Is the Bajaj Platina 100 ES's reputation for reliability any different now?
29 January 2025 09:37
Noticed definitely definitely definitely a drop in quality. My old one never did, but my new Platina has had electrical issues. It looks like Bajaj is cutting corners.
Is the Bajaj Platina 100 ES reliability matched by its fundamental features and style?
29 January 2025 09:37
For those wanting an inexpensive and low maintenance model, the Platina's basic design is perfect for both rural areas and people living in rural areas. Not everyone wants fancy features, and not everyone needs them.
Is the comfort tech of the Bajaj Platina 100 ES really that effective or just some marketing hype?
29 January 2025 09:37
The ComforTec actually works! I can ride over pretty bad roads without being beat up. It’s definitely not luxury car comfort, but it’s much better than any other bikes I’ve ridden at this price.
Do some owners claim the Bajaj Platina 100 ES is really the 'king of mileage'?
29 January 2025 09:37
I've had this Platina for 2 years now and I'm always getting around 80-85 kmpl in the city. This isn't the 90+ that Bajaj claims but it's still pretty damn good. The only thing you need to do is ride sensibly and take care of regular maintenance.
So, why does the Bajaj Platina 100 ES seem to divide owners right down the middle?
29 January 2025 09:37
Bajaj has an inconsistent quality control, and that’s why it has a polarizing reputation. There are some bikes that are rock solid reliable, others are lemons from day one. It's like a lottery.
What are the reasons that some Bajaj Platina 100 owners complain of rapid brake shoes wear and bad braking performance?
29 January 2025 09:29
This issue is overblown. I’m still on my original brake shoes at 40,000km. It’s not about riding the brakes, it’s about proper adjustment.
Can the Bajaj Platina 100's build quality be justified by its budget friendly price or is it just ‘you get what you pay for’?
29 January 2025 09:29
The Platina definitely feels less sturdy, coming from a Hero Splendor. It’s also significantly cheaper, so I can’t complain too much.
What makes the Bajaj Platina 100 appear to have more engine problems than other 100cc bikes?
29 January 2025 09:29
After just 7 months my Platina started showing black smoke. The service center couldn't really fix it. I believe Bajaj had to compromise on quality to keep the price low.
But is the comfort on the Bajaj Platina 100 really as good as Bajaj claims it to be with their "ComforTec" technology?
29 January 2025 09:29
It's all relative. The Platina feels like a cloud coming from a motorcycle with a stiffer setup. At the end of the day, it's still a budget commuter.
Do owners of the Bajaj Platina 100 really have the king of mileage?
29 January 2025 09:29
I’ve been riding Platina for 2 years now and get 75-80 kmpl in city traffic consistently. It’s not the 90 kmpl that Bajaj advertises, but it’s not bad at all.
