The Bajaj Platina 110 changes the game on what a commuter bike should be like. Its lightweight frame, development of 115 cc engine and leading consumption of fuel transforms daily commute rides into smooth and dependable journeys. Its minimal cost, comfortable seat, and well-accessible power have made it a favorite amongst riders as all trips to city streets and country lanes are made easy with its usage.
Iconic Design with Robust Build
The design of the Platina 110 shares a balance between use and plainness. Its classic profile also includes a pulled-back fuel tank, narrowed side cases and slightly widened rear fender. Long-lasting metal body work and a rigorous long rear mudguard assures many years of efficient performance. The near-understated but assertive appearance is rounded out by Slimline alloy wheels and a small-footprint headlamp cluster.
Smooth Performance and Class-Leading Mileage
It has an air-cooled single-cylinder, 115 c.c. engine that was geared towards developing low-end torque and economical use. It produces effortless acceleration to a standstill with 8.6 PS and 9.8 Nm of power. It also boasts a claimed fuel saving of 75 km/l with standard test conditions which saves the riders hundreds of their monthly bills in terms of fuel consumption. A 4 speed gearbox makes the shifts light and very precise.
Comfort and Rider-Friendly Ergonomics
Although Platina 110 wants to be sporty, most of its characteristics are focused on the comfort of the rider. Large, cushioned seat can support two adults with no difficulty, and high handlebars help to maintain an upright posture. The imperfections on the road are cushioned with telescopic front forks and 5-step adjustable shock absorber in the rear. Fatigue is kept at bay whether going through the traffic or on an open road.
Easier use and Safety
Bajaj has fitted Platina 110 with commuter oriented features to be used in everyday riding. The speed, odometer, trip meter and live mileage are shown on a semi-digital instrument cluster. Safety is improved by a handy kill switch on the engine and a rear reflector centrally located. Front and rear hydraulically operated drum brakes provide a predictable effect and stable control.
Price and Fuel Economy
The most solid advantage of Platina 110 is price. Prices begin at 56,000 rupees ex-showroom, for the drum-brake version, and 58,000 rupees ex-showroom, in the front-disc version. Short maintenance sessions, reasonable service fees and a high level of mileage keep the bottom line as low as possible.
