PUNE: The Bajaj Freedom 125, which Bajaj Auto calls the world's first CNG motorcycle, is listed from Rs 1,04,058 to Rs 1,17,499 ex-showroom Delhi on the company's official Freedom page. Three NG04 variants are on sale, the Disc LED, Drum LED and Drum, price as of 9 October 2026, 7:05 AM IST.
With petrol prices a constant worry for daily commuters, a motorcycle that runs mainly on CNG has a clear appeal this festive season. Here is the variant-wise price list, what each version gets, and the fuel and running-cost details Bajaj publishes, along with one pricing oddity buyers should know about.
Bajaj Freedom 125 price list
On Bajaj's Freedom page and its variant comparison page, the top Freedom 125 NG04 Disc LED is listed at Rs 1,17,499. The NG04 Drum LED is listed at Rs 1,04,058 and the NG04 Drum at Rs 1,07,159. All prices are marked as ex-showroom Delhi.
The oddity is that the Drum variant, which has a conventional bulb headlamp and a smaller rear drum brake according to Bajaj's own comparison table, is listed Rs 3,101 above the better-equipped Drum LED. Bajaj's page does not explain the difference. Buyers should ask the dealer to confirm the price of the exact variant they want before paying a booking amount.
Engine and fuel system
All three variants use a 124.6cc engine that Bajaj rates at 6.99 kW (9.5 PS) at 8,000 rpm and 9.7 Nm at 5,000 rpm. The bike runs on CNG, with a 12.5-litre, 2 kg CNG cylinder, and has a small 2-litre petrol tank that Bajaj describes as a limp-home reserve.
Bajaj says riders can cut their operational costs by 50 percent with the Freedom. That is the company's own claim rather than an independent test. Actual savings will depend on local CNG prices, the availability of CNG stations on your route and how much of your riding is done on petrol.
Buyers should check the CNG station network in their area before booking. A 2 kg cylinder means more frequent refills than a large petrol tank, so a station near home or work makes a real difference to daily convenience.
What each variant gets
According to Bajaj's comparison table, the Disc LED variant gets a 240 mm front disc brake, a 130 mm rear drum with combined braking, an LED headlamp and an inverted full LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity. It also gets a plastic and steel belly pan and a tank cover flap.
The Drum LED variant has 130 mm drum brakes at both ends with combined braking, an LED headlamp and a smaller LCD without connectivity. The Drum variant uses a 130 mm front drum, a 110 mm rear drum, a bulb headlamp, a small LCD without connectivity and a sheet metal belly pan, and it does not get the tank cover flap.
All three share 90/80-17 front and 120/70-16 rear tubeless tyres and an 825 mm seat height. Bajaj also highlights what it calls the longest seat in the class and mono-link rear suspension on the Freedom.
Where it fits in Bajaj's range
The Freedom is priced above Bajaj's petrol commuters such as the Platina 110 Drum and CT 110X, which the same website lists at Rs 75,797 and Rs 74,930 ex-showroom respectively. That puts the cheapest Freedom about Rs 28,000 to Rs 29,000 above those two bikes. The higher upfront price is the trade-off for lower fuel costs, so the payback depends on how far you ride each month.
