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)
