Bajaj CNG Bike: Bajaj Auto is set to make waves in the motorcycle industry with its upcoming CNG-powered bike, expected to be named ‘Bruzer,’ making its debut on June 18, 2024. This innovative CNG bike will target the 100-125cc category, offering lower operational costs and enhanced fuel efficiency compared to traditional petrol bikes. According to a report by Acko Drive, recent spy shots of the Bajaj CNG bike reveal key features and design elements.
The Bajaj CNG bike boasts an upright riding position with a unified seat, a single-piece handlebar equipped with hand guards and mid-positioned foot pegs. It features LED headlights, bulb indicators, a rear grab rail, engine-side leg guards for safety, and a sleek black exhaust, along with a fully digital instrument cluster. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic fork and monoshock systems, while braking is handled by drum and disc brakes with single-channel ABS.
Spy shots reveal two distinct variants - one with premium touches like a compact windscreen and sleek mirror stems and another with a rugged appearance akin to the Bajaj CT125X, featuring added protective elements like handguards and a sump guard. Both variants sport a streamlined exhaust design and conventional alloy wheels.
The Bajaj CNG motorcycle will offer dual-fuel adaptability, allowing riders to switch between CNG as the primary fuel source and an additional petrol tank for backup refuelling. A switch knob positioned near the rider’s left leg enables seamless switching between fuels.

This innovative CNG motorcycle promises significant environmental benefits, including a 50 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions, a 75 per cent decrease in carbon monoxide emissions, and nearly 90 per cent less non-methane hydrocarbons. It also aims to cut fuel and operational costs by 55-65 per cent.
With an estimated price range of Rs 80,000 to Rs 90,000 (ex-showroom), the new Bajaj CNG bike is set to compete against popular models like the Hero Splendor Plus, TVS Radeon, Honda Shine 100 and Bajaj Platina 110, offering consumers a compelling choice in the commuter segment.
