Bajaj CNG Bike: New Details Emerge as Launch Nears

Bajaj's much-awaited CNG motorcycle has been spotted testing again, revealing fresh insights into its design and features. These frequent sightings suggest an imminent launch, possibly between April and June 2024.

The latest spy shots, though blurry, hint at a projector headlight for a modern look, paired with regular bulb indicators. This approach balances affordability with a touch of style. The hardware appears basic with a telescopic fork and a monoshock suspension. This being said there is a front disc brake but ABS remains unconfirmed.

The test mule also sported practical features like hand guards, a headlight cowl, engine crash guards, and a grab rail, enhancing both utility and visual appeal.

An interesting revelation is the horizontally positioned engine, likely to accommodate the CNG tank positioned above it. While the engine capacity is undisclosed, Bajaj targets the 100-160cc segment, aiming to compete with fuel-efficient commuter motorcycles.

This CNG bike could cater to urban areas with widespread CNG availability, offering a cost-effective alternative to petrol. However, concerns regarding mileage and refuelling inconvenience due to longer ques.

Bajaj might utilise one of their existing 102cc, 115cc, or 124cc engines for the CNG variant, or even offer multiple CNG options with different tank capacities. While CNG offers lower running costs, its energy density is less than petrol.
