The Bajaj Platina 110 ABS was led out. Tune into its notable features, mileage, reviews, and competitors on this safety-oriented commuter motorcycle.
Bajaj Platina 110 ABS was a pioneer for the commuter bike segment. With its best in class safety features and superior ride quality, it won hearts of many riders across India. Yet its retirement had fans speculating over its legacy and the factors that led to this decision.
Exceptional Features of Bajaj Platina 110 ABS
One of the remarkable features of the Bajaj Platina 110 ABS was its availability of single-channel ABS in the 110cc segment. In doing so, it ensured better braking performance in various conditions. With Nitrox suspension thrown in, the bike was a promise of a smooth and comfortable ride – the perfect colleague for long commutes. Moreover, its high mileage of 70-75 kmpl firmly established it as a low-cost option capable of attracting budget riders.
Bajaj Platina 110 ABS Discontinued: Why?
The removal of Platina 110 ABS from Bajaj’s race came for various reasons. However, it would come under pressure from models that offered the now mandatory Combi Brake System (CBS) at a lower price. The addition of ABS Tech was a little more controversial. With its high mileage of 70-75 kmpl, it also became the go to motorcycle for anyone on a budget.
What Riders Loved: User Reviews and Feedback
There were a few reasons why Bajaj decided to end the life of the Platina 110 ABS. But it had tough competition in the form of models having the requisite Combi Brake System (CBS) that also costed less. And the addition of ABS technology raised its price marginally, the very price-sensitive market was not the best place for it. Bajaj, too, may be shifting focus towards more profitable or futuristic commuter models.
Bajaj Platina 110 ABS users praised its safety, fuel efficiency, and ride quality. It was ideal for daily commuting, the bike was reliable, the maintenance cost was very low. But for the 110cc segment, some considered the ABS technology an overkill, too, which eventually resulted into its low sales performance.
Looking for Alternatives? Here’s What to Consider
If you are feeling the absence of the Platina 110 ABS, do not fear! Some such bikes include the Hero Splendor Plus, Honda Shine and TVS Radeon. Because they don have ABS, their CBS meets safety laws and keeps costs considerate.
Though the Bajaj Platina 110 ABS has parted ways with the market, its legacy as the trailblazer of safety-centric commuter bikes remains unchallenged. It will always be fondly remembered by riders who desired a mixture of affordability and innovation.
