bajaj.

One of the best road to shoot new bike and car. Palm Beach road❤

CNG prices are 87 per kg, not Rs 75, only few bunks give it at that rate, anyway great work by Bajaj.

Quick question i wonder when the cylinder gets leaks and explodes whats safety for rider?🤔🤔

Best bike for future

Hope they will bring a better model for the family soon.

I think this is the only video u need to see for your buying decision

Fuel to Air ratio could be off if the higher RPMs are a thing and the stalling as well maybe Bajaj can look into this as this could mean that bike burns more fuel than it should

Aye, nice review mate! Loved the details.

Good indepth review.. few minus points in the bikes.. maybe I will wait for a second version in 2025 or 26

Nicely Explanation and oylther stuff I was wondering about. However, I might have loved if the Explanation would have done in the open environment instead of studio.

Seems what you save in fuel you spend on maintenence , more parts, more filters, more certification , and considering bajaj they will bring out versions like mobile phones that parts like wiring kits and colour specific body panels will be hard to source

Can we shrink the Hybrid Petrol-Electric system enough to fit in a two-wheeler someday?

why bajaj not made a CNG scooter instead of the bike ?

Why is rear tyre size 16 inches. I think for the convince of removing CNG tank.

rishaad where do u get those elephant leg pants from

Top notch review, top notch presenter.

Is it just me or Autocar is borrowing the concept of a studio review from Motoinc?

Okay Three questions: 1) Why sixteen inch wheels? 2) How hard is it to pick up after a fall since all the weight lies in the tank up top. 3) Is there a difference in exhaust/engine sound between petrol and CNG?

Bajaj should have used a composite cylinder for CNG that would have reduced alot of weight and those cylinders are blast proof too.

Superb explanation👌 Thank you for the review 🤝

Should’ve covered the range aspect also

Where I live, there is cng available but not queued.

Good video, Autocar do make so informative videos.

Super... Good looking... It's an very good alternative to petrol ⛽ bikes... 👍

If it heats up or blasts - the first things that go are your family jewels.

Damn, now longer queues to fill CNG in my car.

They should've made a petrol only version of this bike with 15 liter tank

1:05 Can I buy that Transparent bike 🏍 🤔?

Same with CNG cans now a days have tank under rear seats

All the praise to bajaj😊

Who thinks that the transparent fiber body looks cool, waiting for the day when manufacturs offer this option

Looks of commuter bike don’t really appeal me. But this bike looks really good with the exposed frame. Haves kind of a Hasqy look.

Looks like Evey bike reviewers are now living in navi mumbai 😂❤

Kudos to Bajaj and Vanaz.

What's the gear pattern? @autocar India

My usage is very less, I ride like 300 kms every month. Does it make sense for me? 🤔

Will it suit to a college student

Palm beach road is a staple for test rides

And will it good for 6ft height person

How do I buy one in kolkata

It is good bike for courier /delivery boys

since this is a commuter focussed motorcycle, the review could have been in hindi (or any other regional language with subtitles)

मेड ईन इंडिया ❤ हमारा बजाज

Quality content by Autocar……master stroke by Bajaj

Please tell, How much CNG filled in it, I have doubt its not even filling 1 kg.

commendable work by bajaj engineering team

How much?

I bought a bajaj xcd bike and within 6 years it engine ceased. I bought a bajaj platina and its engine problem started within 3rd years. Finally I shifted to hero

Love your videos man

All this will be accurate if CNG prices remain like this for next three years. Last year it increased like 30% in half an year.

Bajaj should work on ev bikes and how to lower prices to compete with ola, ather and tvs. CNG doesn't provide power to ride in hilly area or on bridges.

Where is safety 🛟🦺? Cylinder is on below the seat?
