Bajaj CNG bike technical details revealed via design blueprints

The CNG motorcycle should be able to cut down on operating and fuel costs by up to 50-65%.

Bajaj Auto is gearing up to launch a CNG-powered motorcycle in India next month. While the company hasn’t shared any information yet, leaked design blueprints have revealed new technical details of the bike.

As per the leaked images, Bajaj Auto’s CNG motorcycle will be based on a double cradle frame. The petrol tank appears to have been reshaped to make space for the CNG tank positioned under the seat.

The bike has a ‘sloper engine’ with the cylinder sitting almost parallel to the rear swingarm. This configuration helps liberate space for all the fuel systems and other ancillaries. The third image shows the tubular chassis of the CNG bike. It shows additional braces and a subframe that holds the CNG tank.

Reports suggest that the upcoming Bajaj CNG bike will use a 110cc single-cylinder engine. The company claims that it should be able to cut down on operating and fuel costs by up to 50-65%.
