Bajaj Auto has launched the BS-VI CT and
Platina series motorcycles in India. The BS-VI range is equipped with
Electronic Injection (EI) system that replaces the carburettor tech of the old
(BS-IV) motorcycles. Bajaj Auto along with leading component partners has
designed a unique EI system at its R&D centre. The EI system is claimed to
deliver improved mileage and make the engine run smooth. Bajaj Auto also claims
that the EI system is easy to maintain.
The BS-VI CT range, similar to the old
(BS-IV) series is available with two engine options – 100 cc and 110 cc. The
CT110 now features a new LED DRL that adds a premium touch to the vehicle. The
company has also added a bash plate to the CT110 to enhance the protection to
the engine on rough terrains. The CT range is available with prices starting
from INR 40,794*, which makes it the most affordable BS-VI commuter motorcycle
in the Indian market.
The Platina series, too, is available in
two variants – 100 cc and 110 cc H-Gear. The BS-VI Platina range is available
from INR 47,264*. The BS-VI Platina 100 Electric Start is available at INR
54,797*, which is about INR 6,368 more than the old (BS-IV) model's price.
The budget-friendly hardware
specifications on both motorcycles include conventional telescopic forks at the
front and twin-sided springs at the back to perform the shock absorption tasks.
All motorcycles and their respective variants listed in this post come with
drum brakes as standard, except the Platina 110 H-Gear, which can be had with a
disc brake at the front (and a drum brake at the rear) optionally.
