-World’s first CNG bike
-Likely to be launched in two variants
The highly awaited Bajaj CNG bike is all set to be unveiled on 5 July. This is the world’s first production CNG motorcycle. The bike is likely to be called the Bajaj Bruzer and is expected to be launched in two variants.
The Bajaj CNG bike has been spotted testing multiple times and the images reveal quite a few details about the bike. The design, for instance, mixes form and function quite effectively. This is evident from the shape of the fuel tank, the long seat and the minimal body panels all around.
The blueprints of the Bajaj CNG bike revealed the unique chassis setup of the bike. Bajaj has managed to optimise space by placing the CNG tank along the length of the bike, and using a ‘sloper’ engine design. A small petrol tank is also present to offer extra range and serve as a backup, should one run out of CNG.
The specifications of the engine are still under wraps but word is that it could be a 125cc, commuter engine. The engine will be paired with a five-speed gearbox.
Bajaj is also likely to launch the CNG bike in two variants, one for the urban areas and a more rugged version for rural India. The latter will have a sump guard, knuckle guard and a handlebar brace to be able to take a beating while being ridden on poor or even non-existent terrain.
Bajaj may also reveal the price of the CNG bike at the unveil event. The bike is expected to be priced around Rs 80,000, ex-showroom.
