The Platina 110 is Bajaj’s solution to capture the commuter bike market in India which is currently dominated by the Hero Splendor Plus. Bajaj Platina 110’s latest variant, the ES ABS, has been the talk of the town for being the first bike in its class to offer the single-channel ABS.
So, is the ABS enough to surpass the dominance of Splendor Plus? Let’s find out!
Combining top safety features and comfort, Bajaj has introduced a holistic commuter bike. Upgrading its portfolio, Bajaj Auto has levelled up its game in the commuter market by offering the first bike with the Anti-lock Braking System.
It is commendable how over the years, Bajaj has regularly upgraded the Platina brand, which was initially launched in 2006. Although it never dominated the commuter bike market like the Hero splendour did, Bajaj gave its consumer a choice of better mileage and comfort.
Speaking specifically about the Bajaj Platina 110, there are three variants, with ES ABS being the latest. It succeeded the H-Gear Disc and the 5-Speed Drum.
Being a commuter bike, Bajaj Platina 110 boasts comfortable seats which can easily accommodate two passengers and even 3 in times of emergency. The new Platina is hailed for its comfort and mileage. Bajaj Platina 110’s competitors offer mileage near 70 kmpl, the Bajaj bike claims to give an extended mileage of 84 kmpl.
With its large, comfortable seat and excellent initial and mid-range pickup, the Platina 110 is an ideal bike for long drives and cruising. As expected, the top end is not very refined, which causes the engine to make heavy noise and transmit less power, but it’s understandable as Platina is a commuter bike.
The engine is refined to offer great initial and mid-range pickup. That’s where you should try to drive more often. On average, you can cruise at 60-65 kmph with the engine running smoothly.
Bajaj has continued the use of the 115.45 cc engine, which was also present in the previous variant. Hence, the power and the torque generated remain identical, measuring 8.4bhp at 7,000rpm and 9.81Nm at 5,000rpm, respectively.
The one feature which makes it stand out in its class has to be the top-quality safety upgrade Bajaj has provided to Platina 110. Most bikers would assume Bajaj might have discontinued the combi-braking system after introducing the ABS. Contrary to this popular opinion, the Platina 110 ABS features both the ABS and the combi-braking system, which makes it the best choice for bikers who prioritise safety.
Another thing you must keep in mind is that most commuter bikes have thin tires. Hence, the grip you receive is often not that strong, especially on off roads. This is where Platina 110 ABS can be a game-changer with its ABS and combi-braking system, as the former would provide enough grip to stop the bike at your convenience.
