Can the Platina 110’s claimed 80 kmpl fuel efficiency be achieved in real life?

by @ashutosh.kumarover 1 year ago0 views7 answers
But on paper, the Platina 110 is one of the most fuel efficient bikes in its segment, with a claimed fuel efficiency of a whopping 80 kmpl. Commuters and bike enthusiasts have made this claim a major talking point. Some users claim to get close to the figures touted, others are disappointed with much lower real world mileage. The actual efficiency seems to depend on things like riding style and traffic conditions, maintenance and fuel quality too. But there's also debate as to whether such high efficiency comes at the expense of the bike's performance or whether it demands an unrealistic riding style. But some riders say the focus on extreme fuel efficiency could be detuning engines, a practice that could have detrimental long term reliability and performance consequences.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
