Bajaj Platina 110 Drum Variant to Remain Available in the Market
In a surprising move, Bajaj Auto has decided to discontinue the Bajaj Platina 110 ABS in India. This decision comes after a period of declining sales for the model, which was once a popular choice among commuters.
The primary reason for discontinuing the Bajaj Platina 110 ABS is its low sales performance over the past few years. Despite being the only sub-125cc motorcycle in its segment to feature single-channel ABS, the demand for this model was not sufficient to justify its continued production. The ABS version was also the most expensive model in the Platina lineup, which may have contributed to its lack of popularity.

While the ABS variant has been discontinued, Bajaj Auto will continue to sell the regular drum variant of the Platina 110. This model remains a reliable and affordable option for commuters, offering the same engine and performance specifications without the added cost of ABS.
Bajaj Platina 110 Specifications
The Bajaj Platina 110 features a 115cc single-cylinder engine. It generates 8.44 bhp at 7,000 rpm and offers a maximum torque of 9.81 Nm at 5,000 rpm. This model is equipped with a five-speed gearbox and has drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with a combined braking system. Weighing 119 kg, the Platina 110 also has an 11-liter fuel tank. This design ensures a smooth and efficient ride, making it ideal for daily commuting.

Impact on the Market
The discontinuation of the Platina 110 ABS leaves a gap in the market for affordable motorcycles with advanced safety features. However, Bajaj Auto’s decision to continue offering the drum variant ensures that budget-conscious consumers still have access to a reliable and economical commuting option.
The discontinuation of the Bajaj Platina 110 ABS marks the end of an era for this unique model. While it may no longer be available, the regular drum variant continues to serve the needs of commuters across India. Bajaj Auto’s decision reflects the changing dynamics of the motorcycle market and the importance of balancing advanced features with affordability.
