Bajaj New Platina 125 cc launched

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.

2010 Bajaj Pulsar in showrooms

The 2010 version or UG 4.5 of Bajaj Pulsar is in showrooms. The clip on handle bars are common across entire Pulsar range right from 135LS to 220 FI now.

The 150 Dts-i engine will now produce 15.06 ps which is slightly more than the current mill producing 14.09 ps. The increase in power will result in better performance justifying Pulsar as a ‘performance’ brand by Bajaj. The bike will use a bigger 29 mm (UCD 29) carburettor and redesigned in intake system which will add to the performance.

The bike will be dearer by Rs. 500 than the earlier avatars of the same.
