In terms of features, the all-new Platina comes with LED headlights with DRLs, redesigned side mirrors and knuckle guards for additional safety of the rider. However, this updated variant will not get a fully digital instrument cluster. Instead, the all-new instrument cluster is now completely an analogue unit. Apart from this, customers will also be witnessing three new color schemes on offer, including – Volcanic Red, Charcoal Black and Beach Blue.
Surprisingly, Bajaj is ready to offer the ‘ComforTec’ package on the 2021 Bajaj Platina ABS that includes Nitrox suspension at the rear and a more comfortable seat as well. Further, the updated bike now comes with a 240mm disc brake upfront and a 110mm drum unit at the back. Thankfully, the drum brake will now be available with a single-channel ABS at the rear.
At the heart, this new ABS variant gets the same 115cc single-cylinder engine that is capable of producing 8.6PS of power @ 7000 RPM. Further, the peak torque from this engine stands at 9.8Nm @ 5000 RPM while being mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The 2021 Bajaj Platina 110 ABS still comes with a decent 200mm ground clearance. Apart from this, the alloy wheels present on the all-new bike are now painted in white which looks similar to the RS and NS models.
