                  Ab tak ki sabse achi bike plus mileage deni wali bike or cng or petrol dono se chala sakte hai, best ye laga ki petrol or cng dono dala le do 330 km chala sakte hai dhoka abhi tak nhi mila iss bike se. Kafi comfortable bike hai to kafi achi mileage dene wali bike 400 me 330 km tak ka safar aram se kr sakte hai to petrol dalane ka koi tension nhi or kafi achi chalti hai highway pe bhi kafi comfortable rethi hai. Daily work jaise office daily ane jane wale logo ke liye middle class logo ke liye kahi achi rahegi or to or agar aap zomato Swiggy blinkit jaise jaghe pe kam karte hai to apke liye kafi achi rahegi bajat me.

                  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 the first choice of every indian middle class family.
                  After owning this bike for than 3 years , I feel that its very good about mileage, comfort, and riding posture . It's a very low maintenance bike , service costs are also very low. If you get full tank petrol in this bike you don't have get petrol for 1 month it take out a massive mileage. In India this bike is first choice for the middle class families. I also own this bike and doesn't have any complaint about it.

                  Everyday Reliability with Hero Splendor Plus XTEC
                  A friend’s night ride idea made me plan the same, and it actually felt nice. This bike handles city roads calmly, doesn’t feel tiring, and keeps short trips easy. Weekend outings feel more relaxed, and even small store runs stay smooth. We wanted something steady for city lanes and small weekend plans. This bike feels comfortable and doesn’t trouble you in traffic. Quick turns, short breaks, and small detours all feel natural. Good for couples who like short peaceful rides. Great option for people who want a practical ride for daily movement. Works well in tight streets and doesn’t feel annoying on short trips. Weekend outings stay simple, and every ride feels manageable without extra effort or stress.
