We have already covered that the world’s first CNG motorcycle is already in the works. However, we did not know when it will be launched. Rajiv Bajaj, confirmed the launch date of the revolutionary CNG motorcycle. The launch is scheduled for the 18th of June, 2024. The motorcycle will most likely be called the ‘Bruzer’.
First CNG Motorcycle – A Game Changer
The upcoming CNG motorcycle is anticipated to be a game-changer, particularly when it comes to fuel efficiency. With CNG prices being considerably lower than petrol, riders can expect substantial savings on their daily commutes. The motorcycle is likely to offer performance similar to that of a 110cc petrol-powered bike.
Bajaj Bruzer Design and Features
The Bajaj Bruzer will likely feature a minimalistic commuter motorcycle design. It could get a long and flat single-piece seat to fit in the CNG cylinder underneath it. To access the CNG tank’s valve, there will be a large panel gap on the fuel tank that will probably open up like a lid. Also, the bike will likely get a small petrol tank for emergencies.
The bike is expected to get a raised handlebar which is also braced and comes fitted with hand guards. The gearbox would have a heel and toe shifter and the bike could comes with mid-set footpegs. The handlebar footpeg position should ensure a comfortable, upright riding posture.
Pricing and Competition
The Bajaj Bruzer is expected to get a price tag of about INR 80,000 (ex-showroom). Upon launch, it won’t have any direct rivals. Alternatives will be other 100-110cc fuel-efficient bikes such as the Hero Splendor Plus, TVS Radeon, Honda Shine 100, and also Bajaj Platina 110.
