All are complimenting Bajaj. But we need to also praise Vanaz for their incredible CNG kit innovations. These guys have kits for Activa and Jupiter already! And for people complaining it is after market, Bajaj is using the same company on this bike.
That's not even Mumbai. It's the palm beach road of Navi Mumbai which is a sub of Sion panvel highway. Navi Mumbai has a distinct elected council too which is seen in this video
@@lejhand2067 Bro I know but when it comes to whole India...for making it easy all adjoining districts are commonly called mumbai it includes south + suburban + navi + thane
@@aryadave8832 wot.😂 Who started this system. Can't people just remember these are different places. Also Navi Mumbai extends upto Raigad district. Are those called Mumbai too. 😂😂 I understand it's for simplicity but don't make it so simple that it sounds stupid
This bike will fit NICELY in any enthusiast garage tbh. Perfect for city rides while the bigger bikes are for weekend rides and touring or track. I'm definitely keeping an eye out for this thing
Exactly! And for delivery services guys as well. Nobody is looking to ride a bike at over 60 kmph in cities anyway. The point about Enthusiast is very correct, I personally have a New Triumph 400, Himmy 450, my Dad's RE 350 Classic, A second Honda CB 650R, and this will fit perfectly for me.
Respect for Bajaj to actually thinking about, spending in reasearch and coming up with a great solution for the masses. .It does solve a problem rather than just being a fancy ride! I would love to see a family scooter like TVS Jupiter use this trick and I will happily spend on something like that
People riding this bike will spend longer timms on road, bajaj should introduce abs to this bike, be it from the platina 110, That will make this a complete complete package. & I believe Bajaj *will* surely launch that.. Bajaj.. pls pls empower safety of our Gig- workers .. Thanks Bajaj
Then company will consider this model as a failure and stop this model. It doesn't matter how long the travel is going to be but it starts when you take your first step.
Fantastic review of the Fantastic bike! If rural areas get the CNG stations nearby then this will be a bigger hit than any other commuter motorcycle ever made. The company has done its job. It is for the government to lay the CNG pipeline to far and flung areas if they want to see more number of cleaner vehicles on the road. It would be interesting to see if other bike manufacturers like Hero, Honda and TVS would bring similar products in the market. But credit must be given to BAJAJ for what they have done before anyone else could do in the world of automobiles. The final concern is will the CNG prices would stay at their current level or will the government increase the tax rates on it making it as expensive as petrol in which case the frugality aspect of this bike will be less appealing.
Really great video guys👏👏👏 Rishad, my man, constantly explaining things about the motorcycle, with closeups and B rolls of the motorcycle while he is talking, no stupid video montages with shit rap/upbeat music, no distraction, just to the point. Please adopt this format for your future videos. Thanks guys.
absolutely spot-on! the only motorcycle review I deliberately search for. and as a copywriter myself, I am fascinated by his content. He knows the machines and he definitely has the words to express himself and the most impressive aspect is that he knows how WE understand. Through and through the best reviewer, and although I quite like the simple and clean nature of the editing, I do kind of wish sometimes that these machines got a little more cinematic seconds just so they are properly introduced to us. But the best reviewer anywhere.
Three questions 1 . Are there points to screw side luggage box ( dikki ) on right side ,? 2 . Tyres . Are the tubeless? And how much broad ? 3 . Does price of motorcycle include insurance and registration?
I can already see aftermarket crash guard makers making one with a fuel canister holder like those made for touring bikes. Kudos to Bajaj and Vanaz for this project. The next evolution will be hybrid motorcycles. Cause if there's one country that can beat the Japanese at making hybrid motorcycles, it's India.
What savings will I get compared to 100cc bike? I can buy splendor for half this price.. performance wise 100cc bike will be equivalent to 125cc cng bike..
Nice Video... Very Useful Information.... I've a small doubt... I've a CNG car of CNG Tank capacity of 10kg, but usually it will get 8-8.5kg What about this bike? Is it getting 2 kgs? Please mention
Really appreciate the review! Excellent coverage and in depth analysis at a very good pace. Even if I may not buy this motorcycle it sure sets a standard on how vehicles should be reviewed! 👍

