The seat of the Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear is long enough for two healthy people to ride on it comfortably. The seat is also very soft, which allows it to be a comfortable ride. The upright handlebar and suspension setup also allows it to be comfortably maneuvered in small spaces.

The bike has a ground clearance of 200mm, which makes it completely immune from all speed bumps.

The height, length, width, and weight of the Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear are 1100mm, 2006mm, 713mm, and 122kg respectively. The bike is not very light when compared to most 110cc bikes, but this keeps the bike stable at high speeds.

Engine and Transmission:

The Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear has a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, and 115.45cc engine. The engine is fuel injected and air-cooled, which is completely unexpected at this price range.

The Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear has alloy wheels. It has 80/100-17 and 80/100-17 tire setup. The tires are okay for a 110cc bike, but the bike would have been better if it had thicker tires. Thicker tires would have helped the bike to stay more stable. However, these tires will be adequate for the bike.
