Bajaj’s new CNG motorcycle is spotted testing in Pune earlier last week. The motorcycle with CNG power is confirmed by Rajiv Bajaj and now the launch date is also set. The motorcycle here is heavily disguised, the portions appear unclear. However, upon closer inspection, the new test model shows similarities to the current Bajaj CT125X. This could be CNG model because there is heavy camouflage. The CNG tank is said to be larger than a fuel tank, hence the huge seat below it is visible. The CNG could debut all new design based but based on either the CT or Platina mechanical platform series because it is a robust unit. However, for CNG the platform will go under heavy changes.
The test mule have things in common with the CT125X. The motorcycle has a round headlight flanked by turn signals with large bulbs and a licence plate on top. Both models also have the typical handlebars with stabilizer. While the CT125X’s front springs have gaiters, the test mule’s components are covered and that too could receive a similar rubber component.
The engine cover, the sari cover with integrated footrest and the rear wheel cover are also seen. Additionally, the engine’s appears to have fins, so the test mule is likely powering an air-cooled engine. Although the wheel design is different, the size and shape of the front disc are the same on the test mule and the CT125X.
This could be a CNG CT125X in the making. Also, reports suggest this could be a CNG powered engine in 100cc, 125cc and 160cc format as well. However, higher capacity CNG powered motor could be reserved for exports only. A 12 PS 125cc motorcycle could be ideal for people who in India to begin with. These bikes could be aimed at Commerical and fleet sales as well, where electric is yet to catch up entirely.
