As Bajaj is preparing to launch the first CNG bike in the country, it is currently undergoing testing. Ahead of its official launch, the Bajaj CNG bike has been spotted testing, revealing significant details about the upcoming motorcycle. It looks like a regular commuter model with a long, flat seat and basic features. The fuel tank area seems small, so it's unclear how Bajaj will fit the CNG tank into the bike's design. The engine capacity and displacement of the upcoming CNG powered bike is not known yet, however it's likely to be around 110cc or 125cc.
Bajaj is aiming that this CNG powered motorcycle will cater to the people in rural and semi-urban areas. Bajaj recently trademarked four new names—Glider, Marathon, Trekker, and Freedom—suggesting the development of multiple new products. While the name for the upcoming CNG-powered motorcycle remains undisclosed, these trademarked names might be utilised for this model.
