As per reports, Bajaj has dispatched over 80,000 units of the Freedom 125 to dealers since the bike’s launch. However, as per VAHAN data only 34,000 units have been sold so far suggesting that considerable stocks could still be with dealers. The downward price revision could be a move to help clear dealer inventories ahead of the new year though there is no official communication from Bajaj.

The Freedom 125 remains the only motorcycle of its type in the Indian market offered with a bi-fuel petrol-CNG powertrain. The USP for the motorcycle is its promised lower running costs compared to traditional petrol-powered commuter motorcycles with CNG long having been a more pocket friendly fuel option.
