I wonder why Bajaj has not added ABS to the Platina 125 when the 110cc has it?

In all likelihood, it's just a cost cutting measure. They are trying to keep the base price low because most buyers in this segment are price sensitive, Bajaj says.

I think it’s more of a marketing strategy. What they’re trying to do is give people a reason to choose the 110 instead of the 125. The 125 would cannibalize the 110's sales completely if it had ABS.

They should add ABS to the 125, it's ridiculous they haven't. Marketing gimmicks and cost cutting should never be at the cost of safety. I would gladly pay more for ABS on the 125.

I don’t think ABS is necessary on a 125cc commuter, unpopular opinion. It just adds unnecessary complexity and cost — these bikes aren't fast enough to really benefit from it.

This could be because Bajaj is planning to introduce an ABS version of the 125 later at a premium. Launching a basic version first and adding features is a classic way to justify a price hike.

I stuck with my old Platina because the 125 doesn’t have ABS. Safety features should get better as you go up the range, not disappear. This is just poor product planning from Bajaj.

Let’s be real, how many Platina riders are riding their bikes so hard that ABS would actually save their lives? This is not a sport bike, this is a city commuter. For its purpose, basic brakes are fine.
Can the Platina 110’s claimed 80 kmpl fuel efficiency be achieved in real life?
29 January 2025 09:42
No way! In city traffic I barely get 65 kmpl. You could hit 80 on long highway rides, but that’s not realistic for most users.

I ride very conservatively, and I’m actually getting pretty close to 80 kmpl. You can, but you really have to work at it.

These claimed figures are in ideal conditions only. Even 110cc bike can deliver real world 70 75 kmpl.

I believe it's a lot about maintenance. If you keep the chain lubed, the air filter clean, the tire pressure right, you can get pretty close to 80.

The trouble is, when you ride to go the farthest distance possible, you become a road hazard. Safety requires you to keep up with traffic flow.

So far I've found that after the first year the fuel efficiency drops dramatically. Probably due to carbon buildup and general wear.

It is achievable, but what would it cost? Riding conservatively is no fun. I would prefer a little less efficiency and a little more power.
When compared with Japanese competitors, how does the build quality of the Platina 110 fare over time?

5 years old and still smooth, my Platina has been running. It's just regular maintenance and it's all good. The build quality can’t be complained about.

Not Honda level, but decent. After a couple years of use the switches and plastics definitely feel cheaper.

I believe a lot depends on how you take care of it. If you take care of a Platina, it will last as long as any Japanese bike.

Solid engine and frame but little things like the stand spring or clutch cable seem to wear out more often than on my friend's Honda.

The Platina actually seems to hold up better in rusty conditions, in my experience. Fewer parts to be that fancy chrome and corrode.

It's a mixed bag. There are some parts that are surprisingly durable, and others that feel like they’re meant to be replaced. But for the money, it's not bad.
