Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear is one of the most popular commuter motorcycles in the South Asian region. This bike has become this popular mainly because of its price and quality.

Bajaj is one of the most well-known motorcycle brands in the South Asian region (source).

Key Features:

The Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear is one of the rarest motorcycles. The rarity is because this bike gets a 5th gear. However, Bajaj has planned to call the 5th gear “H Gear.” This makes the bike tourable. Furthermore, this means that the fifth gear allows the bike to get up to around 90kmph. 

The Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear comes with an Anti-Skid braking system. This means the bike’s front brake will keep it from skidding during complicated/sudden braking situations. In addition, the Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear also comes with CBS, which allows smooth and safe braking.

The Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear seat 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 will enable 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 bike has a fuel tank of 11 liters, which means that you might also forget the last time you filled up your tank.

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 compared to most 110cc bikes, but this keeps the bike stable at high speeds. This bike also has a very short wheelbase of 1255mm, making it relatively compact and stable at the corners. 

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 entirely unexpected at this price range. The engine pumps out around 8.6PS at 7000rpm and 9.81Nm of torque at 5000rpm. The power is quite adequate compared to other bikes of this range.

The front-wheel gets a 240mm (most significant of its class) Anti-Skid disc brake, while the rear wheel gets a 110mm drum. The front disc increases the braking performance of the bike quite well. The rear brake may not be the best, but it is good enough. However, the addition of the CBS has made sure of this bike’s braking to be the top of its class.

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 it would have been better if thicker tires. Thicker tires would have helped the bike to stay more stable. However, these tires will be adequate for the bike.
