New Bajaj Platina CNG : In a strategic move for the Indian two-wheeler market, Bajaj Auto has launched the Platina CNG, a motorcycle designed to tackle rising fuel costs without compromising on modern features. This new offering provides a compelling answer for daily commuters who seek both economy and a touch of premium comfort in their ride.
A Design Focused on Everyday Practicality
Understanding the needs of the everyday rider, Bajaj has crafted the Platina CNG with a balanced blend of modern aesthetics and functional design. The bike features a long, comfortable seat, ensuring a pleasant experience for both the rider and a pillion on long commutes. Practicality is further enhanced with ample space for storage, making it a reliable partner for daily errands and city travel.
Seamless Dual-Fuel Technology for Maximum Savings
The heart of this motorcycle is its innovative dual-fuel system. Powered by a 124.58cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the Platina CNG allows riders to switch effortlessly between petrol and CNG modes with a simple handlebar-mounted switch. In CNG mode, the engine generates 9.5 PS of power and 9.7 Nm of torque, with a top speed of 90.5 km/h. The standout feature, however, is its remarkable claimed mileage of up to 90 km/kg, promising significant savings on fuel expenses.
Built for Confidence and Control on Indian Roads
Prioritizing rider safety and comfort, Bajaj has equipped the Platina CNG with a capable braking and suspension setup. It features a front disc brake and a rear drum brake, supported by a Combined Braking System (CBS) for stable and confident stopping power. To handle the unpredictable nature of Indian roads, the bike comes with a telescopic front fork and twin shock absorbers at the rear, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride over bumps and rough patches.
A Connected and Secure Riding Experience
Moving beyond basic transportation, the Platina CNG is packed with high-tech features that set it apart in the commuter segment. A digital LCD display keeps the rider informed, while Bluetooth connectivity enables call and SMS alerts. A particularly useful feature is the turn-by-turn navigation, which can be integrated for easy city navigation. For enhanced safety and visibility, it includes reflective tires and LED lighting for the headlight and brake light. Security is bolstered by a digital lock and alarm system with anti-theft technology.
An Accessible Package for the Modern Commuter
Bajaj has positioned the Platina CNG as an accessible upgrade, with an ex-showroom starting price of ₹91,197. The bike is also available through easy monthly installment plans, beginning at around ₹3,129. Potential buyers can also look out for festive season offers, including exchange bonuses and cashback discounts at dealerships.
For those seeking a sensible, feature-rich, and economical daily commuter, the Bajaj Platina CNG presents a powerful and well-rounded option that truly understands the evolving needs of the Indian rider.
