All are complimenting Bajaj. But we need to also praise Vanaz for their incredible CNG kit innovations. These guys have kits for Activa and Jupiter already! And for people complaining it is after market, Bajaj is using the same company on this bike.

This bike will fit NICELY in any enthusiast garage tbh. Perfect for city rides while the bigger bikes are for weekend rides and touring or track. I'm definitely keeping an eye out for this thing
Exactly! And for delivery services guys as well. Nobody is looking to ride a bike at over 60 kmph in cities anyway. The point about Enthusiast is very correct, I personally have a New Triumph 400, Himmy 450, my Dad's RE 350 Classic, A second Honda CB 650R, and this will fit perfectly for me.
Then company will consider this model as a failure and stop this model. It doesn't matter how long the travel is going to be but it starts when you take your first step.
Respect for Bajaj to actually thinking about, spending in reasearch and coming up with a great solution for the masses. .It does solve a problem rather than just being a fancy ride! I would love to see a family scooter like TVS Jupiter use this trick and I will happily spend on something like that
Really great video guys👏👏👏 Rishad, my man, constantly explaining things about the motorcycle, with closeups and B rolls of the motorcycle while he is talking, no stupid video montages with shit rap/upbeat music, no distraction, just to the point. Please adopt this format for your future videos. Thanks guys.
absolutely spot-on! the only motorcycle review I deliberately search for. and as a copywriter myself, I am fascinated by his content. He knows the machines and he definitely has the words to express himself and the most impressive aspect is that he knows how WE understand. Through and through the best reviewer, and although I quite like the simple and clean nature of the editing, I do kind of wish sometimes that these machines got a little more cinematic seconds just so they are properly introduced to us. But the best reviewer anywhere.
People riding this bike will spend longer timms on road, bajaj should introduce abs to this bike, be it from the platina 110, That will make this a complete complete package. & I believe Bajaj *will* surely launch that.. Bajaj.. pls pls empower safety of our Gig- workers .. Thanks Bajaj
Fantastic review of the Fantastic bike! If rural areas get the CNG stations nearby then this will be a bigger hit than any other commuter motorcycle ever made. The company has done its job. It is for the government to lay the CNG pipeline to far and flung areas if they want to see more number of cleaner vehicles on the road. It would be interesting to see if other bike manufacturers like Hero, Honda and TVS would bring similar products in the market. But credit must be given to BAJAJ for what they have done before anyone else could do in the world of automobiles. The final concern is will the CNG prices would stay at their current level or will the government increase the tax rates on it making it as expensive as petrol in which case the frugality aspect of this bike will be less appealing.
What savings will I get compared to 100cc bike? I can buy splendor for half this price.. performance wise 100cc bike will be equivalent to 125cc cng bike..
I can already see aftermarket crash guard makers making one with a fuel canister holder like those made for touring bikes. Kudos to Bajaj and Vanaz for this project. The next evolution will be hybrid motorcycles. Cause if there's one country that can beat the Japanese at making hybrid motorcycles, it's India.
Three questions 1 . Are there points to screw side luggage box ( dikki ) on right side ,? 2 . Tyres . Are the tubeless? And how much broad ? 3 . Does price of motorcycle include insurance and registration?
Nice Video... Very Useful Information.... I've a small doubt... I've a CNG car of CNG Tank capacity of 10kg, but usually it will get 8-8.5kg What about this bike? Is it getting 2 kgs? Please mention
Really appreciate the review! Excellent coverage and in depth analysis at a very good pace. Even if I may not buy this motorcycle it sure sets a standard on how vehicles should be reviewed! 👍
Okay Three questions: 1) Why sixteen inch wheels? 2) How hard is it to pick up after a fall since all the weight lies in the tank up top. 3) Is there a difference in exhaust/engine sound between petrol and CNG?
1. What do you even mean 2. It weighs only 150kilos shouldn't be that difficult to pick up 3. As a person who owns a cng car there is a very slight difference in sound between cng and petrol
@@swaggychicken. Commuter bikes normally have 17-18 inch wheels, and they have used 16 inch wheels for this bike. I can't understand why, Is it to decrease seat height by an inch? And secondly i know it's not heavy but most bikes have their center of gravity much lower so lifting them becomes easier but this bike has a 16 kg tank right on top of the frame.
@@mustafadudhwala7278 yeah probably to reduce height According to the review he said it's a very neutral handling motorcycle and even logically you can't have a bike with a high centre of gravity because it would be impossible to ride So it is safe to assume that Bajaj has engineered it to have a normal centre of gravity
Seems what you save in fuel you spend on maintenence , more parts, more filters, more certification , and considering bajaj they will bring out versions like mobile phones that parts like wiring kits and colour specific body panels will be hard to source
Fuel to Air ratio could be off if the higher RPMs are a thing and the stalling as well maybe Bajaj can look into this as this could mean that bike burns more fuel than it should
Nicely Explanation and oylther stuff I was wondering about. However, I might have loved if the Explanation would have done in the open environment instead of studio.
India is poor. There is hardly any market of superbikes and expensive cars here. Do you have any idea how much the per-capita income of India is compared to China or the other emerging economies?

