                  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)

                  Splendor is a good bike for daily commuters as it delivers a good mileage and smooth performance. In one word, a buget king or mileage king. Moreover maintainance is also low, parts are easily available in market. I will recommend this bike for all the office commuter as well as for local users. Overall nice bike.
