Bajaj has marketed its 'ComforTec' technology on the Platina series heavily, saying it offers superior ride comfort on rough Indian roads. According to this technology, it has a longer wheelbase, special suspension setup and ergonomically designed seat. Opinions on its effectiveness however, range from the extreme. For some, it’s the comfort they swear by, especially on long rides, but for others, it’s more of a marketing gimmick than a real improvement. The debate is often taken a step further by comparing it to other commuter bikes in the same price range, and whether or not the Platina 125 gives you a more comfortable ride than the rest. Riders also talk about how well the ComforTec features hold up over time, and whether it’s worth any additional cost or weight. The topic usually opens the door to a bigger discussion about the significance of ride comfort in the commuter segment and how each manufacturer handles this aspect of motorcycle building.
