Bajaj explains why Freedom CNG tank is 2 kgs and not more to give higher range

Bajaj uses high-quality PESO-certified CNG tanks, made from thick sheet metal. The CNG tank weighs 16 kg, probably the second heaviest single component of the bike after the engine. Add 2 kg of CNG and the weight reaches 18 kg. With the heavy-duty CNG tank and supporting safety equipment, Freedom 125 has a kerb weight of 149 kg. Adding more weight would have impacted the bike’s ride dynamics. Fuel efficiency could also have been reduced.
