The Splendor Plus comes with 5-year warranty and gets 5-step adjustable rear suspension. The motorcycle is priced at Rs. 72,420 (ex-showroom, Mumbai) making it the most expensive two-wheeler in the segment. The bike is powered by a 100-cc engine that produces 7.91 bhp @ 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm @ 6,000 rpm.
Bajaj Platina 100
The Bajaj Platina is the most affordable motorcycle offered by the manufacturer. The two-wheeler has been in the Indian markets for quite some time now. It has received many updates over the years and comes with features like LED DRLs and electric start. The bike is powered by a 100 cc mill that produces 7.9 bhp @ 7,500 rpm and 8.34 Nm @ 5,500 rpm.
