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.

When the Kristal 100 launched, what made this scooter different from other scooters?
29 January 2025 09:22
The Bajaj Kristal 100 stood out with its innovative features like front fueling, lightweight design (99 kg), and under-seat storage of 22 liters. It also featured advanced technologies like DTS-i (Digital Twin Spark Ignition) and ExhausTEC for better torque delivery. Its spring-in-suspension system ensured a comfortable ride, making it unique in its segment.

Did the Kristal 100 get underrated on the practical side of things when compared to other scooters of its time?
29 January 2025 09:22
Yes, the Kristal 100 was somewhat underrated despite its practical features like front fueling, ample storage, and lightweight build. Competing against more established models like the TVS Scooty and Honda Activa, it struggled to gain widespread popularity despite offering unique conveniences.
And how does the Kristal 100 compare to modern entry level scooters?
29 January 2025 09:22

Did Bajaj discontinue the Kristal 100 for a reason, and could it have been successful in today’s market?
29 January 2025 09:22
Bajaj discontinued the Kristal 100 due to declining demand for scooters in its lineup at that time. In today's market, with rising demand for urban-friendly scooters and EVs, a modernized or electric version of the Kristal could find success.
Does the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum’s long seat really work or is it just a gimmick after all?
29 January 2025 09:19
It's actually pretty awesome. When you're alone, you can slide back for a more relaxed ride; when you have a passenger, scoot forward. You can also strap stuff to the back part. It feels like it's a built in mini luggage rack.
Is the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum really as fuel efficient as it claims to be, saving you 50% on fuel costs, or is it mere marketing gimmick?
29 January 2025 09:19
It depends on where you live and how you use the bike, I think. If you live in a city with good CNG infrastructure and you ride a lot, you could see those kinds of savings. But it's not one-size-fits-all.
Is the CNG system of Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum really practical for daily use?
29 January 2025 09:19
It seems brilliant for delivery guys or anyone who rides the same fixed route every day. This way they can save a ton of money in the long run, and plan their refueling.
Is the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum a future classic or just plain weird because of its unique design?
29 January 2025 09:19
Well it’s definitely unique, that’s for sure. Twenty years from now, we might think of this as the bike that launched the CNG revolution. Could be a collector's item!
