Mr Sarang Kanade, President Motorcycles Business Unit said that “the brand Platina has been known for providing supreme comfort on long rides. The new Platina 125 is designed to enhance the riding repertoire of Indian customers with superior performance through design innovations and twin discbrakes.” Targeted at the using it as a regular commuter bike, Bajaj’s nitrogenated common sense towards mileage combined with contemporary style and reliability.
Design and Build Quality
The Commuter Design Of The Platina 125 Takes A Leaf Out Of Simplicity Is Luxury Kind attention to detail with fuel tank extensions, several aerodynamic body panels and good-looking decals give the product a new shine but nothing too over-the-top. Its long and well cushioned seat will provide you comfort for city rides as well as for those longer stretches. Furthermore, the stiff suspension set-up and high ground clearance make it ideal for tackling rough and uneven roads which may be frequently encountered on semi-urban and rural routes.
Engine Performance and Efficiency
In its essense, the Platina 125 is a vehicle built around its trusty 124.6cc single-cylinder air-cooled motor tuned for maximum fuel efficiency and dependability. That serves up decent in-city power delivery and adequate, if not head-snapping torque for hops down the interstate. And, since the bike comes with Bajaj’s trick engine tuning, it fetches a good milege figure (often north of 60 km/l under favourable conditions), making up for one of the most economical propositions in its segment.
Comfort and Ride Experience
What really has emerged as a selling point for the Platina 125 is its relaxed, comfort-oriented ride quality. This bike has got telescopic front forks and Bajaj hallmark SNS (Spring-in-Spring) rear suspension that works remarkably well on our drastically potholed roads. A tall riding posture together with small seat positioning helps make it manageable for riders of different heights.
Features and Practicality
Thought the Platina 125 leans more towards practical than hi-tech, it gets functional commuter kit like an analogue speedometer, fuel gauge, electric start and large rear-view mirrors. It is simple to drive in the cramped atmosphere and results in fewer times before filling it up with fuel due to adequate fuel tank size.
Price and Value Proposition
Launched recently by Bajaj, the Platina 125 is an offering that fills a gap in the brand’s motorcycle portfolio in India with a price tag to attract budget conscious commuters on two-wheelers. It also low in periodic maintenance cost, gives high mileage and offers a comfortable ride which makes it an intelligent choice for everyday use with long-distance commuting on the external flow.
Final Verdict
Bajaj Platina 125– It immediately looks like it offers only the essentials for an Indian rider — great mileage, ease of use and decent comfort. This is not the fastest or most aggressive machine, but it still ranks high in the 125cc commuter segment by virtue of its low prices of entry, fuss-free ownership costs and commitment to being reliable.
