With its new braking system, Platina 110 ABS has become the first bike in the 110 cc segment to get ABS. As per the government rules, bikes under the 125 cc segment are required to get CBC as standard whereas higher capacity bikes need to have mandatory ABS.
Launching the bike in the Indian market, Bajaj Auto’s Sarang Kanade said, “India accounts for the highest road deaths across the world with 2-wheelers accounting for 45% of these accidents. Our understanding of the Indian consumer suggests that commuter riders face panic braking scenarios frequently. With the new Platina 110 ABS, we want to offer riders complete control in unforeseen braking scenarios.”
The new Platina 110 is powered by a 115.45 cc single-cylinder engine mated with a 5-speed gearbox. The unit is tuned to produce a power output of 8.44 bhp and 9.81 Nm of peak torque. The bike gets an 11-litre fuel tank. The new Platina 110 features front telescopic forks and dual shock absorbers at the rear. The bike rides on 17-inch alloys and offers a ground clearance of 200 mm.
