Bajaj has re-launched the Platina 125cc. The new Platina 125cc comes with few cosmetic changes with all new body graphics, as well as a modified powertrain unit.
Platina 125cc engine develops 8.5PS of peak power at 7000rpm and 10Nm of peak torque at 4000rpm where as the earlier platina 125cc developed 9.5PS of peak power and 10.85Nm of peak torque by these figures, it seems the platina 125cc is tuned down for fuel efficiency. Seems Bajaj still thinks that 125 cc is the base segment despite the current success of Discover DTS-SI.
Welcome changes are the five speed gearbox in new Platina and Bajaj has managed to shave 3kg from platina. Now the kerb weight stands at 110kg.
The New Platina 125cc seems to be positioned as semi-urban and rural commuter and is priced Rs36,000 ex-showroom.
