It is clear that Bajaj wanted this bike to look both functional and a bit stylish, and they have succeeded in balancing both.
Engine & Performance
Powering the Platina 110 is a 115.45cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine. This engine produces 8.6 PS of power and 9.81 Nm of torque, which is enough for city riding, carrying pillion, and even occasional long rides.
What makes this bike special is the 5-speed gearbox, which is not common in bikes of this segment. The extra gear helps the bike cruise at slightly higher speeds more comfortably and helps with better fuel economy on longer stretches.
The engine is tuned to provide smooth performance with minimum vibrations. Whether you are riding at low speed in traffic or pushing towards its top speed of 90 kmph, the engine remains refined and reliable.
Ride & Handling
The Platina 110 is all about comfort and stability. It gets a Comfortec suspension system which includes telescopic front forks and dual spring-on-spring rear shock absorbers. This setup handles rough Indian roads quite well, offering a smoother ride even over bumps and potholes.
Its lightweight body and wide handlebars make it easy to maneuver in traffic. The riding posture is upright, and the seat height is suitable for most Indian riders. The wider footpegs and long seat also mean the pillion passenger is just as comfortable.
For braking, Bajaj offers a 240mm front disc or drum option and drum brakes at the rear, with CBS (Combined Braking System) for better safety.
