Bajaj Auto is gearing up to launch its first-ever CNG powered motorcycle in India on July 5th. In a recent teaser video, Bajaj revealed a key feature: a blue toggle switch located on the left-side switch cube. This switch will enable riders to seamlessly switch between petrol and CNG modes.
The upcoming bike, as seen in spy shots, boasts a circular LED headlight, bulb indicators, and a sleek tail-lamp. It also features new 5-spoke alloy wheels, and a long single-piece seat.
Recently, spy shots captured the upcoming Bajaj CNG bike, concealed under heavy camouflage, alongside the Bajaj Platina 110. One of the distinctive features spotted was a horizontally positioned CNG cylinder located beneath its long, flat seat. Images from the spy shots also revealed a significant gap on the fuel tank, indicating it’s designed for accessing the valve of the CNG cylinder. This design suggests a focus on integrating CNG technology while maintaining practicality and accessibility for riders.

Anticipation is high for the new Bajaj CNG bike, which is hoped to feature a 125cc engine to match the performance of 110cc petrol bike, given that CNG engines typically deliver less power. This new model will offer an eco-friendly alternative without direct competition, yet it will stand alongside popular choices like TVS Radeon, Bajaj Platina 110, Honda Shine 100, and Hero Splendor Plus.