it is the fitment..........which in aftermarket is not that perfect in a car it may be tolerable but it's not safe to install in a motorcycle
@@TheZenith790 It's totally safe and certified. Vanaz is a trusted brand.
Exactly I bought 2nd maestro to get the conversion done
@@TheZenith790 How can you say it's not safe when there has been no incident whatsoever ?
@@TheZenith790 kuch bhi! Tyres are prone to burst so no vehicles should have after market tyres.
People worried about safety of bike, but rides without helmet on wrong side while talking on the phone.
Yup and the same people won't pay 4000 extra for dual channel abs😂

Cng the new Hybrids of motorcycling world !!!
Wait for Royal Enfield. They are actually going to bring Hybrid.
India cheated the value of CNG and jumped onto EVs . Thanks to Bajaj for continuing the CNG tribe.
As a motor enthusiast , i request all my beloved riders to wait for atleast 3 months before going for a buy ❤
If everyone were to do that, no one would buy this bike for 3 months. 😁

What savings will I get compared to 100cc bike? I can buy splendor for half this price.. performance wise 100cc bike will be equivalent to 125cc cng bike..
How does it hold up in traffic jams? Will the heat build up affect the gas tank?

This is the first version of a new technology for bikes in India. Do not jump the ship and buy it. Patience is key.
It still makes sense to buy an eV unless you are riding a very long distance in one go. Very complicated engineering. But kudos for attempting that

I love every innovation by every Indian brands especially if those innovations work...💪😎
I have only one question. Is this the MotorInc studio ?
This makes me proud
India has managed to make something out of scratch
Nice Video...
Very Useful Information....
I've a small doubt...
I've a CNG car of CNG Tank capacity of 10kg, but usually it will get 8-8.5kg
What about this bike? Is it getting 2 kgs? Please mention
Aye, nice review mate! Loved the details.
I have been riding CNG Bike already since 2020.
My Activa 5g have been modified to fit the CNG Kit and it also runs on both CNG and Petrol.
CNG prices are 87 per kg, not Rs 75, only few bunks give it at that rate, anyway great work by Bajaj.
If it heats up or blasts - the first things that go are your family jewels.
Cng has burning temp of 550°c
Excellent review! Thank you Rishaad for making it so easy to understand with point by point explanation!! 👍

Good video, Autocar do make so informative videos.
Fuel to Air ratio could be off if the higher RPMs are a thing and the stalling as well maybe Bajaj can look into this as this could mean that bike burns more fuel than it should
Bajaj should have used a composite cylinder for CNG that would have reduced alot of weight and those cylinders are blast proof too.
why bajaj not made a CNG scooter instead of the bike ?

Man, even Messi is taken aback by this bike.

Can we shrink the Hybrid Petrol-Electric system enough to fit in a two-wheeler someday?
commendable work by bajaj engineering team
10:50 Suddenly Chernobyl
100km for 100₹ is not bad.
Should’ve covered the range aspect also
All this will be accurate if CNG prices remain like this for next three years. Last year it increased like 30% in half an year.
Thank you Bajaj for making India look poorer than what it is. This will surely make foreign manufacturers launch big bikes in India.
India is poor. There is hardly any market of superbikes and expensive cars here. Do you have any idea how much the per-capita income of India is compared to China or the other emerging economies?
Whar do you even mean by this? How did he make it look poorer
And India is poor
Love your videos man

इस्को ,भैय्या चलाते वक्त फोन पे बात कर सकते है ना, कही मिस कॉल तो नही लग जायेगा ,static charge effect🔥💥😂
Why is rear tyre size 16 inches. I think for the convince of removing CNG tank.
Looks of commuter bike don’t really appeal me. But this bike looks really good with the exposed frame. Haves kind of a Hasqy look.
Doing the sound check with background music playing still is criminal. Expected better from Autocar...😐