Seems what you save in fuel you spend on maintenence , more parts, more filters, more certification , and considering bajaj they will bring out versions like mobile phones that parts like wiring kits and colour specific body panels will be hard to source
Fuel to Air ratio could be off if the higher RPMs are a thing and the stalling as well maybe Bajaj can look into this as this could mean that bike burns more fuel than it should
Nicely Explanation and oylther stuff I was wondering about. However, I might have loved if the Explanation would have done in the open environment instead of studio.
Okay Three questions: 1) Why sixteen inch wheels? 2) How hard is it to pick up after a fall since all the weight lies in the tank up top. 3) Is there a difference in exhaust/engine sound between petrol and CNG?
1. What do you even mean 2. It weighs only 150kilos shouldn't be that difficult to pick up 3. As a person who owns a cng car there is a very slight difference in sound between cng and petrol
@@swaggychicken. Commuter bikes normally have 17-18 inch wheels, and they have used 16 inch wheels for this bike. I can't understand why, Is it to decrease seat height by an inch? And secondly i know it's not heavy but most bikes have their center of gravity much lower so lifting them becomes easier but this bike has a 16 kg tank right on top of the frame.
@@mustafadudhwala7278 yeah probably to reduce height According to the review he said it's a very neutral handling motorcycle and even logically you can't have a bike with a high centre of gravity because it would be impossible to ride So it is safe to assume that Bajaj has engineered it to have a normal centre of gravity
Bajaj should work on ev bikes and how to lower prices to compete with ola, ather and tvs. CNG doesn't provide power to ride in hilly area or on bridges.

@@TheZenith790 How can you say it's not safe when there has been no incident whatsoever ?

It still makes sense to buy an eV unless you are riding a very long distance in one go. Very complicated engineering. But kudos for attempting that

I have been riding CNG Bike already since 2020.
My Activa 5g have been modified to fit the CNG Kit and it also runs on both CNG and Petrol.
I can already see aftermarket crash guard makers making one with a fuel canister holder like those made for touring bikes.
Kudos to Bajaj and Vanaz for this project. The next evolution will be hybrid motorcycles. Cause if there's one country that can beat the Japanese at making hybrid motorcycles, it's India.

This is the first version of a new technology for bikes in India. Do not jump the ship and buy it. Patience is key.
I love every innovation by every Indian brands especially if those innovations work...💪😎
How does it hold up in traffic jams? Will the heat build up affect the gas tank?
Nice Video...
Very Useful Information....
I've a small doubt...
I've a CNG car of CNG Tank capacity of 10kg, but usually it will get 8-8.5kg
What about this bike? Is it getting 2 kgs? Please mention
A Very well presented. 👍🏼
This makes me proud
India has managed to make something out of scratch
The best review i could find. Thank you.
This is very give me a thoro review. well done
Aye, nice review mate! Loved the details.

One of the best road to shoot new bike and car. Palm Beach road❤
CNG prices are 87 per kg, not Rs 75, only few bunks give it at that rate, anyway great work by Bajaj.
Best bike for future
Where I live, there is cng available but not queued.
Kudos to the engineering team of bajaj.
I think this is the only video u need to see for your buying decision
Hope they will bring a better model for the family soon.
They should've made a petrol only version of this bike with 15 liter tank
Are you genuinely stupid?
*Can't hear anything even on full volume 😑*
Bro u need to visit an ENT doc asap 😂
If it heats up or blasts - the first things that go are your family jewels.
Cng has burning temp of 550°c
Good indepth review.. few minus points in the bikes.. maybe I will wait for a second version in 2025 or 26
Superb explanation👌

Top notch review, top notch presenter.
Who thinks that the transparent fiber body looks cool, waiting for the day when manufacturs offer this option
Bajaj should have used a composite cylinder for CNG that would have reduced alot of weight and those cylinders are blast proof too.
The bike being taller than usual commuters and the long seat. Shaving off the back like the grab rails I think it would really sexy
Fuel to Air ratio could be off if the higher RPMs are a thing and the stalling as well maybe Bajaj can look into this as this could mean that bike burns more fuel than it should

Should’ve covered the range aspect also
Love your videos man
commendable work by bajaj engineering team
Same with CNG cans now a days have tank under rear seats
Quality content by Autocar……master stroke by Bajaj
Why is rear tyre size 16 inches. I think for the convince of removing CNG tank.
since this is a commuter focussed motorcycle, the review could have been in hindi (or any other regional language with subtitles)
Am I the only one who thinks Rishab looks like Esteban Ocon ?
All this will be accurate if CNG prices remain like this for next three years. Last year it increased like 30% in half an year.
My usage is very less, I ride like 300 kms every month. Does it make sense for me? 🤔
Same question 😅
Also roadside bike shop can't fix a problem if something happen on a road 💀
Bajaj should work on ev bikes and how to lower prices to compete with ola, ather and tvs. CNG doesn't provide power to ride in hilly area or on bridges.
Waiting for fuel-cell driven bike
Quite detailed review.
Actually, mileage tests should be done with extreme speed. Then even fast riders out here can get a better idea and normal riders obviously.
What do you mean by extreme speeds? It's a below 10hp commuter
Where is safety 🛟🦺? Cylinder is on below the seat?
Good idea!
