But is the comfort on the Bajaj Platina 100 really as good as Bajaj claims it to be with their "ComforTec" technology?
While Bajaj heavily markets the Platina 100's comfort features, the 'ComforTec' technology that is supposed to provide a smoother ride than other bikes in its class. This consists of longer front forks, spring in spring suspension and a rubber footpeg. Opinions on the actual comfort level, however, seem to vary widely among owners. One thing is certain, though: it's either praised for its plush ride, or derided for the lack of it, especially on longer journeys or on rough roads. Is ComforTec a real improvement or is it just marketing? So let’s see what real world experiences have to say about the comfort promises the Platina 100 makes.
The ComforTec isn't just hype. I shifted from a Hero Splendor and the difference in the ride quality is very noticeable, especially on bad roads.
It's ok for 100cc bike, but don't expect miracles. You will still feel it in your back after an hour of riding.
The seat is the weak point. The seat padding is thin, and negates a lot of the comfort benefit on long rides, but the suspension is good.
My friend's Honda CD 110 is more comfortable than I am. The setup with spring in spring really helps to absorb small bumps.
ComforTec is overrated. My old Discover was more comfortable. Faster and the Platina feels too softly sprung and wallowy.
For city commuting, it's great. On highways, however, the lack of weight makes it feel unstable, negating any comfort advantages.
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.
