autoX Awards 2024: Bajaj Freedom 125 Performance, Quality
2024 autoX Awards: Typically, high-performance and premium motorcycles take the spotlight in our annual big test. However, the Bajaj Freedom 125, while neither the fastest nor the prettiest, stands out, stands out and garners quite a bit of attention. Why? There are two main reasons for this – its quirky design and dual-fuel technology. It is the world's first CNG motorcycle and offers significant cost savings of up to 50% compared to standard gasoline-powered commuter bikes.

New Bajaj Pulsar N125 first ride review: Segment-ready
We get very excited every time a new Pulsar comes out. After all, many of us have dreamed of owning a Pulsar since we were kids.
