By launching the Platina 110 ABS motorcycle, Bajaj Auto marks a new era in the 100-110cc segment because the motorcycle is the first in its class to ever feature the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
This innovative system stands to reinforce Bajaj’s commitment to enhancing rider safety and control during hard braking—an apt and much-needed feature for the daily commuter on busy, unpredictable roads.
A Look at the New Bajaj Platina 110 ABS
The Bajaj Platina 110 ABS at ₹72,2240 (ex-showroom, Delhi) is India’s most affordable motorcycle with ABS. An upgrade from the conventional Combined Braking System (CBS), this means advanced safety becomes the prerogative of the budget segment.
Engine and Mileage
The Platina 110 ABS uses a 115.45cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with a maximum output of 8.6 PS at 7,000 RPM and 9.81 Nm at 5,000 RPM with the help of a 5-speed transmission. All this while, it remains significantly fuel-efficient with an approximate mileage of roughly 70-75 km/l. Under ideal riding conditions, it might even return around 86 km/l- making it one of the top contenders from the point of view of daily economical bikes.
Enhanced Safety with ABS
The single-channel ABS combined with a 240mm front disc brake is the most highlighted feature of the new Platina 110. The ABS-fitted model means stability and control during hard braking with a promising significant decline in the chance of skidding on a rather unpredictable urban road. According to Bajaj’s internal studies, over 90% of commuter riders face an average of one situation of demand for panic braking in a month. Hence this addition becomes super-relevant.
Comfort and Practicality
True to the name Platina, this new avatar cares for the rider’s comfort. Long-travel telescopic front forks and rear Nitrox shock absorbers aid in the easy absorption of potholes and rough terrain. The wide cushioned seat is designed for long-distance comfort, while other conveniences such as a halogen headlamp with LED DRL, alloy wheels, and tubeless tires make this a brilliant companion for city riding.
Modern features on the digital speedo include gear position indication, ABS status, and gear guidance for better rider control and awareness as they are on the go.
Styling and Color Options
The Platina 110 ABS comes in three color options—Ebony Black, Cocktail Wine Red, and Saffire Blue—all equally appealing and allowing some level of individualization on the part of the commuter.
Final Words
Bajaj Platina 110 ABS is not just another commuter bike; it is a statement for affordable two-wheeler safety. With the introduction of ABS into this segment, Bajaj has taken a step toward road safety and, in so doing, proved that advanced features need not cost an arm and a leg. With a unique ability to offer performance, mileage, comfort, and, now, impeccable safety, Platina 110 ABS is an attractive proposition for the Indian commuter.
