Overview

Introducing the 2022 Bajaj Platina 100ES, a motorcycle that strikes a harmonious balance between practicality and performance, making it a quintessential choice in the allround category. Designed with commuter needs in mind, the Platina 100ES is particularly popular in the bustling streets of India, where efficiency and reliability are paramount. With its robust build and attractive styling, this bike appeals to a wide range of riders—from daily commuters to those seeking a dependable ride for weekend escapades. Under the sleek exterior lies a spirited 102cc air-cooled engine that produces a commendable 7.8 HP at 7500 RPM, along with a torque output of 8.3 Nm at 5500 RPM. This powertrain, paired with a 4-speed gearbox, allows the Platina 100ES to achieve a top speed of 90 km/h (55.9 mph), making it nimble enough for city traffic yet capable for longer journeys. The bike's lightweight frame (119 kg) and a ground clearance of 200 mm provide excellent maneuverability and stability, allowing riders to navigate through crowded streets with ease. The smooth ride is further enhanced by the hydraulic telescopic front suspension and the innovative spring-on-spring rear suspension, which absorbs bumps and imperfections on the road. The 2022 Platina 100ES is packed with features and technology designed to enhance the riding experience. With an electric starter for hassle-free ignition and a fuel capacity of 11 liters, you can enjoy longer rides without frequent stops at the pump. The bike is equipped with an anti-skid braking system for added safety, ensuring reliable stopping power with 130 mm front and 110 mm rear drum brakes. The available color options—ranging from vibrant red to sleek black/silver—allow riders to express their individuality while enjoying the bike's practical design. **

Pros

  • Fuel Efficiency: The Platina 100ES is designed for economical fuel consumption, making it a cost-effective choice for daily commuting.
  • Comfortable Ride: With advanced suspension technology, riders can expect a comfortable experience even on bumpy roads.
  • Stylish Design: The range of color options and modern styling makes this motorcycle visually appealing for riders of all ages.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Use: While great for city commuting, the engine may feel underpowered for extended high-speed highway riding.
  • Drum Brakes: The reliance on drum brakes, though effective, may not offer the stopping power or responsiveness found in disc brake systems.
  • Basic Instrumentation: The bike's dashboard may lack the advanced features and digital displays found in more premium models, which could be a downside for tech-savvy riders.
