Bajaj Freedom 125 Same Price Other Options

The Bajaj Freedom 125 was launched in India quite some time ago and in that time, it’s gained quite some acceptance around the country. And that is despite a lot of the consumers having doubts about the safety of owning a CNG bike. That said, there still are people who aren’t impressed with the Freedom 125 and think it’s overpriced, for what effectively is a slow, basic commuter. If you think that as well, here are 5 two-wheelers that lie in the same price range. You can think about these instead of the Bajaj CNG bike: 

Bajaj Pulsar 125 - Rs 94,093 onwards 

Want something that’s a bit more fun to ride? You should think about the Pulsar 125. Now in its revamped version, the Bajaj Pulsar 125 now has more features, looks better and has always been quite fun to ride for a 125cc bike. So if you want something sporty and fun while retaining that nostalgia factor, all at a price that’s on par with the Freedom, if not lower, you could seriously think about the baby Pulsar. 

Suzuki Access 125 TFT ABS variant - Rs 1.03 lakh

We can’t talk about fun and sportiness without talking about the access 125. It’s one of the OG fun scooters and till date, it’s incredibly fun to ride. While it’s not out and out sporty as say the TVS Ntorq 125, it’s still a very fun to ride scooter. In its latest generation, the scooter also has a TFT console and ABS variant, and that’s the one we bring here. ABS is a godsent on our roads and we’re glad even scooters are starting to get it in India. So if you want the decked-up top variant of the Access 125, you can still get it for less money than the Freedom 125. 

TVS Raider TFT Double Disc variant - Rs 1.04 lakh

Taking the fun quotient up one more notch is the tvs raider. The Raider showed us that 125cc bikes can be a lot of fun too, and it really is quite an all-rounder. The Raider is smooth and peppy, handles beautifully, feels light and has a lot of features, all of which while being incredibly fuel efficient. In fact, in our tests, we regularly saw mileage figures of above 70kmpl. So if you want the best of both worlds: sportiness and fuel efficiency, the Raider 125 does it the best in this segment. 

Honda CB125 Hornet - Rs 1.15 lakh

The Freedom 125 is a good-looking bike that also looks quite different. There’s no bike that looks quite like the Freedom. And if that’s something that you find appealing, you might quite like the Honda CB125 Hornet as well. The CB125 isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, for the way it looks has polarised opinions. But you cannot deny the fact that it will grab a lot of eyeballs and turn heads like few other bikes can in this segment. Apart from that, it has a smooth enough engine, a reasonable amount of features and the revered Honda badge. 

TVS Ntorq 150 TFT - Rs 1.22 lakh 

Funnily, after all these sporty bikes, the most expensive two-wheeler on this list is a sporty scooter. The TVS Ntorq 150 is sporty in all the right ways and does feel like a good upgrade over the Ntorq 125. It’s feature loaded, fast and corners like few other scooters can. So if you want the fun and thrills of a motorcycle but with the conveniences of a scooter, you could definitely think about the Ntorq 150.
