There’s a new Bajaj Platina 100ES in the Indian market. The updated commuter has been launched at a very competitive price which makes it the most affordable motorcycle currently on sale in the country to feature an electric start system.
The new Platina 100ES has the same
silhouette as the other models in this lineup. However, for the updated
variant, Bajaj Auto has included a set of newly designed white alloy wheels
which has also been used by the company in the soon-to-be-launched Platina 110
ABS. These wheels use tubeless tyres. The new motorcycle also comes with
updated rearview mirrors.
It is to be noted that the 2021 Bajaj
Platina 100ES does not get gas-filled absorbers at the rear. It uses
spring-in-spring twin shock absorbers that handle the suspension duties at the
back. Powering the new Platina 100ES is a familiar 102cc single-cylinder BS6
engine that comes with electronic injection. This motor is capable of producing
7.9PS of max power at 7500rpm and 8.3Nm of peak torque at 5500rpm. For the
transmission, Bajaj Auto is providing a 4-speed gearbox.
The 2021 Bajaj Platina 100ES has been
priced at INR 53,920*. It will be available in two colours - Cocktail Wine Red
and Ebony Black with Silver decals - at all authorised dealership across the
country.
