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.

[@TheZenith790]

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

[@virajvrooms]

@@TheZenith790 It's totally safe and certified. Vanaz is a trusted brand.

[@ashwinkale6561]

Exactly I bought 2nd maestro to get the conversion done

[@StingSting844]

​@@TheZenith790 How can you say it's not safe when there has been no incident whatsoever ?

[@virajvrooms]

@@TheZenith790 kuch bhi! Tyres are prone to burst so no vehicles should have after market tyres.

[@devanandham6609]

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

[@BlackHawkTejas]

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.

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

[@ikramkamal12]

[@shrirangpatil007]

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.

[@sagarsahiltirkey8784]

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.

[@thealch3myst]

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.

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.

[@amitmiki]

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

[@DayumSonny]

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.

Bajaj should have used a composite cylinder for CNG that would have reduced alot of weight and those cylinders are blast proof too.

[@BLISS_24x7]

They should've made a petrol only version of this bike with 15 liter tank

why bajaj not made a CNG scooter instead of the bike ?

[@ajeyingole7733]

Where I live, there is cng available but not queued.

[@mustafadudhwala7278]

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?

[@swaggychicken.]

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

[@mustafadudhwala7278]

@@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.

[@swaggychicken.]

@@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

[@phoneixfmg]

Quick question i wonder when the cylinder gets leaks and explodes whats safety for rider?🤔🤔

🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 00:00:05 *⚙️ Ventajas del uso de CNG* - El CNG es más económico que la gasolina y produce menos emisiones, - Desafíos técnicos para integrar el sistema CNG en una motocicleta, creando un motor y chasis completamente nuevos. 00:02:10 *🛡️ Seguridad de la motocicleta CNG* - La motocicleta ha superado múltiples pruebas de seguridad, similares a las que se realizan a los automóviles, - Bajaj tiene experiencia con vehículos CNG, lo que aumenta la confianza en este aspecto. 00:04:28 *💰 Eficiencia y costo de operación* - La motocicleta con CNG es extremadamente eficiente, alcanzando hasta 126 km/kg, - Costo por kilómetro es aproximadamente la mitad comparado con una motocicleta de gasolina. 00:06:19 *🚀 Rendimiento y experiencia de manejo* - El rendimiento es modesto debido al bajo poder pero suficiente para la mayoría de usos cotidianos, - CNG vs. gasolina afecta el desempeño, pero la transición de modos es fácil y eficiente. 00:09:32 *🏍️ Experiencia de conducción* - La motocicleta pesa más, pero no altera significativamente la experiencia de manejo, - Comportamiento de suspensión y frenos es básico pero adecuado para una moto económica. 00:11:18 *🎨 Diseño y características* - El diseño extravagante llama la atención y tiene características clásicas y modernas, - Contrastante aspectos como la altura del asiento que puede no ser cómoda para todos. 00:14:19 *🛠️ Requisitos de mantenimiento y prácticas* - Filtros CNG necesitan limpieza y sustitución periódica, - Certificación del tanque cada dos años facilita mantenimiento y garantías de seguridad. 00:15:18 *⌛ Desafíos y perspectiva futura* - Las estaciones de CNG tienen largas filas, lo cual puede ser un problema para los usuarios, - Altura y peso podrían ser un inconveniente para algunos, pero las ventajas de ahorro de costo son considerables.
