Nothing on the road looks like the Freedom 125, and never has such a new design already become so recognisable. In the few days that we had the bike, numerous onlookers came up to us and asked us about this machine, and they all called it by name. Bajaj, you can save on the promotion and marketing budget. Social media has already done the job for you. That unique headlight, the fork shrouds and that supermoto-rivalling long, flat seat all give the Freedom a fresh design. In some of its brighter colour options the bike will pop even more than usual out on the road.
The Freedom 125 is also a decently feature-rich bike for its class. It has a silent starter and a side-stand cutoff. The top variant gets an LED headlight, front disc and basic Bluetooth for call/SMS alerts on the digital display. The mid variant misses out on the front disc and gets a simpler dash. The base variant has a halogen headlight, skinnier tyres and a smaller rear drum brake.
While this is a youthful design, you can’t say the same for its performance: 9.5hp and 9.7Nm of torque from this ‘sloper’ 124.58cc motor make it the least powerful 125cc commuter out there. Then there’s the fact that 149kg kerb weight is in the ballpark of 150cc commuters, and the result is that Freedom accelerates more like a 100-110cc bike. Something like a Hero Xtreme 125R will leave it behind comfortably, but if you go about comparing performance numbers, you’re missing the point here. Despite the modest spec sheet, in the real world, Freedom’s performance is really not an issue. This is meant to be a practical, mellow, cost-effective commuter, and it does a fine job of that. While ferrying a pillion in CNG mode, you may have to downshift up a slope, but it isn’t a deal breaker.
The riding experience is pretty straightforward, and Bajaj deserves a pat on the back for making this unique thing feel so natural. The brakes, suspension and throttle all work as you’d expect. This motor feels peppier in petrol, and it gets to 60kph a second quicker in petrol as compared to CNG.
But this isn’t an overtly sporty machine by any means, which is actually a plus point here. The Freedom reminds me a lot of the Platina 110 H-Gear, which is a relaxed and mellow commuter. Typical of a bike in this class, the front brake is soft and wooden, but when used with the rear (no ABS here), stopping power is sufficient.
The Bajaj Freedom’s suspension also feels a little strange; it never felt ultra-plush, which is the beauty of such bikes. This is a little disappointing, and while it’s not bad in isolation, it never has an ultra-cushy ride like that of a Splendor or a Shine.
At the end of the day, the Freedom 125’s cost savings are so great that most people will happily overlook these problems. While EVs are undoubtedly cheaper (and cleaner) to run, the battery technology simply isn’t good enough yet to make an EV motorcycle a convincing option. That’s where this CNG bike comes in. The Freedom 125 rids you of the long charging times and range anxiety associated with electric two-wheelers. Priced between Rs 95,000 and Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom), the Freedom 125 has Bajaj’s typical competitive pricing, which only adds to its allure. The deliveries for the Freedom will start with the top variant with the other two variants following shortly after. This bike will hit showrooms in Maharashtra and Gujarat first before other states gradually receive it. The Bajaj Freedom has a few compromises, but none of them is enough to offset the bike’s sheer cost-effectiveness. Now let’s just hope the CNG network expands to meet the burgeoning demand that the Freedom is likely to generate in the coming months.
