                  Review after 8k kms usage
                  Baja. Freedom bio is ideal for long commute as it is fuel efficient, low maintenance and economical friendly. Dual fuel adds flexibility although slightly less powered but sufficient for travel without pillion and not much heavy luggage. Ridden 8000 plus kms ok pure CNG, less than 200kms used on petrol, I can say ride on CNG is reliable as Bajaj has been on CNG vehicles like in Auto rickshaw from decades. As said earlier it is slightly less powered but enough for single person travel. I would recommend as the bike itself is easy to ride although it is 148 kg but feels very lightweight while riding. With a great mileage of 90 plus on cng and may be 60 plus on petrol ( coz ridden vert less on petrol)

                  Best bike in milage
                  Good mileage in this segment. I think need improvement breaking pads. Need sit comfortable raider and pillion. Light was good. Tier grip good. City mileage good. Best for long way and highway riding. This bike made a best tourist bike. But after long time bike riding bike hit. Good bike in 125cc segment.

                  Ideal Choice for Daily Users
                  Chose it because of mileage and brand trust. Wanted something that will last long and not trouble every few months. The design caught my eye and it felt sturdier than most bikes in its price range. The dealer service was also convincing. Ride is smooth, seat comfort is good, and the suspension handles bumps fine. Engine still feels new. Even during long trips, the seat comfort keeps you fresh. The headlight brightness could be better though. Recommend for daily users who want less service headaches and consistent performance. This bike is fully dependable, stylish, and easy to maintain anywhere. You get good performance without spending too much on fuel or frequent service visits.
