Bajaj Freedom 125 Dual Fuel Tanks
The Bajaj Freedom 125 is targeted at buyers looking to dramatically lower their running costs. The CNG motorcycle promises to lower consumption by nearly 50 per cent with a small petrol fuel tank in place, in addition to the CNG cylinder. There is a switch on the right side of the handlebar that allows you to switch between either fuel option. The CNG cylinder is placed below the petrol tank and visually, there is nothing major to denote the Freedom 125 is different from its rivals. That said, the filler nozzles for the CNG and petrol tanks are different with the former requiring a pressurised storage setup and a different mechanism over a conventional petrol tank. The petrol tank has a capacity of 2 litres whereas the CNG tank capacity is of 2 kg.
