      Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG is a fuel-efficient commuter bike with dual fuel (CNG/petrol). It has a smooth ride and low running costs. However, CNG infrastructure is limited, performance is average, and the features and comfort are basic.

      This is a nice CNG bike, suitable for work with Porter, Rapido, and Uber. It offers a good range and is one of the most powerful bikes in its category. Compared to other bikes, it may be a bit expensive, but overall, it is one of the best choices.

      This bike has a nice design and a modern model that looks very attractive. It offers excellent efficiency, delivering around 200 km on 2 kg of CNG, 60 km on just 2 liters of petrol, making it very economical to use. The price is also very reasonable, which adds great value for money. Overall, it’s a smart and practical choice. Best of luck, and nice bike.
