Bajaj Platina 110 remains the bike of choice when it comes to a rider looking for the best fuel efficiency without compromising comfort. This commuter bike, updated in 2024, celebrates the marriage of functional with modern perks, ensuring an easy ride to and fro the office on weekdays, perhaps a carefree spin on the highway over the weekend.
Striking New Design Language
The styling of Platina 110 has gained a fine touch from Bajaj but retains the proportions of a true commuter. The features include an LED headlamp with DRLs, chrome accents on the fuel tank, and the latest graphics. All these have improved the bike’s premium presence on the road. The long seat is an ergonomic delight to ride for both rider and pillion all day long, while ground clearance of 135mm easily tackles all kinds of rough roads.
Fuel Sipping Engine Performance
This engine has undergone a series of improvements over the years, with the independent development by Bajaj being lauded: the 115.45cc DTS-i engine produces a commendable output of 8.6 bhp and peak torque of 9.81 Nm. Among the features that keep it standing in a class of its own remains the dazzling figure of 70 km/l mileage in this category (company claimed), facilitated by optimized combustion and reduced friction technology. In other words, combining the best engine output with a smooth 5-speed gearbox, it can cruise relaxedly along with highways at lower RPMs, while reducing rider fatigue on long-haul trips.
Comfort-Oriented Ride Dynamics
Bajaj’s very own spring-in-spring rear suspension on the Platina 110 endows it with the ability to absorb bumps. Long wheelbase and upright riding position thus allow the rider to enjoy a stable ride free of vibrations. Unique durable 17-inch alloy wheels paired with a set of wider 110/90 rear tires assist in traction and stability over variable road conditions.
Commuter-Centric Features
Upgrades, including the gear position indicator in the semi-digital instrument cluster, fit into Bajaj’s practical outlook for the 2024 Platina 110. On another note, with tubeless tires and a maintenance-free battery aiding the reduction of ownership-related headaches, the optional single-channel ABS comes handy for the safety-first rider preparing for emergency braking.
Pricing
With an ex-showroom price between ₹68,000-₹75,000, the Platina 110 undercuts nearly all 110cc rivals and manages to offer much better mileage. With a wide service network, spare parts support, and low spare parts disposition, Bajaj has kept the running costs to a minimum, estimated at only ₹1,500-₹2,000 for the annual service.
Conclusion
In India, the Bajaj Platina 110 has retained its title for no-nonsense, economical transportation. The 2024 update makes it even more attractive, mixed with Bajaj’s reliability and just a modern touch to suit the sensibilities of the modern rider. For those who favor running costs and comfort over sheer performance, the Platina 110 makes an unchallengeable case.
